His essays often look at the absurdities of life and language in general.
Prior to his role at 60 Minutes, Rooney worked for the military newspaper Stars and Stripes and wrote four books about World War II. He also wrote for entertainment personalities Arthur Godfrey and Garry Moore and had a longtime partnership with newsman Harry Reasoner.
