A longtime 60 Minutes producer who has been with CBS News for more than four decades has resigned amid upheaval at the storied newsmagazine.

Michael Gavshon will stay on until the end of June, he wrote in a memo to colleagues, the New York Post https://nypost.com/2026/06/12/media/60-minutes-producer-michael-gavshon-who-worked-with-anderson-cooper-quits-cbs/" rel="" target="_blank" title="https://nypost.com/2026/06/12/media/60-minutes-producer-michael-gavshon-who-worked-with-anderson-cooper-quits-cbs/">reported.
