CBS News - Charles Osgood, veteran CBS newsman and longtime host of "Sunday Morning," dies at 91

Great guy and legendary talent. After Sunday Morning, Charles and his wife moved to their home on the French Riviera. Can't think of a more fitting way to spend one's last years on the planet.
 
Charles Osgood began his network career with ABC News in the 1960's before moving to CBS.

Most of his work was on radio (hourly newscasts and "The Osgood File" feature on weekday mornings) before replacing the retired Charles Kuralt on CBS Television's "Sunday Morning", where he maintained the program's popularity.

In fact, Osgood continued much of his radio work after taking over "Sunday Morning", and concluded each week's program by saying "See You On The Radio".

Look for current "Sunday Morning" hostess Jane Pauley to narrate an in-depth memorial tribute to her predecessor this coming Sunday (January 28th).

A personal note: When Kuralt retired, I hoped that Osgood would replace him because I thought he was best suited to host the program. Fortunately, CBS News thought the same way.
 
Charles was talented, professional, a breath of fresh air on the airwaves. Say hi to the other Charles (Kuralt) and Walter Cronkite for us. May he forever RIP. :cry:

I would call Jane Pauley the "Sunday Morning" anchor and a very good one. Not a hostess. She isn't seating people in a restaurant.

Host is an acceptable job title in this context. The NPR programs like Morning Edition and All Things Considered have hosts, not anchors. The two terms are synonymous.

I definitely agree with you about the term hostess, which sounds both sexist and demeaning in 2024.

Jane Pauley was a superb choice to succeed Mr. Osgood, just as he was in replacing Mr. Kuralt. They all excel[led] in this role.
 
I have to think that even Pauley must be nearing retirement by now. After all, she took over for Barbara Walters on the Today show in the '70s! I remember her interviewing her former co-anchor Bryant Gumbel not too long ago.
