Jeff Glor is an accomplished American journalist and has an estimated net worth of approximately $5 million. He rose to prominence as the anchor of CBS Evening News (2017 to 2019) and enjoyed a long and successful career of nearly 20 years of service to CBS, reporting on some of the most recognized and important stories at both the national and international levels. Throughout his career, Glor has earned a good reputation for living up to high journalistic integrity, delivering the news with a measured honesty, and being open to taking on more difficult assignments, whether that is war, disasters, or politics.
Though he completed his anchoring of CBS Evening News in 2019, he was assigned to co-anchor CBS Saturday Morning, from which both he and the other co-anchors were removed from the programming by CBS in September 2025. CBS explained the decision was made on cost-cutting measures for the network.
Early Life & Education
Jeffery Todd Glor was born on July 12, 1975, in Buffalo, New York and raised in Tonawanda, New York, a suburb of Buffalo. Glor is a graduate of Kenmore East High School but pursued a bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University, where he attended the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, majoring in a dual degree in journalism and economics. He graduated from Syracuse University in 1997, and he feels he was academically and personally prepared to enter the field of broadcast journalism.
Early Career in Local News
Glor started his career at WSTM-TV, which is an NBC affiliate station in Syracuse, New York, as a reporter and served as a co-anchor for the station’s 5 pm newscast and the 11 pm broadcasts. His professionalism and polished diction set him apart from other local television reporters. He later took a job anchoring the morning news at WHDH-TV in Boston, where the competition with other media outlets was much steeper than in Providence. The tough stories he covered and the hours of reportorial work and prepping stories at nearby stations only made him better with breaking news and general storytelling.
A CBS News career
In 2007, Glor accepted a position at CBS News as a correspondent for The Early Show, followed by national correspondent reports for CBS News. If you watched CBS Evening News, you saw him, whether as a correspondent or at the end as a weekend anchor.
Some of the stories that he covered included:
Hurricane Sandy
The Boston Marathon bombings
The military’s U.S. military action abroad
Glor built credibility, practiced being calm under often tough circumstances, and earned respect from his viewers and, in turn, earned respect from CBS executives, and this surely helped secure his promotions over time.
As CBS Evening News anchor
By late 2017, Glor became the permanent anchor for CBS Evening News. He covered stories documenting:
The Trump administration and U.S. government reporting on U.S. politics
Natural disasters and hurricane reporting in Puerto Rico and California
International conflict and crisis reporting
While Glor was CBS Evening News anchor, the ratings did not change significantly with the change in anchors. But while reviewers noted he kept a well-measured journalist’s voice, and that he rarely strayed from that, they noted that he was reliable in providing factual information. In 2019, CBS changed and replaced Jeff Glor with Norah O’Donnell, while CBS retained him in some capacity. Later Career and CBS Saturday Morning
After leaving the evening desk, Glor became a co-host of CBS Saturday Morning, blending hard news, feature stories, and cultural stories together. In addition, he was still active on CBS News programs and special reports and retained a visible role in the network.
However, in September 2025, Glor was one of several correspondents who were laid off as part of corporate restructuring and cost-cutting. This layoffmarked the end of an 18-year career at CBS News.
Salary and Net Worth
At the peak of his CBS career, specifically as the anchor of the CBS Evening News, his salary was reported to be in the \$1 to \$1.5 million-per-year range. While his total net worth of \$5 million is indicative of both his CBS income and also his extensive career in journalism, as well as book royalties and speaking engagements.
Awards and Honors

- Regional Emmy Award’s for his early work in local news
- Early praise for his national reporting at CBS
