Today’s episode of 60 Minutes will be Andy Rooney’s last regular appearance. CBS News:
Andy Rooney will announce on this Sunday’s “60 Minutes” that it will be his last regular appearance on the broadcast. Rooney, 92, has been featured on “60 Minutes” since 1978.
He will make the announcement in his regular essay at the end of the program, his 1097th original essay for “60 Minutes”. It will be preceded by a segment in which Rooney looks back on his career in an interview with Morley Safer.
…
Rooney began his run on “60 Minutes” in July 1978 with an essay about the reporting of automobile fatalities on the Independence Day weekend. He became a regular feature that fall, alternating weeks with the dueling James J. Kilpatrick and Shana Alexander before getting the end slot all to himself in the fall of 1979. In Rooney’s first full season as the “60 Minutes” commentator, the broadcast was the number one program for the first time.
As a tribute to the world’s greatest living commentator, we here at Nullary Sources would like to share with you some of our favorite Andy Rooney moments. Here he is rambling in his inimitable style about typewriters and computer usability.
