Anderson Cooper is leaving CBS' '60 Minutes' after nearly 20 years to spend more time with his young children. He has contributed stories to '60 Minutes' since the 2006-2007 television season while also hosting the prime-time CNN program 'Anderson Cooper 360' since 2003. Cooper is expected to finish the current '60 Minutes' season, which concludes in May. CBS expressed gratitude for his two decades of work and said the program would welcome a return.
