Sidenote: I can't help but notice that Jim's hands tend to shake/tremble a lot. I hope he's not dealing with a serious medical condition.

 

Wanted to make sure I shared Jim Williams' Facebook post from only Tuesday, announcing that he's leaving and that his last day is TOMORROW (Thursday, January 16th).  I hope he's alright - his post makes no mention of his health, rather that he's excited for the next chapter.  But the rapid fire timing of this has me worried about him.  Because I too have noticed his hand shaking, and also his voice sounds different at times.  I will really miss him, a big loss to Channel 2...

Not at this time. So far we’ve seen Marie go solo on the 11, and Joe alongside her at 4.

Caught Mugo on CBS News 24/7. Not sure if this was her official debut, but she appears to be settling in well.

Forgot to follow up on this! Marie has been going solo the last few months at 4 with the shot established across from the desk. (Similar to the shots in studio B)
