Regular viewers of CNBC know and love Bill Griffeth.
Today, however, on the eve of Thanksgiving, Bill Griffeth is bidding farewell to CNBC, at least for the next year.
Taking a one year sabbatical from the anchor desk at CNBC's"Power Lunch," Bill Griffeth issued the following statement regarding his decision to take time off.
"First let me address all of the conspiracy theories: I'm not sick, I'm not being pushed out, and I'm not going on Dancing With The Stars. It's pretty straightforward. My wife and I are new empty-nesters, so after 28 years of doing business on TV now seems like a good time to take a break, do some traveling, work on a couple of book projects, and shave strokes off of my golf handicap. I will probably turn up on the air from time to time during the year, so I'll still see you around."
Bill Griffeth's presence on CNBC's Power Lunch will, indeed, be missed.
CNBC has not yet named an interim replacement.
