\n\tCBS Saturday Morning<\/a> co-hosts Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller bid a tearful goodbye on their final broadcast of the weekend news program.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAfter seven long years of welcoming you to the weekend, our time here is coming to a close,\u201d Miller began, as she reached out to clasp Jacobson\u2019s hand. \u201cCBS Saturday Morning\u00a0will still be here with the latest news and all the stories you expect from CBS News. We wish our colleagues the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJacobson added, \u201cWhile it wasn\u2019t our choice to leave, we did have one in how we get to say goodbye, including a chance to say thank you to the amazing producers, photographers, audio engineers, editors, makeup and hair stylists, assistants and floor crew and wardrobe \u2014 everybody who is a part of each and every story we told. Without them, there is no us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tContinuing, Jacobson \u2014 who previously spent a decade at ESPN \u2014 grew emotional as she recalled her time on Saturday Morning: \u201cWhat a gift that this show was. I got to travel the globe and be a storyteller again, do what I love most: interviews, talking and learning about people, then bringing their stories and experiences to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut what has made this job even more of a gift is all of you. At the airport, the gym, Celtics game or while I was even walking [my dog] Barkley, so many of you stopped me to share your love of Saturday Morning, how much you appreciated the escape and the knowledge that we\u2019ve provided,\u201d Jacobson said, her voice breaking. \u201cThank you for making me feel like what I do is something that matters \u2014 what we do, matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMiller also recalled her history prior to the news show, recounting her experience of arriving in New York City 22 years ago with \u201cno job, no prospects, just a gritty reporter with a network of colleagues who gave me a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe concluded, \u201cSatMo gave us the opportunity to amplify stories that matter, from all vantage points and the time to tell them fully. To our viewers, thank you for giving us the inspiration and the confidence to dig deeper. Every story I ever told has reminded me that change is not an ending; it\u2019s an evolution, and I might add, a chance to gain a brighter sense of belonging.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith a final signoff, the two co-anchors clinked glasses of champagne and gave a final shoutout to executive producer Brian Applegate, senior broadcast producer Tony DiPolvere and previous host Anthony Mason.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast month, it was announced Miller and Jacobson would be departing<\/a> as part of a series of layoffs that hit Paramount<\/a>\u2018s CBS News. The weekday\u00a0CBS Mornings\u00a0team will now oversee the Saturday show. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe firings affected close to 100 CBS News staffers and were part of a round of layoffs impacting about 1,000 across\u00a0Paramount\u00a0following Skydance<\/a>\u2019s acquisition of the global conglomerate. Another 1,000 job cuts are expected in the coming months. <\/p>\n
