The CBS Evening News anchor handles his job with authority, charm, and a stash of Swedish Fish
4:15 a.m. Covering news is 24/7/365. Wars, natural disasters, mass shootings—I need to be ready at a moment’s notice. Sometimes I’ll get a middle-of-the-night call from my producer to come into the broadcast center early or, as happened this past year, to get on a plane to California or Texas or Florida.
6:30 a.m. My daughter is 3 and my son is 9, so I typically wake up when a child slaps me in the face or kicks me in the head. My wife takes charge because we all want different things for breakfast— eggs, cereal, oatmeal, waffles—and Nicole gets everyone on the right track. Spending time together as a family at the table is so important.
7:45 a.m. On the commute from my home in Connecticut to my Manhattan office, I’m news gathering. Number one, it’s checking email updates from our CBS correspondents and producers in the field. Then I look at The Associated Press on my phone and read physical copies of papers. I’ve loved print ever since my first job as a paperboy growing up in Buffalo, New York. I scan The Washington Post, Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.
9:30 a.m. Our morning story meeting. But first, more coffee as I watch a playback of CBS This Morning.
