"60 Minutes" new season...Trump fangirl Bari Weiss prepares to stick her tongue in a light socket & hope for the best. [View all]
A cloud of dread has descended upon CBS News as controversial editor-in-chief Bari Weiss prepares to overhaul "60 Minutes" when the show returns next season — with network insiders warning changes are coming that will upend the venerable Sunday night institution.
According to the Guardian, the current season concludes on Sunday, after which the iconoclastic Weiss is expected to impose her ideological imprint on a program that has operated with editorial autonomy for decades.
The 59th season will be the first fully under Weiss' purview following Skydance Media's acquisition of CBS parent Paramount Global in August 2025. Amid persistent rumors that next season will look dramatically different, network insiders are bracing for significant disruption.
Speaking with the Guardian, one longtime network insider warned of "massive changes" after the current season ends, though the network reportedly has no plans to completely overhaul the format or abandon the show's award-winning investigative mission. However, layoffs are widely anticipated.
