Televisionation—Friday Fireside: Steve Hewitt on “60 Minutes,” Journalism at CBS, and More

April 1, 2026

The Friday Fireside welcomes industry veteran, Steve Hewitt, son of the Don Hewitt, creator of “60 Minutes” on CBS. Steve digs into some of his father’s time at CBS News, including his thoughts on what Don Hewitt would think of the current state of journalism at CBS. And then we have a great time talking about Steve’s time at Teleprompter, HBO, CBS and Showtime (where we worked together), and his current musical career. Rather appropriately, this show runs about 60 minutes—Steve has a lot to talk about!
