Elliott’s Career Troubles and Recent History
Elliott worked for NBC Sports before joining CBS News as CBSN’s lead daytime anchor in March 2016. His tenure was brief and tumultuous, lasting less than a year. On air in February 2017, he announced his departure for a larger CBS News role, allegedly blindsiding executives.
CBS News claimed to be “parting ways” with Elliott shortly after. He was reportedly escorted from the building by security following the announcement controversy. Sources indicated a communication breakdown between Elliott and his executive producer caused the situation.
What’s Next, and Can They Resolve Their Differences?
The couple shares two Portuguese Water Dogs and jointly owns a Connecticut marital residence, complicating the split further. Their legal teams have sparred over discovery requests, with Elliott objecting to Cho’s requests as unreasonable and harassing. A source told Page Six the requests are standard divorce procedure with “no evidence” of infidelity.
Elliott counter-accused Cho of monitoring his phone calls, rifling through belongings, and leaving the dogs without care. Both are scheduled to appear in court on March 20, 2026. Will the television anchors reach a settlement before trial, or does this scandal signal the end of their decade-long relationship for good?
