From ground-breaking exposes to intimate interviews with intriguing personalities in politics, the arts and international movements, 60 Minutes has, since it began in 1968, clarified and shaped some of the most important moments in America's last five decades. As executive producer of the show, Jeff Fager is uniquely positioned to bring to light the inside story on how this extraordinary show is produced. Join him for a compelling introduction to his just published narrative, 50 Years of 60 Minutes.

Jeff Fager is in his 14th season as the executive producer of 60 MINUTES, America’s most-watched and honored news program.  The former 60 MINUTES producer was chosen to lead the broadcast in 2004 and promptly refocused it on more timely and relevant stories as he guided it into the digital age.  He was tasked in 2011 to continue that mission on a broader scale as the News division’s first chairman, where he successfully revitalized its news platforms, including the remarkable turnaround of CBS THIS MORNING.
