Courtesy of CBS Entertainment Correspondents at “60 Minutes” in past years have tried to win an interesting challenge: Could they leave the show for a summer vacation with one story already in the can?
Doing so now is no longer a game.
In the wake of a massive ouster of the top staff of the venerable newsmagazine, serious questions have been raised about whether CBS News will be able to launch the 59th season of “60 Minutes” on time in the fall. Getting the show off to a good start in mid-to-late September is crucial because the program uses the network’s Sunday-afternoon football games as massive generator of audience. “60 Minutes” has for years been the nation’s most-watched news program.
