. >> there was a map up behind him, almost like the old walter cronkite map, i wonder given this hasast, he didn't lead with anthony weiner like others did last monday, whether you see this as a throwback as a broadcast from the cronkite era. >> well, whether it's back all the way to walter cronkite in the '60s or not, it came across as old school. personally i admire this professional, efficient, fast id yus, flawless approach to delivering the news. however, i don't think many people are looking for news on tv that lacks personality to the degree that the cbs news lacked it in scott pelley's first week. i don't really know what you do, though, to sort of elevate your personality if you're anchoring the cbs news cast. it's a very challenging thing to do to sort of break out of a mold in order to break out of -- >> it is difficult indeed. now, the same day we got the announcement from katie couric she's signed with abc. she'll get the big syndicated daytime show that will launch next year. she'll also have a role on abc news. >> it will interesting to see what she does on abc news. t

if he said no, it was going to be me and walter cronkite. tavis: why peter falk? >> i don't know. >> tell him the story. >> i'm telling the story. >> then i can tell you my story. >> do you to yell at me on national television? is that necessary? my dad is a little cranky. i grew up. i loved peter falk. i just always zeroed in on him. something about him sounded like my family. a couple years ago i was back visiting my parents and my dad had a peter falk movie on television and he was laughing. i said i have never seen him laughing at anybody the way he laughs at peter falk. >> that is the nicest way i ever got a job. i never got a job with wr the writer had a fond memory of watching his father watching me on television and his father laughing and that's why i got hired. that's a nice way to get a job. tavis: that's a great story. peter falk reminds you of your dad in a way? >> there is something about him . tavis: your dad doesn't walk around in a trench coat and "and another thing." >> no. that's why we're not having dinner with joey bishop. peter is the guy. st

>> i don't think walter cronkite showed up. but we had a great cast.ere the emotional glue in all of this, because there was this intense clash of metal, incredible story that continues, but your character, sam wiki, he's just finished college, and can't get a job. but he can get a smashing girlfriend. >> how about that? >> oh, my gosh, lucky, lucky shia. you want to tell us about her? >> she is incredible. rosy is a tough spot to jump into, and she was poised and like a cheerleader for us. she is beautiful, and also really smart and good at her gig and really good in the movie. >> you must have been very happy when you saw her cast, i would guess, as a guy, a young man -- >> sure, yeah, for all those reasons, of course. >> of course, for all those reasons. and i saw the movie and she did a good job. is this her first acting gig? >> first ever. >> we saw megan fox. and with all of the stuff aside about why that was, did you miss her? >> yeah, she was a friend of mine. i love megan. and we spent four years together and these are hard-fought movie to say

>> they used to be because walter cronkite would say "and that's the way it is." and many would say maybe it isn't. that's the view of three big companies -- a monopoly on news and presenting the world, at least on the broadcast media. obviously that's no longer the case. but their bias has been obvious and persistent over the years. there's a certain -- people always ask when i travel, why is it that the media is so liberal? it's a preoccupation of so many people. part of it is when an institution -- it's an institutional culture and it gets passed on just like a family passes on religion to its children. somebody new that comes into work at cbs might not have a particular political view but absorb what is around them and scorn what colleagues scorn and appreciate what their colleagues appreciate. that's human nature. brian lamb: what do you say to someone watching saying i'm not going to listen to this again, i have heard this story from the conservatives, they're using this issue for political purposes? >> what issue? brian lamb: bias in the media. your book is

i really do think well, but compared to before when we had to trust walter cronkite and tom brokaw and other white guys to tell us what the news is, but now we can see what the news is. if we choose to let people do that for us, it's our fault, but we have more options now and the tools are in our hands. >> we have to build the tools or trust twitter, facebook, and google to transmit what's actually happening. >> right. another question. >> hi. i was thinking when the both of you were talking about learning programming in school, and for what it's worth, i'm in my 20s and learned basic in 7th grade. i thought about this one level of extraction and thinking about school and just the way you go from year to year at a very industrial age sort of mechanism, and i was wondering if you were aware of different things like, i think you called it see, click, fix, things like that in the marketplace that are thinking about how to address education in a more digital way, the thinking being that hopefully if education evolves a level, maybe our political discourse will evolve a level as well. >> w

my newsman was walter cronkite. can you believe that?>> now here is your host dick van dyke. >> reporter: he went on to host game shows. >> this is our first category. it's one of our favorite ones on the show. we have a lot of fun with it. it's called out in the kitchen. >> i was the worst game show host that ever lived and i knew it. so every day when the show was over, i would go out and audition at some theater. >> reporter: one of those auditions was for the director of a new show. >> when i auditioned for bye-bye birdie on broadway, the director said you have the job. he said we'll teach you what you need to know. >> reporter: they sure did. bye-bye birdie was a smash, later made into a film. ♪ why so look so tragic ♪ put on a happy face i discovered during that it was like flying. i thought where has this been all my life? >> reporter: but the biggest life changer was still to come. >> the dick van dyke show. starring dick van dyke. >> reporter: 1960-61 carl reiner himself a great comedian decided to develop a television show for
