Anderson Cooper was reportedly set to become the face of 60 Minutes under new leadership until he pulled out at the eleventh hour.
CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski had privately lauded Cooper, 58, as an important figure at the network and were finalizing a deal with him when he decided not to renew his contract, a source familiar with the situation told the New York Post.
“They must be p---ed,” the source said of Weiss and Cibrowski. “They wanted to build the show around him.”
