Former ’60 Minutes’ reporter Scott Pelley joins CAA, according to reports.

Scott Pelley Signs with CAA After CBS Departure

Scott Pelley is reportedly stepping into a new chapter of his career, recently signing with the prominent talent agency CAA just weeks after his unexpected dismissal from “60 Minutes.”

The New York Times noted that CAA is representing Pelley “in all areas” and is looking for opportunities following his extensive 37-year tenure at CBS News.

Interestingly, CAA also represents “60 Minutes” correspondent Leslie Stahl. After being contacted by the Post, CAA confirmed the report by the Times.

This development coincides with former “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens, who is also contemplating his future amid the network’s recent upheaval.

In fact, it has been reported that Owens is working on a memoir. Through CAA literary agent Sloane Harris, he has reflected on his long career at CBS News and may offer insights that clash with narratives from other notable figures caught up in the turbulence at the station.

Pelley’s exit marks the culmination of weeks filled with extraordinary chaos at CBS News.

The veteran correspondent was let go after voicing serious concerns to new “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton during a staff meeting. He accused CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of effectively “murdering” the iconic news program and claimed he had been brought in to undermine it.

The following day, Bilton responded by accusing Pelley of “hijacking” the meeting and notifying him that his termination was “for cause.”

Since leaving, Pelley has frequently criticized management for compromising the show’s editorial integrity.

In a farewell message posted after his dismissal, he stated that CBS News executives sought to insert “falsehoods and bias” into their reporting. He also remarked that Paramount’s new ownership seemed aimed at winning favor with the Trump administration while diminishing the stature of “60 Minutes.”

Owens has shared similar sentiments.

In his memoir proposal, he referred to Paramount’s handling of President Trump’s lawsuit concerning his “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris as “the worst legal strategy employed by perhaps the worst-run media company in American history.”

Owens, who resigned last year due to what he described as corporate interference affecting the editorial freedom of “60 Minutes,” has also accused Paramount of operating an internal “spy ring” that regularly leaked scripts and story plans to executives.
