CBS Denies Joe Rogan Joining '60 Minutes' Amid Major Shake-Up at the Newsmagazine

A rumor circulating online this week suggested that podcaster Joe Rogan was in talks to join CBS' long-running newsmagazine '60 Minutes,' but the network has swiftly shut down the speculation.

A representative for the program told Forbes the claim is "false," and Rogan himself has not addressed the speculation.

The timing of the rumor comes as '60 Minutes' navigates a period of significant restructuring. The program has seen notable departures, including the firing of correspondent Scott Pelley, who had been a fixture on the show.

Nick Bilton recently stepped into the role of executive producer, and it remains to be seen whether additional changes lie ahead for the newsmagazine.

The shake-up at '60 Minutes' is part of a broader series of moves at CBS, which has also canceled three television programs in recent weeks.
