Stephanie Ruhle Gets Emotional During Final Sign-Off On MS NOW

Ruhle thanked viewers for making the program part of their nightly routine and acknowledged the unique relationship she developed with them over the years.

“You don’t have this program on in the background,” she said.

“Instead, you are choosing to invite us into your home every night — sometimes giving me the privilege of being the last voice you hear before you go to sleep,” she said.

And I take that privilege seriously. So to you, I say thank you,” she continued.

Following her remarks, MS NOW aired a montage highlighting memorable moments from Ruhle’s tenure on the program.

After the retrospective concluded, Ruhle turned her attention to the person who will inherit the anchor chair.

She praised Velshi, describing him as both a trusted colleague and close friend.

“And I’m grateful to be leaving you all in such capable hands,” Ruhle said.

“My good friend and colleague of many years, my partner in crime, Ali Velshi, will be taking over the ‘11th Hour’ anchor chair on Monday.”
