Long time Early Edition host Rick Cluff's retirement triggered a game of host tetris at Vancouver's CBC, landing Eliot her first permanent role after filling in for various positions. She's been preparing the pages of notes surrounding her since six that morning and, while various screens around her demand her attention, she manages to find time to poke fun at newsreader Robert Zimmerman across the table. While the show has a new name, host and soundtrack, the structure remains largely the same save for the fact that the top news story of the day now gets an hour's worth of air time, rather than 30 minutes.
