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.
