She's heading over to CNN, and Wall Street (and the BI) is pretty sad about it.
Of course we were feeling very nostalgic, so we put together our favorite Burnett moments from the past few years.
Of course, her camel and hula-hooping stylings are in there.
As well as a little-known and so-Erin exchange with Conan O'Brien.

When she wore a new dress with the security tag still on it on Conan O'Brien
It wasn't on CNBC, but we had to include it. Erin appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and realized that the security tag was still on her dress.
Of course she took it all in her stride, and even made Conan chuckle with this line: "It just goes to show... that we are in a recession, just take the clothes."
Conan responded: "Sound financial advice from Erin Burnett."

When she hula-hooped... and not very well
After Michelle Obama made headlines by being really good at hula hooping in 2009, Erin tried it out.
She wasn't great at it, Erin Burnett, and kind of didn't really get it going at all. In her defense: Erin was wearing a tight skirt that went below her knees, hindering her ability to really get the hula movement down right.

When she tried the Kate Gosselin look
In 2009, at the height of the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" craze, Erin appeared on the Today show, and tried on a wig that was inspired by Kate Gosselin.
At the time, John Carney wrote: "Sometimes we think that the crew of the Today show are hazing the CNBC anchor, making her humiliate herself just to prove she'll do anything to get on the big network. She's a good sport for putting up with all of this."

When she danced with Bill Gross to "Simply Irresistible"
When PIMCO boss Bill Gross appeared on CNBC, Erin read out a line from one of his investor letters: "Bill, you wrote this morning: She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went. Robert Palmer inspired you because, I guess, America's sort of like that irresistible woman."
And then they danced, side-by-side.

When she yelled at EuroPac's Michael Pento for being rude
In September last year, EuroPacific's Michael Pento appeared on CNBC to talk about the US bond market. And during the debate, in which there was some yelling and talking over each other -- pretty standard stuff -- Erin yelled at him: YOU ARE SO RUDE right at the :37 mark.
Then after he finished his point, she lectured him more, prompting a massive eye-roll.

The waterworks begin at 1:43 when Mark Haines takes Erin Burnett's hand and gives a heartfelt goodbye speech with his voice cracking the entire time. "You are the best... We're gonna miss you a lot," Haines said to Burnett.
And Erin began to tear up. And so did we.
Goodbye Erin, we'll miss you!!
