Deborah Norville Exiting ‘Inside Edition’ After 30 Years, As She Prepares to Launch New Syndicated Game Show

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “Inside Edition” anchor Deborah Norville is departing the daytime newsmagazine strip after 30 years — even though she’s not leaving the syndication universe.

Norville, who will next host the syndicated trivia game show “The Perfect Line” in fall 2025, revealed her departure from “Inside Ediiton” on Wednesday’s show.

In the statement, she said she passed on an offer to remain on the show — “but there are things I’d like to do and places I want to do them that continuing here doesn’t permit.” Norville reps the latest TV host and anchor to depart as the industry continues to downsize. “It has been such an honor and privilege to be here at ‘Inside Edition’ for all these years,” she said on the telecast. “A milestone like this is a time for reflection, and on reflection, I have decided that now is the time to move on from ‘Inside Edition.’ They made me a lovely offer to stay, but there are things I’d like to do and places I want to do them that continuing here doesn’t permit.

So, at the end of the season, I’ll be moving on. I’ve got some exciting things in the works, which I’ll talk about later, but what I want to say now is what a privilege it’s been to lead ‘Inside Edition’ for all these years.
