She is the second female journalist to anchor a network evening newscast in the nation; the first was Connie Chung.

After four years at WBBM-TV, Vargas jumped to NBC News in 1993 as a correspondent for Dateline NBC and a substitute anchor for Today. In June 1996, she joined ABC’s Good Morning America as the newsreader and Joan Lunden’s likely “heir apparent”. In June 1997, ABC promoted Vargas to primetime magazine show correspondent, succeeded by Kevin Newman as newsreader. In 2002, she was one of the anchors for 20/20 Downtown, which was later rebranded Downtown before being rebranded again in 2003 as Primetime Monday before its end.

Vargas was the first national evening news anchor of Puerto Rican and Irish- American heritage and also the third female anchor of a network evening newscast in the U.S. since Connie Chung and Barbara Walters. She is said to be particularly proud of an ABC special report in which she questioned why the Laci Peterson case merited more attention than two other similar cases, one involving a black woman and the other involving a Hispanic woman. Another story she did, based on the book The Da Vinci Code and the role of Mary Magdalene, helped fuel a nationwide religious debate. Vargas stated that for centuries Mary Magdalene has been portrayed as a prostitute by the church despite evidence to the contrary. She went on to question the strictly limited role of women within the church. In 1999, she won an Emmy Award for her coverage of the Elián González story, and in 1998 she was nominated for an Emmy Award for her 20/20 investigation into the wrongful conviction of Betty Tyson.
