Three 60 Minutes Veterans Stay Put Amid CBS Turmoil
TL;DR Summary
Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim will return for the next season of 60 Minutes as CBS News undergoes leadership upheaval, including the ouster of executive producer Tanya Simon and the firing of Scott Pelley; in a staff memo they say their decision isn’t an endorsement of the old power structure but a commitment to keeping the show’s independence and legacy, while Nick Bilton takes over as executive producer and Maria Gavrilovic is promoted to senior producer, signaling a push for independent, audience-focused reporting and expansion to other platforms.
