Anderson Cooper Announces Exit From 60 Minutes After Nearly 20 Years
Anderson Cooper leaves CBS's '60 Minutes' after nearly 20 years to focus on his young children and full-time role at CNN amid CBS News leadership turmoil.
- Anderson Cooper is ending his time at 60 Minutes and opted not to renew his contract; his final segment, an interview with Ken Burns, aired Sunday, and he will focus on CNN and his young children.
- Nearly 20 years after joining in 2006-07, Anderson Cooper signed a new deal with CNN late last year and, after recent weeks of negotiations, chose to focus on CNN instead of renewing with 60 Minutes.
- CBS had an agreement allowing Anderson Cooper to run his 60 Minutes segments on his CNN show, earning multiple Emmys and illustrating his prominence.
- The exit represents the first big on-air change under Bari Weiss, as Anderson Cooper plans to leave 60 Minutes after the current season, and CBS News executives did not immediately comment.
- Amid newsroom turmoil, CBS delayed a migrant report that later ran on Jan. 18, saw leadership departures including Bill Owens and Wendy McMahon, and faced a $16 million settlement with Paramount.
