In a recent scandal that has plagued many Networks over the past year, O'Donnell was a vocal supporter for the sexual harassment allegations against longtime CEO of CBS Leslie Moonves made by several women working at the network but was also confident that Moonves would never do such an awful thing and that a deep investigation was required. The allegations made against Moonves saw him exit the network. Norah has stated that the allegations have hurt the morale of the network and that the truth would eventually be revealed through a detailed investigation.

The scandal has left a big hole in the network. After the departure of top executives from the network, CBS decided to put their faith in one of the top females producers in charge in the form of Susan Zirinksy. Zirinksy, who took over as president of the network from David Rhodes, has voiced her opinion on appointing a woman to another top post at the network. And she sees Norah O'Donnell as the perfect candidate to do so. Susan is looking to appoint Norah as the host of the Evening News on CBS. It seems the scandal might have played a little favor for O'Donnell.
