Late last week, NBC’s Today show co-anchor, Matt Lauer ended speculation about his future status with the morning show. Lauer told Today viewers Friday morning that he has signed a new long-term contract to remain as co-host saying, “This is my family.”
In the next new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians on E!, the show is expanding into 18 one-hour episodes, slated to premiere May 20 at 9p. The next edition of the series will catch viewers up on what each Kardashian family member is doing, including the revelation that patriarch Bruce feels he is taken for granted. The series, which moves to the new timeslot of Sundays at 9p, is produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions and Bunim/Murray Productions. Also on May 20, E! debuts its newest series Mrs. Eastwood & Company at 10p.
CBS News legend Mike Wallace died on Saturday at a care facility in New Canaan, CT at the age of 93. Mr. Wallace considered one of the nation’s best known broadcast journalists and interrogators, became a fixture on CBS’ iconic newsmagazine program 60 Minutes when the show launched on September 24, 1968, co-hosting with Harry Reasoner. Mr. Wallace’s broadcast career began long before 60 Minutes in the 1940s and ’50s, as he appeared on a number of radio and television programs as narrator/announcer, then as reporter, actor and program host. Launched in 1956, the weeknight program Night Beat is the show where Mr. Wallace perfected his hard-boiled interview style. Airing at 11p on the New York affiliate owned by the short-lived DuMont television network, Mr. Wallace previously had recalled the show used ultra close-ups and lighting on its interview subjects and “I was asking tough questions,” he said. “And I had found my bliss.” Night Beat moved to the ABC network in 1957 as a half-hour national program in primetime and was renamed The Mike Wallace Interview. After ABC cancelled the program in 1958, Mr. Wallace later joined CBS News as a special correspondent and soon after began anchoring The CBS Morning News with Mike Wallace. In 1968 he debuted with 60 Minutes which moved to Sunday nights in 1970. Mr. Wallace had the reputation for being a tough investigative reporter and one who would fight his fellow CBS 60 Minutes’ colleagues to gain the story first. By 1977, 60 Minutes started a 23-year run of being rated in the top 10 and Mr. Wallace was considered a key part of the show’s record success. Then in 1982, Mr. Wallace’s own success began a downward spiral when he anchored a CBS Reports documentary titled The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception which led to a $120 million libel suit filed by General William C. Westmoreland, the commander of the American troops in Vietnam from 1964 to 1968. The ordeal resulted in Gen. Westmoreland eventually abandoning the lawsuit midtrial, CBS losing some of its stellar reputation and Mr. Wallace having a nervous breakdown and soon after attempting suicide. Mr. Wallace later spoke openly about his depression and was an advocate of psychiatric and psycho-pharmaceutical treatment. Mr. Wallace officially retired from 60 Minutes in 2006 after being with the program for 38 years though he returned to the program helming an exclusive interview with the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mr. Wallace earned his 21st Emmy Award for that interview. Despite retirement, Mr. Wallace kept working and just weeks prior to his 2008 triple bypass heart surgery, he interviewed baseball star Roger Clemens which was became Mr. Wallace’s last appearance on CBS. During his life, Mr. Wallace was married four times and had two sons, Peter Wallace who died in a mountain-climbing accident in 1962 and his son Chris Wallace, who is a television journalist with Fox News. Mr. Wallace is survived by his fourth wife, Mary Yates; his son, Chris; a stepdaughter; two stepsons; seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
- “It is with tremendous sadness that we mark the passing of Mike Wallace. His extraordinary contribution as a broadcaster is immeasurable and he has been a force within the television industry throughout its existence. His loss will be felt by all of us at CBS,” said Leslie Moonves, president and CEO, CBS Corporation.
CBS will air a special program dedicated to Mr. Wallace on 60 minutes next Sunday, April 15.
