Mike Wallace, who spent more than four decades as a hard-hitting, provocative news correspondent on "60 Minutes,"has died CBS reported Sunday. He was 93.

He anchored the "CBS Morning News With Mike Wallace" and covered most of the major news stories of the 1960s, including several assignments to Vietnam, according to the "60 Minutes" website.

He was with "60 Minutes" when it debuted on September 24, 1968. In 2006, he became a correspondent emeritus and stopped appearing regularly.

In 2008, Wallace underwent successful triple-bypass heart surgery.

"Mike Wallace is a legend in the news business," CNN's Anderson Cooper, a contributor to "60 Minutes," has said.

Tough, hardworking, he'd go anywhere to get the story," Cooper said. "If I could have half the career Mike Wallace had, I would consider myself a very lucky man."

I always kind of liked his reporting most of the time on 60 Minutes. He will be missed and I can't believe he was 93.
 
When Mike Wallace got to heaven, he was greeted by St. Peter. Immediately, St. Peter ask Mike to wait a minute so that Peter could speak with God.
Peter walked around heaven until he found God and ask if Mike could be admitted into Heaven.
God thought for a second and said: "Yes, go ahead and admit him. But tell him the rule is no asking all the people here questions about their life."
