AFTER 52 YEARS PLANTE RETIRES<\/strong> On Wednesday, November 16, 2016, CBS Evening News<\/em> anchor Scott Pelley toasts Bill Plante at a packed Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C. after a remarkable 52-year career. At 78 for CBS, Bill Plante covers five consecutive presidencies and works with nearly a dozen different co-White House correspondents. According to Vanity Fair, Lesley Stahl jokes: He\u2019s outlasted about 300 CBS News presidents<\/em>. Scott Pelley opines: He\u2019s integrity wrapped in talent wrapped in grace<\/em>.<\/p>\n

WHO IS HIGHEST PAID TV HOST?<\/strong> If you guess that Fox News\u2019 Bill O\u2019Reilly heads the earnings list, not so, because Fox News\u2019s longtime #1 host ranks third with a measly $18 million salary. The highest-paid TV News Host is Sean Hannity at $29 million. Number two is Matt Lauer of NBC\u2019s The Today Show<\/em> at a whopping $22 million annually. Shepard Smith is seventh at $10 million a year. The Kelly File<\/em> host Megyn Kelly comes in fifth with between $10 and $12 million annually.<\/p>\n
