CBS reportedly pursuing Joe Rogan for 60 Minutes segments
CBS is pursuing Joe Rogan to appear on 60 Minutes, with network bosses betting the podcast powerhouse will strengthen the show's sagging ratings. Rogan, WHO hosts The Joe Rogan Experience and works as a UFC commentator, recently called the White House's outdoor UFC exhibition "odd" while questioning whether championship fighters should compete on the South Lawn. Pairing Rogan's unscripted, conversational style with 60 Minutes' investigative format could draw younger viewers but risks altering the program's editorial tone, making this a strategic gamble as CBS tries to reverse audience declines.
Joe Rogan on 60 Minutes is fucking genius. Instantly kill both shows. Wait is that not the goal
Ian Boudreau140The concept of a follower count may prove to have been the fatal wound. Like do we just not have the ability to evaluate things on a qualitative basis anymore
En Buen Ora14The new guy said his goal was not to restrict 60 minutes to Sunday night, but have 60 minutes everywhere, all the time. It's going to end up just being a 30 second blip on every douchebag bro podcast.

Mary and the moon2The kiddies aren’t going to watch 60 minutes… even if the podcast bros are on it. Weiss is so, so stupid…
John Vaillant2Textbook enshittification: degrade it all into meaninglessness . . .
Amy Lu 📚🫖☕️2I can’t figure out why Joe would do it? He gets millions of dollars to do his podcast. Why would he take a job at cbs? Is he so delusional that he thinks it’s a positive move for him?
📌It's both incredible how unqualified Bari Weiss is to head ANY journalistic enterprise, and how qualified she is to hire a loudmouth, worm-eater like Joe Rogan to do pretend journalism at CBS ...
Teri Cloth 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🦋 🫘13She was not hired for her expertise. She was hired to be the fall guy for the Ellisons.She's achieving exactly what they wanted her to do, destroy their programs that are critic of the current administration; Colbert, 60 Minutes are gone and next Sunday Morning News will be white washed or ended.

From a great journalist like Walter Cronkite to a buffoon like Joe Rogan, the CBS network has gone down the toilet.
🇨🇦BR7Walter Cronkite would’ve had a lot to say about CBS’s decline. I don’t understand why everyone is scared of a guy who can hardly put two coherent sentences together. 🤔

BreeDanielsWins2Was just looking at an aerial photo of the UFC stage set-up on the White House lawn & referenced the Fall of Western Civilization. That it was here, officially. Rogan on 60 Minutes. Nail in the coffin. Watched the show since its inception when it was revered. Feel sorry for Cronkite, Reasoner.
F.A. Montgomery2That was the plan. Weiss will be the scapegoat when CBS shutters the entire news department over incompetence and bad ratings.
If CBS gives Joe Rogan the Andy Rooney slot on 60 Minutes, it would actually revive the grand tradition of ending the show with a not-even-remotely funny segment.

JeffCO2Say what you will about him, Andy Rooney had more journalistic integrity in one eyebrow than the Bari crew has... well in any appendage.
joe rogan will not save 60 minutes. that's absolutely insane from cbs. the target audience for 60 minutes is not joe rogan's audience.
Visions of Hope7Seriously, what the fuck is going on?
Lilith4Apparently the target audience for 60 minutes has changed to one that doesn't even watch tv.

You would think that television network executives would know this, but, not CBS executives...
nostikvvvibes.bsky.social3How much content can he even make if he cant talk about weed and dmt? The obvious joke answer is 60 minutes but realistically its far far less.
Valerian Raithewall, Blue Mage Fan3Also pretty sure Joe Rogan's audience would not watch 60 minutes even if he was on it
ToWhom ItMayConcern3The previous target audience was not Rogan's audience. The audience they now want IS Rogan's audience. And good luck with that. Long-time viewers are not going to trade the legacy of Mike Wallace for Joe Rogan shenanigans. And the pod-boys aren't going to watch anything for an hour. #Idiocracy
Kris Overstreet2Joe Rogan isn't expected to save 60 Minutes. He's expected to complete its destruction.
Ceridwen 🇨🇦🍁🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (they/them)2I suggest to you that the dumbdown of the USA mind share has made them the same target audience.
