Andy Rooney Will Say Goodbye to '60 Minutes'

But we may not have seen the last of him

Longtime 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney will end his regular run on the program this Sunday, CBS News said today. The 92-year-old first joined CBS News in 1949 and has appeared on 60 Minutes since 1978, during which time he’s provided more than a thousand end-of-show essays (this Sunday will mark his 1,097th).

This Sunday’s broadcast will feature a Rooney retrospective followed by his usual weekly segment when he will announce the conclusion of his regular appearances on the program.
