President Barack Obama continues his health care push on Sunday with an interview, taped Friday, on CBS’s “60 Minutes” – marking his third appearance on the show since his election.

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) will have another chance to explain his outburst at the president’s address to Congress when he appears on “Fox News Sunday.” Fox also hosts Sens. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), along with Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern.

CBS also lands top White House adviser David Axelrod and Gang of Six member Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) for “Face the Nation,” which is sure to focus on the hotly debated health care bill.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs appears on CNN’s “State of the Union,” for what may be a charged visit after he took the network to task Friday for erroneously reporting that a Coast Guard boat on the Potomac had fired shots at another boat. CNN also features House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), as well as former Bush White House counselor Ed Gillespie.
