by Andy Rooney.
On January 14, 1919, American host and contemporary commentator Andy Rooney was born, former host of the old news program "60 Minutes" by Columbia Radio.
Andy Rooney was born in Albany, New York, on January 14, 1919, his father was a public worker and his mother stayed at home to take care of him. When Andy was 10 years old he suffered a major economic depression, but his father still earned about $18,000 a year and lived a very stable life.
At the age of 15 (1934), he enrolled in the famous Albany Academy and graduated from Coghdad University.
Shortly after college, World War II broke out.
In August 1941, Andy was summoned to military service and joined the U.S. Army.
In August 1942, Andy began his media career, writing and interviewing for the Army's Stars and Stripes, including the battlefields of North Africa, the first U.S. airstrikes against Nazi Germany, the battlefields of North Africa, and the concentration camps, and became acquainted with Walter Cronkett.
Andy Runey, who joined CBS in 1949, has always been known for his rhinestone, "Crazy Four".Al he has always liked to label himself as having a "writer's fan" rather than a TV man, people are still familiar with his whispering, complaining style of speech, "disorderly disorderly" expression and various self-disgusting observational remarks.
For "60 Minutes", the Chinese audience may be more familiar with the interview of former President Jiang Zemin, Mike Wallace, but compared to him, Andy Runey is more bizarre. his sparkle whistle is always empty, mouthless, each time his two flinging eyebrows cheering reveals celebrities, corporate giants, fast food, even people's hairstyles, and so on.
In 1990, Andy Rooney was suspended from the CBS for three weeks for allegedly speech against blacks and homosexuals. In December 1989, after CBS’s “A year with Andy Rooney: 1989” (AYearWithAndy Rooney: 1989), he said that “all people are born with the same intelligence, but the intelligence of blacks is declining with the day, because the more foolish people are with their sons, they start early school, start drug abuse, and then get pregnant.” In February 1990, Andy Rooney said in an interview that “all people are born with the same intelligence, but the intelligence of blacks is declining with the day, because the more foolish people are with their sons, they start early school, start drug abuse, and then get pregnant.” This statement came as a noise of audience, and various criticisms followed.
In 1992, Andy Runey’s column commentary outraged the Indians, saying: “These Indians complain about the names of sports teams such as ‘Redskin’ (North American Indians) is stupid, in fact, the real problem is that we have robbed their country, they want to go back, and we don’t give it. We can only shamefully do as much compensation as possible.
In 1994, Andy Runey began to complain about why a nirvana band member, Kurt Cobain, had committed suicide, and the death of Bean Nixon was worrisome. He said that he had never heard the band's song and had committed suicide at the age of 27, rather than throwing those decades away to those who wanted to live a few more years. A week later, Andy Runey had to publicly apologize, saying he should read more comments and think more about the emotional cloud of despair at the time.
But the “Great Man”’s crazy speech continued to run all the way. In the same year, he began to criticize France for not supporting the war in Iraq. He said that the country of France, playing perfume, clothes is no one to play with him, but to talk about international affairs, absolutely not even the entrance ticket qualification. You see in the Second World War, less than 20 minutes, was struck by Germany as a turtle.
In 2002, the 83-year-old Andy Rooney said in a live broadcast of a football match that the football match television broadcast the matter, women all stand side by side, because they do not understand football at all.
Andy Rooney’s previous remarks have also been summarized into “context”.The following are some of the less “stunning” tales: an ordinary dog is much more kind than an ordinary person; if a dog can talk, it will lose a lot of fun; this country is studying a perfect tomato that can do anything but not eat; the 50-50-90 rule: when you have 50% confidence in things (and, of course, 50% uncertainty), 90% of the circumstances are wrong.
Andy Rooney once recalled that he was grateful that the CBS owner could always allow himself to complain on television about that complaint, but that doesn’t mean that he was the one who could stand right in front of the boss. During the Vietnam War in 1970, when CBS refused to broadcast his program of moral torture over the Vietnam War – A Coming to War (later broadcast on PBS), he chose to leave in anger.
Andy Runey was a battlefield reporter, born in Albany, New York, on January 14, 1919, and his father was engaged in the newspaper industry. After graduating from high school, Andy Runey worked as a copywriter at Knickerbork News, and then studied at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. Although he was less than 1.8 meters tall, he was the left-back of the college.
In 1941, three months before the Pearl Harbor incident, Andy Runey joined the army and became a news reporter for the Star Flag newspaper. In 1945, Andy Runey, along with several colleagues, returned to Germany to report on the U.S. Air Force’s bombing missions against Germany.
In 1949, Andy Runey recommended himself to Red Radio star Arthur Godfrey in the elevator and joined CBS as a writer. Before Goffrey left the radio station in 1953, Andy became his assistant writer. In the 1960s, Andy Runey began writing TV reviews to prove to CBS that he could challenge any subject, and in 1965 he wrote The Doors, followed by The Women, The Bridge, The Chair, and so on.
In 1970, after CBS refused to publish his torture about the Vietnam War, Andy Runey chose to resign. Three years later, he returned to CBS and produced a series of outstanding shows, including Mr. Runey to Washington, and then joined 60 Minutes, opening a short comment board, A Few Minutes with Andy Runey, which has been a hit in the United States.
As for his cynical appearance on the show, Andy Runey said, “I’ve always been here to complain, but I’ve never complained about my life.”
