Soon after, Roberts left CBS and joined CNN. Together with CNN colleague Anderson Cooper, he won critical praise for his work covering the Hurricane Katrina disaster which devastated New Orleans and the American Gulf Coast. He and Anderson have formed a close relationship.

In July 2006 and August 2006, Roberts reported from the front lines in the Israel/Hezbollah war and at one point, embedded with an Israeli infantry unit, marching 10 miles into Lebanon. CNN's coverage of the war was recognized with an Edward R. Murrow Award.

On March 12, 2009, Roberts was inducted into the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame.

The New York Post reported on December 7, 2010, that Roberts will depart "American Morning" and become a national correspondent based out of CNN's headquarters in Atlanta. The Associated Press is reporting that Roberts' departure was at his request so he could move closer to fiancee and CNN anchor Kyra Phillips.
