The “Charlie Rose” Show and Other Media Involvements

After a brief stint on the program Personalities, which he left after six weeks, Rose launched his self-titled program “The Charlie Rose Show” on September 30, 1991. The show, broadcast on PBS through WNET (Channel Thirteen), became well-known for its in-depth interviews with a wide range of public figures in politics, arts, science, and business. Rose developed a distinct interview style, characterized by quiet intensity and intellectual curiosity.

In addition to his own show, Rose was a correspondent on 60 Minutes II from January 1999 to September 2005, and became a correspondent for 60 Minutes in 2008. In January 2012, he became a co-anchor of CBS This Morning. He also made a cameo appearance as himself in the 1998 political film Primary Colors. Among his many high-profile interviews, Rose sat down with U.S. President Barack Obama in 2013, further cementing his reputation as a respected broadcast journalist.

In November 2017, following a Washington Post report in which several women accused him of sexual misconduct, CBS News fired Rose and PBS and Bloomberg ended distribution of his show. Rose apologized for his behavior but said he did not believe all of the allegations were accurate. A harassment lawsuit brought by three former employees was settled in November 2024. In April 2022, Rose returned with an online interview series, Charlie Rose Conversations, beginning with an interview with Warren Buffett.

While attending Duke University, Rose met Mary, whom he married in 1968. The couple divorced in 1980. Since then, his longtime partner has been Amanda Burden, a prominent urban planner and former chair of the New York City Planning Commission. Rose currently resides in New York City.

Known for his tall stature and athletic build, Rose underwent mitral valve heart surgery in March 2006. He returned to broadcasting shortly thereafter and discussed the experience openly on-air on June 12, 2006.
