Mike Wallace was also an advocate for depression research, and a great guy. I wrote him after I saw him addressing Congress for depression research funding. He wrote back, by hand, and even sent an autographed business card. Years ago, The Far Side comic strip did a spoof of Mike Wallace interviewing the Devil. It was a joke, but if anyone could have gotten an interview with Satan it would have been Mike Wallace. Thanks for everything, Mike. You left us WAY too soon.
There is no better tribute that a son (or daughter) could give to their father. Thank you Chris Wallace for your candor and eulogy to your great father. I watched Mike Wallace for decades on 60 Minutes, and loved every minute of it. Also...I'm missing my Dad, who passed in July 2011. Our Dads leave us with a lifetime of great memories.
Thank you, CBS, for posting this. I’ve been on such a Mike Wallace kick today and have seen so much incredible footage, some stories felt like old friends I’d not seen in ages, others, totally surprising, shocking, wonderful! Mike was as much a ham as an intellect. His integrity never wavered. What a thrill to see the reactions of his subjects when asked the hard questions. His son, Chris, as others note, is his own man, not by any stretch in the shadows of dad. Chris has superb DNA and has proven so, time and again. His tribute to dad brought tears to my eyes. At the end of the day, before and after anything else, we’re all imperfect human creatures with beating hearts and beautiful minds.
It’s a rarity that ANYONE actively searches out Truth in this world. To find both a father AND son who devoted their lives to the seeking of truth is a blessing and honor. We are a lucky nation and I hope that we can perhaps find the truth together.
Mike was the best interviewer on television there are many great ones but he's head and shoulders even the folks who hated him know he was the best in the business
Dear Chris Wallace I only now saw your tribute to your father. Mercy me, I have been consumed by life it seems. Belatedly, I express my sorrow for yours and everyone's loss. If interviewing were an Olympic game, Mike Wallace would have taken all the gold medals, every time. His presence. His tenacity. His skill. His obvious preparation and knowledge. All unmatchable. And something to watch. I loved him for all of it yet I imagine perhaps a part of your grief was for the father you didn't have, in him. I know such a loss. And Chris, for you. I confess as a later-in-life Democrat, it pains me a bit that you are on Fox. HOWEVER, admittedly I cannot think of a better place for you to be. I commend you yoo for your skill, talent, professionalism, astuteness and decorum, just to list a few of your qualities. Takes character and a sharp, talented mind to deliver as you do and as your father did. All the best! Respectfully,
Why Mike Wallace''s son would settle for Fox News (entertainment) is beyond me. Chris Wallace is so much better than Fox News (entertainment). Not his father but the next best anchorman we have now without Walter Cronkite. Fox News (entertainment) makes Chris Wallace looks like another Ted Baxter from Mary Tyler Moore and he's so much better than that. He's real.
Even though Mike Wallace was a white male, he was still a lovely human being. I know everyone in media these days hates people just for being born white and male, but I reject that. Actually, I'm sick of it. My husband was murdered by 2 black men, but I don't hate black men for that. I respect Mike Wallace. Thank you, sir, for all you did for so many. I'm so sorry your memory has been tarnished by Millennials who hate white men regardless of their actions, behaviors, or character. What a world we live in.
Ayn Rand interview was interesting. She was uncomfortable discussing objectivism while he grilled her on the golden rule and the moral shortcomings of her fast and loose jungle philosophy. At some point liberals will have to take inventory of their own nature ( sensibilities) and what that means objectively.
Chris, I'd bet that your daddy is looking down at you, while shaking his head & saying .,.. that boy wasn't to be, the best part of him ran down his momma's legs...
I will always imagine a day when Shep Smith and Cris Wallace run hand in hand through a lush flower patch away from the Empire of Evil and towards any self respecting news source.
Holden Caulfield How does Wallace not have integrity. being around the people of Fox News but still being the only one who makes sense and being a realist, he certainly has integrity.
Chris Wallace is right up there with Rachel Maddow, Donna Le'mon and Fredo. Actually, I think I just gave Chris Wallace more credibility than he deserves.
I applaud anyone who can give a eulogy. I’m a puddle just listening. To be able to get through just one sentence is an act of courage and strength.
I can't even attend a funeral. I'm too hyper sensitive. I'm in tears watching this...

to soon? he was 93...
Oh my, how wonderful. How touching that he did that. Mental unwellness it is mighty thing to deal with.
Oh my and what an interview it would have been!! :-P
@@ethanwashoe5868 I agree with @MrCzechers!! Mike Wallace was a great man, but a not so great hubby lol
Mike Wallace was the reason I studied journalism. He was so professional and good at what he did.
I Miss "Real Journalism"
Thankfully there's still a little bit of that out there. Standing before you, you are watching a prime example
Chris, you dad would be so proud of you!
Susanne Osolin and he would be a guard dog against Trump for disrespecting his son.
Theres only one Chris Wallace and that was Biggie Smalls
No. He wouldn't. He'd be absolutely ashamed.
I love that I see Mike Wallace's face so much in his son.
Chris' shaky voice tells me how much he loved his dad.
Very emotional & heartfelt tribute from his son...loved it:)
Chris Wallace is not his father, but he doesn't have to be. He's his own person, and I can accept that. That was a wonderful tribute to his Dad.
But he got them FANGS like his father!!
There is no better tribute that a son (or daughter) could give to their father. Thank you Chris Wallace for your candor and eulogy to your great father.

What a son to father tribute!!! Both are News Icons!
beautiful. From the heart.

Can't believe I never put two and two together.. It all makes sense now.
Chris Wallace ,like father, like son. Born journalists that have given us so much.
Chris favors his Dad alot..
An emotional tribute from a great son to great dad. Chris is wonderful person, I consider myself very lucky to meet him in 2010.
It’s a rarity that ANYONE actively searches out Truth in this world. To find both a father AND son who devoted their lives to the seeking of truth is a blessing and honor. We are a lucky nation and I hope that we can perhaps find the truth together.
Him and his late father are amazing journalists.
I'm shuddering with emotion watching this , a son talking about his beloved father.
Mike was the best interviewer on television there are many great ones but he's head and shoulders even the folks who hated him know he was the best in the business
Great tribute but Chris is nothing like his dad
Mike would be really proud of Chris today also.
Great video.
Heaven us for Heroes, R.I.P.

And Chris, for you. I confess as a later-in-life Democrat, it pains me a bit that you are on Fox. HOWEVER, admittedly I cannot think of a better place for you to be. I commend you yoo for your skill, talent, professionalism, astuteness and decorum, just to list a few of your qualities.

All the best! Respectfully,
Well said! Thank you for expressing this for Many of us
What a great Eulogy
When news wasn’t social media.
I did not know this? Wow.
man o man...honesty and truthfulness and realness must be in this family's genes...!
so beautiful...
What a beautiful heartfelt eulogy
Mike Wallace was awesome. Not a fan of Chris, but it's nice that he sees the impact his dad's gift was.
Wow obviously they both loved and respect each other Mike Wallace was an icon may he rest in peace!
One of a kind, journalist.👍
R.I.P. Mike Wallace, you are missed.
Thanks, Chris.
What a compliment from your Dad.
The GREATEST of the great . . . nothing else need be said.
but one other thing, Chris . . . you are NOT, even close to his ability.
😭 Well done!
Did anybody notice that when Chris said why it sounded exactly like his father?
That was beautiful
how on Earth did Chris Wallace ever end up on Fox with a legacy like this??????
A good man. One of the few journalist left today. And only journalist on Fox.
Ed Wrong. Brett Baier is another and that is two more than CNN has.
@@SWalker71 very correct
I hope Criss ‘s son follows his footsteps
Excellant

Such a shame what Chris has done to the strong Wallace lineage
Only one Mike Wallace. RIP
Chris isn't a patch on his old man, and he proves it every Sunday.
Both are extraordinary men with golden hearts.
Fifty years old guy still living in the shadows of his father
HIS Father, is why Mr. Chris is so messed up.
I have nothing good to say about Mike Wallace.
I thought I was the only adult who gets choke up when talking about their deceased parents.
Even though Mike Wallace was a white male, he was still a lovely human being. I know everyone in media these days hates people just for being born white and male, but I reject that. Actually, I'm sick of it. My husband was murdered by 2 black men, but I don't hate black men for that. I respect Mike Wallace. Thank you, sir, for all you did for so many.

you're so full of nonsense

I loved Mr. Wallace
Father, good man. Son, POS.
I bet Mike would be disgusted with Chris. He's such a sellout.
Chris, I'd bet that your daddy is looking down at you, while shaking his head & saying .,.. that boy wasn't to be, the best part of him ran down his momma's legs...
I will always imagine a day when Shep Smith and Cris Wallace run hand in hand through a lush flower patch away from the Empire of Evil and towards any self respecting news source.
There was a real journalist son kinda,sold out.
Chris Wallace is not his father for sure.
His Dad has to be very disappointed in his son...
Well what happen to you lost your i fairness. Honesty & values, you should never do a depate again Jim Agousta @ you are bottom feeders
Chris is a Dem in Rhino clothes, but I'm glad he loved his father.
Blow bag
He forgot his father had a sliver of integrity unlike himself
Holden Caulfield How does Wallace not have integrity. being around the people of Fox News but still being the only one who makes sense and being a realist, he certainly has integrity.
Your Dad would have been ashamed of you today .do some things . educating poor children.just talk talk do nothing
Your word's like newspaper no value
You are not your fathers type of reported.. you have lowered your standards
Chris Wallace is pushing ridiculous left wing talking points. But at least he loved his father.
Stop the left wing and white right wing defense if you are a Christian stop the bull God Is Watching You
hahaha. wonder who is more ridiculous between you and Chris.
Is wallace on the flight logs to Epstein island.
Both liars and washed up reporters
Chris Wallace is right up there with Rachel Maddow, Donna Le'mon and Fredo. Actually, I think I just gave Chris Wallace more credibility than he deserves.
