    Answer: 60 MINUTES
    Solution: Five hosts of the long-running CBS newsmagazine 60 MINUTES are found clockwise in the grid, starting from high noon: the recent VEGA, RATHER, SAWYER, STAHL, and the original WALLACE; this suggests the meta answer.
    • oldjudge 4s · 2023-07-01T17:04:45.337Z
      Timely puzzle!
      • I K Snamhcok 🤓10:20 · 2023-07-01T17:20:33.873Z
        A very nice way to while away the wait here at the barber shop. Thanks, Mikey!
        • Bbaack 17:47 · 2023-07-01T17:42:06.245Z
          This took some circular reasoning to solve! Clever construction, thanks!
          • Mikey G constructor · 2023-07-01T18:07:30.031Z
            Hahaha, nice. I wonder how many Level 1 constructions take longer to solve. This was at least a Level 3 to make!!
          • SJMcK 13:01 · 2023-07-01T17:44:05.276Z
            Took me rather less than an hour to solve
            • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2023-07-01T17:41:43.108Z
              Fun!
              • Gutman 🤓13:08 · 2023-07-01T17:49:33.288Z
                Did not take that long. Thanks Mikey.
                • Dow Jones 3s · 2023-07-01T17:56:09.908Z
                  Guessed correctly. Now to find the metanism !! Thanks, Mikey !!
                  • KayW 🤓6:18 · 2023-07-01T18:17:39.478Z
                    Fun one! LOL I must admit I need to go back and find all 5 hosts. I had a hunch based on the title, puzzle number, and prompt and as soon as I saw STAHL I submitted. Thanks Mikey!
                    • kurtalert 🤓5:53 · 2023-07-01T17:56:27.160Z
                      Very nice!!!
                      • Mikey G constructor · 2023-07-01T18:09:42.242Z
                        One of my favorite "60 Minutes" clips containing one of my favorite math textbook authors, the late John Saxon (sorry about the print!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T6SEqcvBLc
                        I learned mathematics using the Saxon method in the 1990s. That, and my mother's encouragement of my muscular curiosity, are the two main reasons I love mathematics to this day.
                        • KayW 🤓6:18 · 2023-07-02T00:07:53.004Z
                          Very interesting! I'd never heard of him or his method, but of course this is WAY after my time. Wikipedia says the method is still popular today in private schools and with homeschoolers but not public school systems.
                        • hoover 2s · 2023-07-01T18:32:55.354Z
                          How you folks even make these things is a mystery!
                          • Capn Rick 🤓6:29 · 2023-07-01T19:04:24.040Z
                            Ditto Dow Jones with an educated guess. Wanted to move up on that leaderboard!
                            • ReB 4s · 2023-07-01T20:04:36.984Z
                              Enjoyable fare for a holiday weekend.
                              • Joe 🤓8:28 · 2023-07-01T21:44:57.293Z
                                Childhood memories. Watching with Dad. Being annoyed that I had to watch a "news" show, but always being fascinated (mid 1970s).
                                • Bird Lives 6s · 2023-07-01T22:48:54.874Z
                                  I was hoping for Jane you ignorant slut.. Those were the days.
                                  For a long time, and maybe still, it was the TV show without a theme song, unless you consider tick-tick-tick a song.
                                  • woozy 🤓16:49 · 2023-07-02T06:11:18.105Z
                                    Would have been great to have worked tat in!
                                  • benchen71 12s · 2023-07-01T23:05:10.222Z
                                    That was much harder for me as an Aussie. I guessed the answer based on the shape of the grid!
                                    • HeadinHome 🤓17:23 · 2023-07-02T02:47:41.946Z
                                      Embarrassed to say I did not even see the names on the outer ring, but guessed from “long running” and the shape of the CBS eye. The whiny-est opener, of course, was Andy Rooney… drove me nuts.
                                      • HeadinHome 🤓17:23 · 2023-07-02T02:49:52.581Z
                                        That should say “whiny-est oPINer”
                                        • Darth 🤓17:19 · 2023-07-02T03:04:10.536Z
                                          Interesting grid. Thanks for your time, Mikey!
                                          • Tyrpmom 3s · 2023-07-02T04:37:05.986Z
                                            Nice one.
                                            • merlinnimue 🤓11:55 · 2023-07-02T05:27:59.300Z
                                              dumdum here definitely struggled with the crossword, so i got worried and started to feel the clock ticking... i'm just glad it didn't take me the full length of the episode!
                                              • kymike 2s · 2023-07-02T17:12:39.637Z
                                                I'd Rather do nothing else on a Sunday morning than a fun meta. It helps me Stahl for time before other tasks need to be done.
                                                Well done making this work, and for puzzle #60 nonetheless.
                                                • Mikey G constructor · 2023-07-04T00:52:37.844Z
                                                  Oh, very nice one, haha. Yeah, it's been fun trying to connect some of these to the numbers!

                                                  Took a flyer as a WAG, then did the time to get the aha. Tough Grid.

                                                    My guess based on nothing but "long-running TV show" and "hosts" was SNL, but I should have known from the title :-)
                                                    • Carolyn 3s · 2023-07-04T04:42:08.064Z
                                                      Figured what it had to be, then found the hosts. Very clever!

                                                          Was off on so many trails until I thought, "wait a minute, who made this puzzle?" then I knew just what to do. BUT did you know that: IRA GLASS, LARISSA LAM, and GUY RAZ (Tinkerbelle host) of course all have a "media host" tie in and LISA cLING does also. I had assumed from the meta hint and center entry that 60 MINUTES would be the show, I just had to find out why. Fun TIME!
