Outgoing CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell is making the most of her remaining time at the Tiffany Network. Tonight’s final story stood as an ode to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, and to her cameo performance in a Broadway play. Watch the full report for yourself below, and try not to be overwhelmed with cringe: CBS EVENING NEWS 12/16/24 6:57 PM NORAH O’DONNELL: For many, serving on the Supreme Court is a dream role, it was for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, but she also had another dream. Broadway.  KETANJI BROWN JACKSON, ET AL: Show me the meaning of being lonely ♪ ♪ is this the feeling I need to walk with ♪♪ O’DONNELL: Jackson made history as the first Supreme Court justice in a Broadway production, when she took the stage Saturday in the musical "And Juliet." I spoke with Justice Jackson earlier this year about her theater ambitions, something she wrote about in her Harvard application.  “As I believe it might help me (quote) to fulfill my fantasy of becoming the first black female Supreme Court justice to appear on a Broadway stage." KETANJI BROWN JACKSON: Yes. Because I love theater. I mean, I did a lot of theater in college, and there was a time when I thought, “should I go into acting as opposed to law?” but, you know, I stuck with law, and so I thought this is a good way to combine the two. O’DONNELL: Well, the verdict in this landmark case was a standing ovation for Jackson. The play "And Juliet" explores what if Juliet hadn’t ended her life for Romeo, and had been given a second chance at love and life on her terms.  We have a little bit of omissive bias at the very end of the report because O’Donnell doesn't really disclose what the play is all about. But The New York Post does: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson briefly ditched the black robes and drama of the Supreme Court and made history with her Saturday night debut on Broadway in the musical “& Juliet,” a queer reimagining of William Shakespeare’s classic “Romeo & Juliet.” Jackson, who told members of the Senate during her 2022 confirmation that she can’t define what is a woman because she’s not a biologist, portrayed Queen Mab — described as a “she/her” character on a production poster — during her brief Broadway stint on Saturday. Justice Jackson is chiefly known for her unwillingness to define a woman at her Senate confirmation hearings. It is only fitting that she’s now performing in a play featuring sexually confused characters. Of course, this isn’t the first time that O’Donnell gushes over Jackson’s utterances. The last time we covered O’Donnell-Jackson was during their summer interview wherein, among other things, O’Donnell attacked the legitimacy of the Court. The rest of that interview was syrupy sycophancy and an emphasis on Jackson’s “first” status. Here, now, is another “historic first” for O’Donnell to gush over. It never ends!  Jackson was cited as having spoken the most words spoken in a session since 1990, which makes absolute sense now that we know she’s a theater kid. Historic.
