Osgood bowing out

Charles Osgood’s bow tie will disappear from "CBS Sunday Morning" this year. Jane Pauley probably will replace Osgood as anchor, where Charlie reigned for two decades.

Pauley occasionally substitutes as host for Osgood, who is 83.

Osgood will have knee-replacement surgery in a few weeks and will be off the air while he recovers.

My personal experience is that you need at least 4 weeks before you can play golf again.

Osgood took over the telecast from Charles Kuralt.

Osgood is expected to continue “The Osgood File” on CBS Radio. He’s been doing that since 1971.

 “CBS Sunday Morning” is the top rated Sunday morning news program, easily surpassing  “Good Morning America” and “Today.”
