CBS said the state 92-year-old writer was stable and, at the request of his family, offered no other information about his medical problems, or where he was hospitalized.
Three-time Emmy winner has been a constant presence at the most popular magazine TV. Since 1978, "a few minutes with Andy Rooney" turned the program on Sunday evening, often with a look at the absurdities of life and language.
Rooney could talk about what was in the news, or what was in his closet. One of his winning an Emmy was for an essay on whether there is a real cake for Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Smith.
October 2, 1097, he made a second and final essay, saying that there was a moment he feared.
"I would do it all. I cannot, though," he said.
True to his often cantankerous character, Rooney said that he hated recognized on the street. So if you see it in a restaurant, he said, as he signed, "Please let me eat my dinner."
He had a long career as a writer, and that's how he saw himself. He worked in the military newspaper Stars and Stripes and has written four books about World War II. He has written for entertainment personalities Arthur Godfrey and Gary Moore and was a longtime partnership with the correspondent Harry Reasoner.
On "60 Minutes" is looking for something new at the end of her show, the first essay, Rooney appeared on July 2, 1978: Complaint about the people who attended, how many people died in traffic accidents on holiday weekends.
