Charlie Rose to host series alongside men taken down by “Me Too” movement: report
Charlie Rose — whose PBS show was canceled following allegations of sexual harassment — is expected to star in a series where he interviews other men who have faced sexual harassment scandals, Page Six reported.
The show would feature Rose alongside men such as comedian Louis C.K. and former NBC anchor Matt Lauer, who both had sexual harassment allegations lodged against them last year.

Brown, who was approached to produce Rose’s show, turned down the job.
The show is being seen by some as a comeback attempt for some of the men who were toppled by the “Me Too” movement.
The movement began last year following numerous sexual harassment and assault allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Weinstein’s scandal triggered a deluge of accusations and reports against prominent men in politics and media.
