Her tenure as news editor garnered five Emmy Awards honoring the programs’ investigative and culturally significant coverage.

After leaving CBS News in 1993, Vieira went on to co-host The View and the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, during which she concurrently was co-anchor of NBC’s Today. She returned to Today as a temporary guest host in 2019.
