On November 20, 2017, eight women who were employees of, or aspired to work for, Rose, accused him of various acts of sexual misconduct including harassment, groping, and making lewd phone calls.

CBS, PBS, and Bloomberg terminated their contracts with him the following day.

Charlie Rose is an American journalist and talk show host. From 1991 to 2017, he was the host and executive producer of the talk show Charlie Rose on PBS and Bloomberg LP.

On April 14, 2022, Rose released an interview with billionaire Warren Buffett, in his first public appearance since 2017 when multiple women accused him of sexual harassment. The interview was uploaded to his own personal website and it is listed as the first in a series called Charlie Rose Conversations.

Rose and his show were parodied in the Wes Anderson film The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) and in the first episode of BoJack Horseman in 2014.

Rose's "break" came in 1974, after Bill Moyers hired him as managing editor for the PBS series Bill Moyers' International Report.

In 2009, Rose encouraged a discussion between the leaders of NBC and Fox News that eventually led to a mutual reduction in ad hominem attacks between Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly on their respective news programs.
