![Rowland Evans and Robert Novak: Evans and Novak joined CNN in its infancy in 1980, and their political discussion program “Evans & Novak” — an adaptation of their already successfully syndicated column — became one of the lineup’s early hits. The pair pioneered by “transferring [their column’s] influence to the new medium of cable television,” the New York Times wrote in Evans’ obituary, following his 2001 death. He and Novak hosted their program together for almost 20 years; and Novak continued to write following Evans’ 1993 retirement. A pugilistic political commenter on many different series, Novak left CNN in 2005 and moved to Fox News, but retired from journalism in 2008 following a brain tumor diagnosis. He died in 2009.](https://images.ajc.com/resizer/v2/Y6VONG32ZWYAYRI226ZXFYA7VQ.jpg?auth=cd3940e8571cf1f294ce7e7c49806400df7c3f039b7d9e904c6f2f67322dc9fb&width=3840&height=1909&smart=true)

Hart nervously stumbled through the sign-off from that first show, apparently unsure how to do so on a 24-hour news network. Hart and Walker left CNN in 1989 to join CNBC, where they then anchored that network’s first newscast. The couple retired in 2008.
