Charles Gibson vacates World News anchor chair tonight

Considered one way, Charles Gibson 's career in TV news seems to be a model of stability: 34 years logged with one employer, ABC. There, he did his job well and rose to the top echelon of his profession, forming a firm bond with his viewers and offering his gracious signoff, "I hope you had a good day."

On the other hand, Gibson, who today retires from the World News anchor desk and from ABC as a full-time employee, is bowing out as more than an admired network news star.

At 66, he's a proven utility player, game to handle a range of positions and scramble to the rescue when needed.

In an orderly and low-key passing of the torch, Sawyer will replace him Monday at the World News anchor desk.

Meanwhile, in Gibson's new life of much-earned retirement, he presumably will still be hoping viewers tuned to World News have "had a good day."
