Charlie Rose is anchor and executive editor of several televised programs. For more than two decades, he has hosted “Charlie Rose,” a nightly interview show distributed nationally by PBS, which since 2013 has also distributed “Charlie Rose: The Week.” He has co-hosted “CBS This Morning” since 2012, and is a contributing correspondent to the network’s “60 Minutes” news magazine.

He is the recipient of the Légion d’honneur, numerous awards from the scientific and journalism communities, including four Emmys, and many honorary degrees.
Lesley Stahl is commencing her 25th season as a correspondent for CBS’s “60 Minutes,” where her work has included political scoops and insightful foreign reporting, while garnering 11 Emmy awards. Stahl joined CBS News in the Washington bureau in 1972, in the midst of the Watergate coverage, going on to serve as White House correspondent, the first woman to hold that job. She was a moderator of CBS’s “Face the Nation,” interviewing such newsmakers as George H. W. Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Boris Yeltsin and Yasir Arafat. She is the author of a memoir, Reporting Live. Stahl has won numerous awards, including RTDNA’s 2015 Paul White award for lifetime achievement.
