McCarthy went on "First was that, after 20 years in the business and paying a lot of dues...., working as a talk show host alongside the single most respected female news journalists of all time, Miss Barbara Walters. All I can say is 'Wow, am I grateful!' Second, was continuing to do what I've always tried to do in any situation I've ever found myself in, which is to learn."

McCarthy then turned to Bill Gedde and said"Working with you, I can now say I have worked with the best in the business - you are one of a kind and thank you. My time here was short, but the memories and lessons learned here will stay with me forever and for that, and to you guys at home who have supported me, I am grateful."
