Anne Robinson to Step Down as Countdown Host
After just one year of hosting the popular Channel 4 quiz show, Anne Robinson has announced that she will be stepping down.
In a statement, Robinson said that she had decided to leave Countdown because she felt it was time for a "new challenge."
"I've loved every minute of hosting Countdown," Robinson said. "But I'm also a great believer in knowing when it's time to move on, and I feel that now is the right time for me to do that. I wish the show and everyone involved with it all the best."
Channel 4 has confirmed that Robinson's final episode of Countdown will air on May 7th. A replacement for Robinson has not yet been announced.
