In December, Bari Weiss met Tony Dokoupil for dinner on Manhattan’s Upper West Side with a proposal: She wanted to make him the face of CBS News.
During her search for a new “Evening News” anchor, Weiss had named Anderson Cooper and Bret Baier, both under contract with other networks, as potential contenders. Now, at a table inside an upscale Italian restaurant, CBS News President Tom Cibrowski, the show’s executive producer Kim Harvey and Weiss presented their vision for Dokoupil.
“I think we all left that dinner feeling really confident that we had chosen the right person,” Weiss said in an interview.
