Anderson Cooper exits ’60 Minutes’ as correspondent

Anderson Cooper is leaving “60 Minutes” after nearly two decades on the long-running CBS News program. 

Cooper, who is a primetime anchor on CNN, will reportedly keep all of his focus on the full-time cable gig going forward. Cooper joined “60 Minutes” as a rotating correspondent in 2007.

The exit was first reported by Breaker Media. 

CBS News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital‘s request for comment. 

This is a developing story.
