Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft has revealed he "hated" working at the show.
The retired journalist, 80, sat down on Bill O'Reilly's "We'll Do It Live!" podcast for the April 2 episode to reflect on his CBS career, which included 30 seasons on "60 Minutes." When O'Reilly asked Kroft if he would work at "60 Minutes" again, he had a surprising answer: "No, I probably wouldn't do it again. I hated it."
The veteran broadcaster cited the exhausting and demanding nature of the job.
"The job is just 24 hours a day," he said. "I mean, you may get a couple of hours of bad sleep. Beepers going off, getting on jets, going here and there, the whole thing, then coming back and spending three or four days writing the script, and then going to the screenings, and then starting it all over again."
