(Richard Shotwell/Invision via Associated Press)“CBS This Morning” anchor Charlie Rose announced that he will undergo heart surgery Thursday to replace an artificial aortic valve. The 75-year-old newsman first had emergency surgery to replace his aortic valve during a reporting trip overseas. “Almost 15 years ago skilled surgeons replaced my aorta valve with a new replacement valve,” he wrote. “Charlie Rose” made its debut in 1991 and became syndicated nationally in 1993. Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell are Rose’s co-hosts on “CBS This Morning,” which has risen in the ratings to be competitive with the “Today” show and “Good Morning America,” according to the Associated Press.
