Quote
1
[on his earring] It's a style, and if it goes against someone else's grain, then they think it says something about your politics. This says absolutely nothing about my politics. It says something about my style. [TV Guide, Feb. 24-March 1 1996]
2
I have a hoop earring that I wear for work. I have an assortment of studs now, but they're not work earrings. [TV Guide, Feb. 24-March 1 1996]
3
[on his pierced left ear] For work I wear a small gold hoop. It's tasteful and unobtrusive. At play, I wear different studs or a larger hoop.
4
My left ear has been pierced for about 10 years now. It was a bit radical at the time, and I heard about it from the network guys: 'Are you going to wear an earring on the air? What does that say? What does it mean?' To me, it just meant that I had a hole in my ear and an earring in it. It wasn't a statement.
Ed Bradley's face replaced Mike Wallace's as the first face in the 60 Minutes (1968) introduction during Bradley's last season. Wallace was the first face on the introduction of 60 Minutes (1968) since the beginning of the show. After Bradley's passing, Steve Kroft became the first face.
4
Instead of finding a replacement for Ed Bradley, 60 Minutes (1968) producers decided to use all fill-in correspondents for Bradley's stories.

Philadephia radio personality Georgie Woods once played a joke on him by setting the AP news wire ticker tape on fire while he was reading it. Bradley did not panic, he just kept reading the news faster until he finished the update.
