Charlie Rose

Charles Peete Rose Jr. (born January 5, 1942) is a renowned American journalist and talk show host whose career has spanned several decades. He gained prominence as the host and executive producer of the acclaimed PBS and Bloomberg LP talk show "Charlie Rose," which aired from 1991 to 2017. The program was celebrated for its intellectual rigor and featured a diverse array of guests, including writers, politicians, athletes, and scientists, facilitating in-depth discussions on various topics.

In addition to his work on "Charlie Rose," he co-anchored "CBS This Morning" from 2012 to 2017, sharing the screen with Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell, where he engaged with influential figures from various fields. Rose also hosted a revival of the classic CBS program "Person to Person" in 2012, originally initiated by Edward R. Murrow in the 1950s, which showcased personal interviews with celebrities in their homes. He has made guest appearances in popular television series such as "Breaking Bad" and "House of Cards."

However, Rose's career faced a significant setback in November 2017 when he was dismissed from PBS, Bloomberg, and CBS following allegations of sexual misconduct reported by The Washington Post. Rose acknowledged some insensitivity in his behavior but contested the accuracy of many allegations. In November 2024, a settlement was reached in a sexual harassment lawsuit, with plaintiffs recognizing that Rose did not intend harm through his actions.
