\n

Jimmy Fallon<\/a> made sport of the turnover at \u201c60 Minutes<\/a>\u201d on Thursday by introducing its new correspondents \u2015 or at least the ones on his comedic wish list. (Watch the video below.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWell, the big story this week is that CBS fired Scott Pelley after he clashed with his new boss at \u201860 Minutes,\u2019\u201d the \u201cTonight Show\u201d host said. \u201cYeah, it really seems like CBS is trying to appeal to Trump. I mean, check out the new \u201860 Minutes\u2019 correspondents.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The bit continues with the news show\u2019s iconic ticking stopwatch and some remaining regulars introducing themselves. \u201cI\u2019m Lesley Stahl. I\u2019m Bill Whitaker. I\u2019m Nicki Minaj.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wait, what? It gets weirder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Grimace and Vladimir Putin as new correspondents sounds funny, but real life might have trumped that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pelley was shown the door<\/a> this week after he criticized new \u201c60 Minutes\u201d executive producer Nick Bilton and CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who\u2019s apparently been tasked with turning the news division toward the right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega were also let go<\/a> recently following Anderson Cooper<\/a>\u2019s departure earlier in May. Present and current staffers on \u201c60 Minutes\u201d have cautioned higher-ups against restricting the show\u2019s journalistic independence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
