Elizabeth Vargas is leaving ABC News.

Vargas, who has spent the last 21 years at ABC, will depart in the spring, at the conclusion of the 40th season of 20/20. Vargas has co-hosted the prime time newsmagazine for the last 14 years.

[Terry Mross]

She’s good. And looks good, too.

Carl Cameron
James Rosen
Elizabeth Vargas

They always go in threes.

[Stand W]

My first thought was, “20/20 is still on?”.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

Yes, 20/20 is still on.

It is a pretty good newsmagazine for a Friday night.

Awww. Will she be working for Hammer and Cycle daily?

“I am sorry only to have to share this news with you as we celebrate the holidays,” Vargas wrote in a note to staff, obtained by TVNewser. “I had hoped to make this announcement after the first of the year.”

So what happened? Why the urgency to get this done earlier than expected?

Dang. Even the women are getting in on the popular behaving inappropriately fad, no doubt!

James Rosen will be missed....always thought Carl Cameron alias “campaign Carl” was a douche.

[corlorde]

Did she start drinking again?

Trump!

I know she’s had drinking issues in the past. Maybe she’s going back in to recovery and/or wanting to spend time with family. Either way, she’s got vast wealth I’m sure, so good for her.

[Gay State Conservative]

Who did she her a$$?

[M Kehoe]

Was Vargas also spied on by 0bama’s NSA?

Like Rosen and Atkins? Amongst others...

Oh, not the drinking problem again...

[ They always go in threes. ]

I’ll now take this opportunity to quote a favorite line from “Married With Children” - I’ve probably not seen 1/2 of the episodes but remember this one (sorta).

Al: Bad things always happen in threes:

Celebrity deaths.

Airplane crashes.

Wilson Phillips.

[klgator]

I like 20/20, but the severe lines in her dresses drive me crazy.

[wattsgnu]

Carl Cameron. I have disliked him since Palin was running for vice president with that old guy. Carl was on Bill O’Reilly’s show and had a hit piece on Palin, using info from that Nicole Wallace loser I am sure. I won’t miss him.

She had a drinking problem a while ago, and was even in rehab for it.
