In similar fashion, Wragge came to Houston in 1998 as Craig Roberts' backup on Channel 2 and was elevated to the top spot in 2000, a year before Roberts was let go. He left Houston in 2004 to replace veteran sportscaster Warner Wolf at WCBS in New York and two years later became the station's lead news anchor. "Everything I've done, whether it's being a sportscaster to going to ET to doing news for four-plus years, it's been to check all the major boxes you need to be aLinks of London sale morning show anchor," Wragge said during a recent trip to Houston. "This is what I've wanted to do. Everything I've done has been to prepare myself for the day I could be in one of those seats.

And I genuinely feel that the people I'm working with can make (The Early Show) a hell of a lot better than it has been."
