Jane Pauley is back on the morning shift. Charles Osgood is handing the “CBS Sunday Morning” baton to the former “Today” co-host, who will be the new anchor of the news program.

The move was announced at the end of Osgood’s final appearance as host of the program he took over 22 years ago. Pauley will be just the third anchor in the 37-year history of the program known for its soothing tone and literate storytelling. Osgood took over for Charles Kuralt, the program’s first anchor, in 1994.

Osgood, 83, announced in August that he is retiring from CBS News after 50 years at the network, although he will still be heard on CBS Radio. The bow tie he wore on his last “CBS Sunday Morning” broadcast is being donated to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

For Pauley, 64, “CBS Sunday Morning” will be her first regular anchor role on a news program since she left NBC’s “Dateline” in 2003. She spent a year as the host of her own syndicated talk show in 2004 and did mostly specials and occasional segments on NBC’s “Today” in the 10 years that followed...

2. Ugh.

I can't stand Jane Pauley. Sorry. Her goofy, phony facial expressions during interviews and the sound of her voice nauseate me.

I liked Osgood though. I've always liked CBS Sunday morning's program. Well, at least I have a Roku box, so don't have to watch her intro.

4. He's been a lot of wonderful for a lot of time.

I met Charles Osgood once - when he was featured speaker at a local news organization event. He was utterly charming. He had a new book out at the time and of course we all wanted signed copies!

He spoke at length about his career and little featurettes from the book. He talked about a cat he knew, named Shan, and the way the cat got its name - from the spoonerism "when the fit hits the shan." When he signed my book, he added - "Watch out for the fit!"

5. Good for Jane!

I remember her from her days as a local news person in Chicago. I'm glad she got the job! I'm still going to miss Charles Osgood, though.

6. No better choice?? I won't be able to watch Jane.

I grew up watching Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt, then Charles Osgood - I love the show and it's been a staple in my life. Sundays just won't be the same.

She says that bore should have stayed retired. Fuck CBS.
