60 Minutes Leadership Shake-Up

60 Minutes Leadership Shake-Up

Author: The Daily News Now! June 5, 2026 Duration: 1:55

Big shake-up at “60 Minutes” as Scott Pelley, Cecilia Vega, Sharyn Alfonsi, and exec producer Tanya Simon are out, reportedly under new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss — who has zero TV experience. Unions are furious, calling it a direct attack on journalistic independence and democracy, with Writers Guild East branding it “profound contempt.” Pelley claims Weiss is dismantling the show and that CBS pressured him to include biased, unverified content — which he refused. Since Weiss took over in October, layoffs and CBS News Radio’s shutdown have followed. With four key correspondents gone and next season’s production already underway, the show is scrambling to replace talent — while SAG-AFTRA threatens legal action.
