Ladies & Gents....Old Man Swag Is Signing Off For The Last Time

Time - "(NEW YORK) — CBS says commentator Andy Rooney will make his final weekly "60 Minutes" appearance on this Sunday's edition. The 92-year-old Rooney will announce his departure in his regular essay at the end of the program, where he has been featured since 1978.

This, his 1,097th original essay for the program, will be preceded by a segment in which Rooney looks back on his career with "60 Minutes" correspondent Morley Safer, CBS said Tuesday.

Rooney began his run on "60 Minutes" in July 1978 with an essay about the reporting of automobile fatalities on the Independence Day weekend.

He became a regular contributor that fall, delivering sometimes folksy, sometimes cranky commentaries on ordinary life"

Well I guess this is the perfect time for me to finally get this off my chest, this is going to be a shocker to everyone I think. The truth is that 60 minutes & a couple minutes with Andy Rooney is my guilty pleasure on late Sunday nights. If 60mins isn't covering something that really interest me then I just DVR it and skip to the end so I can here Mr Rooney share his 2cents with me. This dude is a legit G, he has to be the most demented but insightful old man on television, well that was on television, it's too bad he never got more time on the show to preach to the world. Always trying to hold the man back in moving up in the business....I feel you your pain Andy, much love.
If you have time this Sunday evening it would be a good idea to try and tune into 60minutes on CBS to see him in action and also to take a look back at his career, I promise you that you won't be bored or disappointed.


P.S. - "Alfy Gordon's mother wouldn't let Alfy have fireworks" what a bitch Alfy's mother was! When was the last time you met a guy with the name Alfy? Never that's why, matter fact I never even thought of the never Alfy if it wasn't for Andy Rooney and his firework story. Guarantee you'll never hear a better firework story than the one you just heard about from, Andy Rooney. True story.
