CBS Mornings Guests Today and This Week: Who's On the Show
Quick answer: For Monday, Oct. 5, CBS lists Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, author Michael Lewis, novelist Harlan Coben and Howie Mandel on CBS Mornings, which airs 7–9 a.m. on CBS. The rest of the week has LL Cool J, Oprah Winfrey, Mikey Madison, Ben Affleck and Miranda Lambert. Lineups are subject to change for breaking news.
The names on this page come from the guest listing CBS News sends to the press each week, which the network marks "subject to change." TVmaze's episode pages for CBS Mornings carry the same wording, so they count here as a copy of that listing and not as a second confirmation. A guest is described as having appeared only where CBS News has posted the segment on its CBS Mornings page. Everyone else is "listed."
Who is on CBS Mornings on Monday, Oct. 5?
| Guest | Why they're on | Segment |
|---|---|---|
| Justice Samuel Alito | CBS gives no topic | Interview |
| Michael Lewis | His book "Blockers" | Author interview |
| Harlan Coben | Host and executive producer of "Harlan Coben's Final Twist" | Interview |
| Howie Mandel | Featured in a new installment of the series | Beg-Knows America |
CBS's listing gives names and projects but no order or clock times inside the two hours. Alito is the only Monday guest listed without a book or show beside his name.
Who is on CBS Mornings on Tuesday, Oct. 6?
LL Cool J and Scott Caan are listed together as co-stars of "NCIS: New York." Oprah Winfrey is listed to announce the next Oprah's Book Club selection on the show, and author Vanessa Van Edwards is booked for her book "Conversation: How to Connect with Anyone & Make Every Interaction Count."
Who is on CBS Mornings each day this week, Oct. 5 to Oct. 9?
| Day | Listed guests |
|---|---|
| Mon., Oct. 5 | Justice Samuel Alito; Michael Lewis ("Blockers"); Harlan Coben ("Harlan Coben's Final Twist"); Howie Mandel (Beg-Knows America) |
| Tue., Oct. 6 | LL Cool J, Scott Caan ("NCIS: New York"); Oprah Winfrey (Oprah's Book Club selection); Vanessa Van Edwards ("Conversation") |

Two of these guests are making the rounds. ABC's release has Ben Affleck on Good Morning America on Wednesday, Oct. 7, a day before his CBS booking, and the GMA guest list has that full lineup. Mikey Madison is listed for NBC on Tuesday, Oct. 6, on the TODAY Show guest page, then for CBS on Wednesday.
Friday, Oct. 9, has a single name so far. CBS's listing shows only Miranda Lambert for that day.
Who was on CBS Mornings last week, Sept. 28 to Oct. 2?
| Day | Listed guests | Segment posted by CBS News |
|---|---|---|
| Mon., Sept. 28 | Charles Spencer ("Swan Song: Diana, My Sister"), with Gayle King | Yes, Spencer |
| Tue., Sept. 29 | Arthur C. Brooks; John Grisham ("The French Illusion"); Blu DeTiger | Not found |
| Wed., Sept. 30 | Julie Chen Moonves, Phil Keoghan; Elias Weiss Friedman (The Dogist) | Not found |

| Fri., Oct. 2 | Anne Hathaway ("Verity"), with Gayle King; Alice Cooper ("Devil on My Shoulder: A Memoir") | Yes, Hathaway and Cooper |
Four of last week's listed guests appeared, going by what CBS News has put on its CBS Mornings page. Gayle King's interview with Charles Spencer about his book on his sister, Princess Diana, is there, as is Dr. Elizabeth Comen's segment on a new AI tool for breast cancer screening. The page also has Anne Hathaway on "Verity" and an extended interview with Alice Cooper. "Not found" means the page had no matching segment when it was read on Monday, Oct. 5. It does not mean the guest was dropped.
Who is anchoring CBS Mornings?
Gayle King, Nate Burleson and Norah O'Donnell host the show. CBS News announced O'Donnell's return as co-host on Sept. 3, 2026, and this week's listing has her interviewing Ashley McBryde on Thursday, Oct. 8. The CBS Mornings anchors page has the full history of the desk, and the anchors section covers the NBC and ABC teams.
