This image released by CBS News shows '60 Minutes' correspondent Lesley Stahl on the set. It’s not the first time that’s been said about “60 Minutes” since its 1968 debut. After executive producer Bill Owens turned the show primarily over to coronavirus coverage last spring, “60 Minutes” has returned to its traditional format while being focused on being timely. “60 Minutes” this fall has featured interviews with fired government cybersecurity chief Chris Krebs, former President Barack Obama and poisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Original executive producer Don Hewitt often ran “60 Minutes” as an island unto itself.
