CBS News anchor John Dickerson has been named co-host of "CBS This Morning," joining Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell.

Dickerson, who's moderated the CBS show "Face The Nation" since 2015, will fill the anchor seat vacated by veteran newsman Charlie Rose.

CBS News fired Rose following sexual misconduct allegations in mid-November. Rose's firing came in the wake of the Washington Post's report of eight women who accused the veteran newsman of multiple unwanted sexual advances and inappropriate behavior.

Dickerson begins anchoring on Wednesday.

“John’s impressive track record and strong all-around journalism extends our commitment to real news coverage every morning at CBS News,” said David Rhodes, president of CBS News.  “Gayle and Norah continue to show tremendous leadership on our morning broadcast each day.

"Colleagues, newsmakers, and peers all appreciate the depth and context John Dickerson brings to every discussion of the day’s events—together with his co-hosts he will project our best values on every broadcast.”
