Tony Dokoupil Takes Helm of CBS Evening News as Katy Tur Cheers

The move follows a December announcement prompted by the departures of John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois.

Overview

  • CBS named Dokoupil the new anchor on Dec. 10, 2025, elevating him from his CBS Mornings co-host role that began in 2019.
  • Katy Tur publicly praised the appointment, calling him “perfect” for the job and joking on Instagram about his return to breakfast duty and daily pancakes.
  • The journalists met at MSNBC in 2015, Tur made the first move by email, and they later eloped in Utah on Oct. 27, 2017.
  • They share two children, Teddy (born April 2019) and Eloise (born May 2021), and Dokoupil has two older children who live in Israel with his ex-wife Danielle Haas.
  • During the pandemic, the couple broadcast from a makeshift basement newsroom in their New York City home, often assisting on each other’s shows.
