CBS Wants Oprah Winfrey To Replace Charlie Rose On 'CBS This Morning'

“CBS This Morning” reportedly wants Oprah Winfrey to replace former host Charlie Rose who was axed from the organization after multiple women Monday accused the morning show host of sexually harassing them, according to an exclusive New York Post Page Six report.

An un-named source who works for the show reportedly said “CBS This Morning” is “begging Oprah to fill in,” according to the report. The source added, “Not full time… But they are hoping she’ll do one day, two days, one hour, fill in till Christmas. Anything.”

The report said CBS does not have many prominent TV news hosts like their rivals, namely the National Broadcasting Company and American Broadcasting Company.

An insider also reportedly told Page Six, “Unless you get a superstar [on the show], it’s always going to be, ‘Charlie’s missing.’”

On the other hand, Winfrey joined “60 Minutes,” another segment of CBS, in September for the show’s 50th season premiere, said a 60 Minutes Overtime report.

On her first 60 Minutes show, which was named “Divided”, she talked to 14 different people from various communities and discussed about the divisiveness of politics in America.

Winfrey said, “The thing I miss the most is the connection to the audience. … I prided myself on having my finger on the pulse of what people are thinking," according to the report.

Executive producer Jeff Fager said "Divided" will be a series on 60 Minutes, which will consist of Winfrey along with some producers of the show embark on a journey to different cities and towns across the U.S. and talk to people about the political divide in the country.

Fager said, “The plan is to do it at least three times a year. … We'll decide where we want to go, what we want to talk about, but it doesn't feel like it's going away — this sort of divided America — and we want to stay on it.”

After reports of sexual harassment came in against Charlie Rose, co-hosts of the “CBS Morning Show”, Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King addressed the issue on their show Tuesday. King said she is still “reeling” from the news.

“I got an hour and 42 minutes of sleep last night. Both my son and my daughter called me,” she added. “Oprah called me and said, ‘Are you OK?’ I am not OK.”

Charlie Rose, according to a Washington Post report, was accused by eight women of sexual harassment. The report stated the women, who belonged to the age group of 21-37, were either current or aspiring employees of the “Charlie Rose Show” from the late 1990s to 2011. CBS News and the Public Broadcasting Service fired the renowned TV journalist immediately after the allegations were reported.
