Josh Elliott Fired From CBS News, Escorted Out Of Building By Security

Josh Elliott was fired from CBS News on Monday morning and was reportedly escorted out of the building by security. The decision comes after Elliott made some unpredictable moves that didn’t go over well with the senior-most execs.

Page Six reports that the former Good Morning America anchor was fired from the CBS network after shocking network bosses by announcing he was leaving the live streaming news channel for a bigger role within the organization.

Josh Elliott had served as CBSN’s lead anchor for a year, and gave an emotional farewell on air last Friday. He told viewers that it was his “last day,” adding that “it has been by any measure a great stay here at CBSN.”
