Since 2011, he has been one of the major substitutes for Scott Pelley. What’s more, Bob Schieffer is one of the few journalists to cover all four of the major Washington national assignments: the White House, the Pentagon, United States Department of State, and United States Congress. Thus, his career with CBS has closely entangled and almost exclusively devoted to national politics. To date, Schieffer has won six Emmys and was named Broadcaster of the Year in 2002 by the National Press Foundation. He also penned four books, including Face the Nation: My Favorite Stories from the First 50 Years of the Award-Winning News Broadcast (2004) and Bob Schieffer’s America (2008). When it comes to his private life, Schieffer is married to Patricia Penrose Bishop, with whom he has two daughters.
