Here we present a verification document for a biography sketch prepared for inclusion in Marquis’ Who’s Who in America, a prestigious directory that honors distinguished individuals across various fields. This particular document pertains to the legendary American writer and broadcaster Andrew Aitken Rooney, known widely as Andy Rooney, and is signed by him. Andrew Aitken Rooney (1919–2011) was a prominent American radio and television writer, best remembered for his distinctive weekly broadcast segment, “A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney,” which became a hallmark of the CBS News program 60 Minutes. From 1978 to 2011, Rooney’s observations on everyday life, often laced with wit, irony, and insightful commentary, resonated with millions of viewers. His segments, typically delivered in his familiar, irascible style, earned him a beloved place in American television history. Rooney’s final regular appearance on 60 Minutes aired on October 2, 2011, after which he retired from the program. Tragically, he passed away just a month later at the age of 92. Over the course of his career, Rooney became an icon of American television, known for his humorous yet thought-provoking reflections on the trivialities of modern life. His ability to blend humor with sharp social commentary made him a unique and enduring figure in broadcast journalism. In addition to his work on 60 Minutes, Rooney had a long career in print journalism, having written for magazines and newspapers, and authored several books. He also had a history of writing scripts for radio during World War II, where he contributed to wartime broadcasts and became well-regarded for his work in radio journalism. This document is a fitting tribute to Andy Rooney’s remarkable contributions to American television and broadcast journalism. Signed by Rooney himself, it is a rare and valuable piece for collectors of media and broadcast memorabilia, particularly those with an interest in 60 Minutes, American television history, or the work of influential commentators. The document is in excellent condition, with Rooney’s signature clearly displayed. It would be an exceptional addition to any collection focused on the legacy of iconic television figures, radio journalism, or the history of 60 Minutes. This piece honors the life and work of one of the most distinctive voices in American media.
