The longtime anchor held her final episode on May 21, where she thanked her Los Angeles colleagues for their immeasurable work ethic and for their fans to welcome her into the house for years.
“I’m literally swimming with gratitude,” Norbill said. “I stayed so long because you welcomed me and the stories we told. I know that many of you are a lot of your companions and you said you missed our daily visit. I’m going to miss them too.”
The 66-year-old former “Today” show recalled a negative experience with her first television job, adding that the woman said she was not in the industry, “I spent the last 47 years trying to prove her wrong.”
“And my thoughts are this. Trust yourself when it appears that no one else will do that, because you may be surprised by the place that confidence will take you,” she said in her final remarks. “Thank you very much. Thank you very much. That’s the “Inside Edition.” bye bye. “
“Inside Edition” also included overwhelming numbers of filmed tributes such as Kathy Bates, Drew Barrymore, Cedric The Entertainer, and Morris Chestnut.
“I can’t believe it, but I know what you’re doing God’s speed and it’s going to be charming, beautiful and amazing. I love you and thank you for coming to my house for the last few years.” “See you at the big kiss and hair salon.”
