Charlie Rose (TV show)

Charlie Rose is an American television interview show, with Charlie Rose as executive producer, executive editor, and host. The show is syndicated on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and is owned by Charlie Rose, LLC. Rose interviews thinkers, writers, politicians, athletes, entertainers, businesspersons, leaders, scientists, and other newsmakers.

The show premiered on September 30, 1991. It is presented by WNET, where it first aired as a local program.

Funding for the show is primarily provided by donations from various corporations and charitable foundations. The show has been criticized for not disclosing the list of donors even if the show is considered "public" broadcasting.

The show continued on some other PBS stations beginning in December 1992.

In 2007, the video archive of past interviews has been added to the website for free viewing. In a partnership with Google, nearly 4000 hours of video has also been added to YouTube featuring complete hour-long episodes as they originally aired.
