Anderson Cooper to contribute to 60 Minutes

Guess CBS is going through a "youth" movement. According to the New York Post (and, no, this didn't come from Page Six) Anderson Cooper will contribute stories to 60 Minutes. He won't be a full-time correspondent; his deal will allow him to stay on his CNN show, Anderson Cooper 360, where his occasional 60 Minutes reports will re-air. The deal is being worked on as we speak, with both sides staying mum on the negotiations.

So... with the 39-year-old Cooper coming on board, 49-year-old Katie Couric contributing to the show, and the retirement of the 88-year-old Mike Wallace, the average age of the 60 Minutes crew is now a sprightly 112.
