Vinita Nair, ABC World News Now Anchor, Calls It Quits (VIDEOS)

ABC World News Now co-anchor Vinita Nair called it quits this morning.

Nair, who has co-hosted the somewhat unusual news show since 2008, has been praised for her light-hearted on-air personality.

She leaves behind a number of fun memories, including an on-air wedding polka.

While no one seems to know what Nair will do next, she recently appeared on an episode of "One Life to Live." Many fans are speculating on her future.

This sucks. I loved her personality and sense of humor. Not getting into it without her. Ugh.

It's funny but I can never adjust to daylight saving time so Ms. Nair and World News Now became my favorite news show and Ms. Nair was one of my favorite broadcasters. I was lucky enough to catch her last show. She will be missed. Good luck to you, Ms. Nair.

I'm just disappointed there's one less ethnic person on TV news. There's already a dearth of brown skinned people, now there will be even fewer. And I'm willing to speculate she'll be supplanted by a GOP archetype i.e an old white guy.

The only interesting thing to watch whenever my insomnia kicks in. Now I'm left with infomercials and prison programming.

On air talent doesn't deserve to be praised as if what they do is a noble talent. It's about looks and slant. On air talent is part of the problem of why we receive so much nonsense and believe the junk that's fed to us. Let's be honest, female on air talent has less to do with acutal talent as much as their Q factor and attractiveness.

She was enjoyable to watch for us insomniacs. She kept us alert, but not so excitable that it got on our sleep deprived nerves.

I always thought she was fun to watch. And she's very pretty.

I hope she does well.

New people are way over rated. There is so much competition from news outlets from around the world that these people are expendable.

Hopefully she has moved on to bigger things than the 3am news cast

It gets tough when you're competing with montel williams infomercials and the ghost of billy mays
