According to the anchor, she is quitting the morning show to spend time with her daughter and said, “I’ve been waking up at 2 a.m. for 8.5 years (closer to 10 years if you count my time as a morning show reporter). My daughter has a later bedtime than I do (!!), and I don’t get to see her when she wakes up. She’s started asking at bedtime if I’ll be there when she wakes up in the morning. She’s my “why.””
