Several days after announcing his departure from CBS’s digital outlet
for a role with the main TV channel, Josh Elliott was fired by the
network. According to the New York Post, Elliott—who joined CBS just
last year—recently met with the outlet’s head of talent, Laurie Orlando,
who said she envisioned him taking on a bigger role with the TV
network. He then took to CBSN on Friday
to bid viewers farewell—except CBS executives were reportedly unaware
of the departure or planned changes in his role. “Josh was called to a
meeting [on Monday] with CBS News heads including David Rhodes and
fired,” a source told the Post. “He was escorted out of the building by
security. Meanwhile, Laurie Orlando, who seems to be responsible for
much of this mess is missing. Nobody has seen her. This is a mystifying
situation.” Prior to anchoring CBSN, Elliott served as a sports anchor
for NBC News after several years of anchoring ABC’s Good Morning America
and ESPN’s SportsCenter.
