Jeff Glor, who once anchored the “CBS Evening News” and has been with CBS News since 2007, is among those being laid off by Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS.

Glor served a variety of roles at CBS News, including anchoring and hosting on weekends, both in the mornings and on the evening news. Then, in 2017, he became the anchor of the “CBS Evening News.” He was in that coveted role from November 2017 to May 2019. Glor then exited the chair and was replaced briefly by a rotating group of interim anchors before Norah O’Donnell took over as the permanent anchor.

Since then, Glor has been co-host of “CBS Saturday Morning,” and has been a CBS News special correspondent.
