Charles Gibson Says Goodbye to ABC ‘World News’

In his final broadcast as the anchor of ABC's "World News," Charles Gibson thanked his colleagues and viewers and passed the torch to Diane Sawyer, who takes over for him on Monday.

Gibson, who has anchored the program since May 2006, said in his closing statement:

“As has been mentioned a time or six over the past week -- this is my last broadcast in this chair. And it's hard to walk away from what I honestly think is the best job in the world -- but my parents taught me you should understay, not overstay, your welcome. And there is so much to do. In the years I have left, I don't want to miss any of it.
