Bari Weiss Takes Helm at 60 Minutes, Major Changes Ahead

0:00It's April 1st. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Cory with the story. Bari Weiss is set to shake up 60 minutes right after the current season wraps in May. As the new CBS News Boss, she's pushing for major changes during the summer break, and Insider Say could transform one of TV's biggest news shows. Executives talked her out of mid-season moves earlier this year, but now the pause is over. She's taken a super-hands-on-roll, stepping into decisions usually left to the executive producer. Staff inside the news room are an edge, with no clue what's coming next. That uncertainty is hanging heavy as the finale approaches. Word is, Nora O'Donnell gets a bigger spot after Anderson Cooper bowed out after almost 20 years. Sharon Alfonso's contract ends this season, and might not renew, while Scott Pellie standing looks solid lately. Despite younger faces and folks matching her vision, maybe even from her free press circle. With 60 minutes still ruling the ratings, these shifts carry big risks.

1:03Some of her other CBS tweaks have dipped in viewership, so the pressure's on if. It flops.
