Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did.

CBS' Charles Osgood to end 22 years as 'Sunday Morning' host

Charles Osgood, who has said "good morning" to his audience every Sunday for 22 years, is about to say "goodbye" as host of "CBS News Sunday Morning" in September. He announced his scheduled Sept. 25 farewell on Sunday's edition. That broadcast will be a tribute to Osgood's legacy on and off "Sunday Morning." But after that, he won't be absent from the program, he assured viewers, explaining he will be on hand for occasional appearances. No successor has been named, but among those under consideration are reportedly "Sunday Morning" colleagues Jane Pauley, Anthony Mason and Lee Cowan.

For years now, people — even friends and family — have been asking me why I continue doing this, considering my age...It's just that it's been such a joy doing it! It's been a great run, but after nearly 50 years at CBS ... the time has come.

Osgood

The 84-year old, known for his distinctive voice and mild manner, is exiting a job only one other person has held since "Sunday Morning" premiered in 1979. Charles Kuralt retired in 1994 after crafting the job in his folksy, easygoing image and hosting for 15 years. Osgood seemingly had an impossible act to follow. But with his own folksy erudition and his slightly bookish, bow-tied style, he immediately clicked with viewers who continued to embrace the program as an unhurried TV magazine that, as before, seemed defined only by its host's, and staff's, curiosity. Meanwhile, the program continues to be a ratings leader. With a year-to-date audience of nearly 6 million viewers, it consistently tops rival Sunday morning news programs.

(Osgood) has one of the most distinctive voices in broadcasting, guiding each broadcast, making sure the words were just right, and being a calming, reassuring presence to our viewers.
