Charlie Rose has returned to conduct his first interview since being fired over a #MeToo scandal.
The former CBS broadcast journalist posted an interview with businessman and investor Warren Buffett on Thursday to his website.
“I’m proud to share this recent conversation with Warren Buffett,” Rose said on his website, where he has also archived several of his past interviews. “It is his first interview on camera in almost a year and the first I’ve done in more than four years. It is a step in a journey to engage the most interesting people and explore the most compelling ideas in the world.”
Rose’s interview with the 91-year-old business magnate lasted for an hour and 14 minutes and touched on Buffett’s investments, values, and heir apparent. During the exchange, Buffett claimed electric car company Tesla has more “market value” than all other auto companies based on an “idea.”

Rose, 80, did not mention any sexual misconduct allegations during his interview.
Eight women came forward with allegations in November 2017, according to a Washington Post report. Several women alleged that Rose made vulgar phone calls, walked naked in front of them, or groped them.
“In my 45 years in journalism, I have prided myself on being an advocate for the careers of the women with whom I have worked,” Rose said in a statement at the time. “Nevertheless, in the past few days, claims have been made about my behavior toward some former female colleagues.”
“It is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior,” he added. “I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken.”
PBS and CBS fired Rose, while Bloomberg TV terminated a rebroadcast agreement.

Twenty-seven additional women came forward with additional allegations against Rose in 2018, bringing the total number of accusers to speak out to 35, and a wave of litigation ensued.
