The 'NFL Today' analyst will join Gayle King and Tony Dokoupil on the CBS morning show, as part of an overall deal that will also add a role with Nickelodeon.

“He is a gifted broadcaster, interviewer, storyteller, writer, poet and an exceptionally thoughtful voice in conversations around the social issues of our time which transcend news, sports and entertainment genres,” Khemlani wrote in a memo to staff Wednesday morning.

As for Mason, Khemlani wrote that he “is committed to covering culture – both in terms of how it defines the atmosphere of the country and how culture changes it. He believes fiercely that art and music are integral to our culture, not merely odd indulgences. They frequently define our time in very real ways.

This was NOT a wise decision. Burleson is not a good fit for a news program. He lacks the education to effectively be a co-anchor. He needs to articulate more when he speaks. This aint a sports broadcast. CBSMornings should’ve hired an Asian American anchor!

I love Anthony Mason & his style & energy to everything he did. I'm not happy he's not at the table anymore, but I won't be at the table anymore either!!! Not a fan of Gayle anymore, for many reasons....very disappointed with CBS......

CBS This Morning will not be the same without Anthony Mason, what a great talent he really is. This show will sink further down without Anthony!

Interesting that no Hispanic was selected to fill this sport. It becomes annoying hoping that CBS will someday have a Hispanic at the morning show desk. Sometimes we see Adriana Diaz there but she is only at the desk sparingly and never permanently. Sad, I won’t be watching!

Handsome. I can pull off a FAKEABABY fake ultrasound prank on him, LOL!

That’s nice. That program has never gotten the kind of viewership of NBC and ABC and it never will.

how about adding some latinos? seems they have been forgotten in the diversity push! The 12% being pushed ahead of the 19%.

There is a segment of the population that prefers the news to the fluff of the Today Show & GMA. CBSthismorning and CBSAnthonyMason

I hope this was Anthony's choice but I fear not. He is the best and I know I won't want to watch as much now.

Love Anthony Mason!!!

BOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Does this now mean that the weather report will soon be brought to U.S. by DaBaby? newsisnotentertainment
