Carol Costello Gets Emotional as CNN Plays Farewell Video During Her Final Broadcast

Earlier this week, CNN anchor Carol Costello dropped a bit of a bombshell when she announced on air that she this week would be her last at CNN, as she’s moving to HLN so she can be closer to her husband, as he took a job in Los Angeles.

At the end of her final broadcast today, a farewell video was played showing a number of her CNN colleagues saying goodbye to Costello. The video also featured some of her most memorable moments as an anchor.

While the clip played, Costello could be seen holding back tears while she watched.

“I just want to thank you for watching me on so many mornings through so many things,” a clearly emotional Costello said. “I don’t think I can go on but thank you. I will miss you.”
