After CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss said she and her team would put a “huge emphasis on scoops,” CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil responded by… interviewing his own mother.

On Tuesday’s (January 27) show, Dokoupil detailed a study that found that grandparents who care for their grandchildren score better on tests of memory and language and decline more slowly than those who do not. To discuss this further, Dokoupil turned to his guest, his mom, Gail.

“I find that they give me a sense of purpose. They energize me more than drive me down,” Gail said of her grandchildren.

Dokoupil, who took over the CBS Evening News earlier this month, has four children: two with his current wife, MS NOW anchor Katy Tur, and two with his ex-wife, Danielle Haas.
