Dan Rather

Dan Rather (b. 1931) was the long-time anchor for CBS Evening News, from 1981 until 2005. That year, while accepting the Peabody award for his work on 60 Minutes II: Abuse at Abu Ghraib, Rather received a kiss from Kami, the star of Takalani Sesame.

In 2007, for Sesame Street Season 38, a grouch spoof of Rather, Dan Rathernot, has been created.
