Bari Weiss's Chosen One Falls Flat The recent two week vacation of Tony Dokoupil, CBS News' Editor in Chief Bari Weiss's handpicked star anchor, has provided a curious twist in an otherwise tumultuous tenure.
During his absence, the show saw its best ratings in months – 4. 1 million viewers tuned in to Matt Gutman's hosting duties.
CBS Evening News has struggled to consistently hit 4 million viewers since Weiss took the reins, with Dokoupil himself only managing that number once before.
