Ed Bradley, 60 Minutes co-editor and correspondent, was prompted to get his ear pierced after interviewing Liza Minelli in 1986. When the subject of earrings came up, Bradley expressed his interest in wearing one. Minelli later presented him with a diamond stud, and he had his left ear pierced soon after. Bradley endured a lot of controversy when he wore the earring on-camera, but he weathered the storm and proved that men of all ages and professions can wear an earring with style. He continues to wear a hoop or diamond earring to work and chooses from a variety of studs for social occasions.

4. I think it's dumb.

I get to have an opinion, it's in my contract, and that's mine.
I see him ON TV and listen to an apparently mature and intelligent investigative reporter and then he turns his head and I see that earring and think "Oh. Show biz. Never mind".
