Let f be a non-CM newform of weight k>1 without nontrivial inner twists. In this article we study the set of primes p such that the eigenvalue a_p(f) of the Hecke operator T_p acting on f generates the field of coefficients of f. We show that this set has density 1, and prove a natural analogue for newforms having inner twists. We also present some new data on reducibility of Hecke polynomials, which suggest questions for further investigation.
