(CNN) -- Mike Wallace, who spent four decades as a hard-hitting,
provocative news correspondent on "60 Minutes," has died, CBS reported
Sunday. He was 93.
.
Wallace died Saturday night "peacefully surrounded by family members at
Waveny Care Center in New Caanan, Connecticut, where he spent the past few
years," CBS said in a statement.
.
"For half a century, he took on corrupt politicians, scam artists and
bureaucratic bumblers," CBS News said on its website. "... Wallace took to
heart the old reporter's pledge to comfort the afflicted and afflict the
comfortable. He characterized himself as 'nosy and insistent.'"
.
"It is with tremendous sadness that we mark the passing of Mike Wallace,"
said Leslie Moonves, president and CEO of CBS Corporation. "His
extraordinary contribution as a broadcaster is immeasurable and he has
been a force within the television industry throughout its existence. His
loss will be felt by all of us at CBS."
.
"Mike was an unbelievable journalist," said Scott Bronstein, CNN senior
investigative producer, who worked with Wallace as a "60 Minutes" staff
producer during the late 1990s. "He was inspiring. He made you want to do
your best work. He always demanded you to report more and more. He was
such a marvel, the way he could do an interview."
.
Wallace in recent years had suffered from dementia, said Larry King,
longtime host of CNN's "Larry King Live."
.
"They didn't come any better," King said. "He was a glorious human being,
a wonderful raconteur, a great journalist, a great host, an interviewer
with his own style ... Mike Wallace was a guy, when he's on, you can't hit
the clicker."
.
Wallace was already a veteran of the "CBS Morning News with Mike Wallace"
and had covered most of the 1960s' major news stories, including several
assignments to Vietnam, when he was hired as a correspondent for the new
television show "60 Minutes."
.
The show debuted in September 1968. During Wallace's four-decade career on
"60 Minutes," he "sealed his reputation as a hard-charging,
no-holds-barred interviewer," according to the Knight-Wallace Foundation
at the University of Michigan, of which Wallace was a supporter.
.
"His most memorable moments at '60 Minutes' have often been news-making
events in their own rights."
