WNBC’s Chuck Scarborough Makes Cameo on CBS This Morning

It was only seconds of his voice, but the “rock” of 30 Rock, Chuck Scarborough, was heard on CBS This Morning in their “Eye Opener” segment. It may not have meant much to those in Dubuque, but here the six-second audio clip was odd.

Scarborough’s “moonlighting” moment involved a snippet about the General Petraeus sex scandal from last night’s WNBC newscast.

Just before Scarborough’s voice was heard, WCBS’ Maurice DuBois described the Texas college shooting.

CBS also accesses clips from other stations and networks, including Fox News.

Tina Brown, Newsweek/Daily Beast Editor-in-Chief, Talks About Going Digital

Tina Brown, the Newsweek/Daily Beast editor-in-chief, discussed the decision this morning on CBS This Morning to move her publication from print to digital.

As we reported yesterday, after 80 years of buying Newsweek at the newsstand or by home delivery, the company is dropping the print version as of December 31.

Brown told Charlie Rose this morning that the mobile app is no longer the future.

“We really do feel that we’ve reached a tipping point in this industry,” Brown said. “That you’re seeing now – there are 17 million tablets now in the U.S., iPad Minis coming out with 10 million ordered.”

Rose asked her if this dramatic move was expected at the beginning of Brown’s tenure at Newsweek/Daily Beast.

“Two years ago this wouldn’t have been the absolutely inevitable outcome this fast. But the fact is that The Daily Beast is enormously successful… We have had a 70 percent increase in traffic and we’re part of Barry Diller’s international company, which is 21 digital companies under one roof, so there was always a feeling and a knowledge inside us that eventually we would go to be a digital company.”

More from the CBS interview after the jump.

Oprah Bothered by USA Today Headline

Oprah stopped by the “CBS This Morning” set this morning, and during the wide-ranging talk, Oprah said that she is not typically bothered by what is written about her, but a recent USA Today headline did get under her skin.

“I learned this [lesson] from doing ‘The Color Purple’ with Steven Spielberg,” explained Oprah. “At the time he was on the cover of Time magazine. And he said ‘I’m not going to read it.’ And I was like, ‘How could you not read it?’ And he said, ‘Because if you believe all the good stuff, then you have to believe when people write things that are unflattering.’ …But last week I saw one headline that really knocked me off center. It was a USA Today headline that said, ‘Oprah Not Quite Standing on Her Own,’ and I just kind of went, ‘Ohhh..’”

We’re not sure which part of that is more surprising: That Oprah was annoyed by such a tame headline, or that she reads USA Today.
