Jane Pauley to succeed Charles Osgood
Click here for reuse options!The on-air transition will likely be welcomed by fans of the beloved Sunday morning newsmagazine. Pauley has been a popular substitute host of the broadcast since 2014, and she was considered the most likely person to take over for Osgood.
Osgood, 83, announced his retirement plan last month, and Sunday was his final program. He will continue to appear on the show occasionally, according to CBS News president David Rhodes.
“There’s nobody like him, and there’s no show like this show,” Rhodes said in a phone interview.
Pauley’s promotion is — in part — a signal that the show itself isn’t changing. Executive producer Rand Morrison is staying in place. And Pauley, 65, is well known to “CBS Sunday Morning” viewers.

He’s been doing it for 20+ years, and I have never seen his show.
I just don’t get up early Sunday mornings.
