Brooke Baldwin had an emotional goodbye to CNN after 13 years
-
"Let me let you in on a little secret: This job, my show here on CNN, was not originally supposed to be mine," she said on her final day on CNN Newsroom. "More than a decade ago, there was an anchor who suddenly departed CNN, leaving this gaping hole in the afternoons, and the then-bosses quickly turned to me. They were like, 'Brooke, we're going to need you to keep this seat warm, just for a week until we actually find the person who will take over the show.'"
