CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is reportedly planning a significant overhaul of 60 Minutes, which could include the removal of executive producer Tanya Simon. If Simon is removed, Weiss is expected to face a revolt from the show's staff. The future of Simon and other 60 Minutes employees remains uncertain. Weiss, who took over as CBS News editor in October, is also reportedly planning to revamp 60 Minutes after the current season ends in May.
