Meredith Vieira, NBC News special correspondent and host/exec producer of upcoming syndicated talker The Meredith Vieira Show, has been named cohost of next month’s 23rd annual Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame ceremony. Vieira will join cohost Lesley Stahl, correspondent for CBS News and 60 Minutes. The event is set for Oct. 28 at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria.
Vieira, who has won 14 Emmys, recently launched the YouTube Channel LIVES With Meredith Vieira. She was a cohost of ABC’s The View and NBC’s Today, and a 60 Minutes correspondent. She recently wrapped her 11th season as host of the syndicated game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Vieira also founded an eponymous production company that has backed film, TV and theatre projects, including the Cannes Film Festival selection Return, Emmy-nominated documentary The Woman Who Wasn’t There and the national tour of off-Broadway hit Life in a Marital Institution.
Stahl has been a 60 Minutes correspondent since 1991, landing a range of newsmaking interviews during her tenure. She had the first interview with an underground member of Pussy Riot, the all-female Russian punk band jailed for its public performances that criticized Russian president Vladimir Putin. She also had exclusive reports on trouble with the military’s F-22 Raptor planes and the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation techniques.”
60 Minutes was inducted into B&C’s Hall of Fame in 2008.
Stahl was the CBS White House correspondent during the Carter, Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations.
