"Sunday Morning" host Charles Osgood"s exit interview
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.
Pauley joined the program as a contributor in April 2014, a few months after the program profiled her distinguished career.
"We first got to know Jane when we did a story about her," Morrison said in a statement. "Our viewers immediately responded by suggesting she belonged on "Sunday Morning" permanently. And as is so often the case, they were right.She"s a dedicated, experienced broadcast journalist. But every bit as important, she"s a delight to work with. A worthy successorand a perfect fit."
Pauley"s first program will be on October 9. (Next week, October 2, "Sunday Morning" is pre-empted by an NFL football game.)
She recently praised Osgood while speaking at the News and Documentary Emmys.
"He"s going to be missed by millions," she said.
She asked aloud, "What will "Sunday Morning" be without his "presence?" His calm demeanor? His civility? His curiosity? His delight?"
She said "CBS Sunday Morning" is a kind of church for many Americans. (It is the most-watched Sunday morning news program, reliably out-rating all the political talk shows.)
"For 22 years, the church of "Sunday Morning" has had an officiant who reliably conveyed grace," Pauley said at the Emmys. "People will miss him deeply, because even in the worst of times, it felt like Charles Osgood could see the best in us."

Don’t miss WWE Clash of Champions 2016 – Sunday, Sept. 25
Nia Jax made her WWE pay-per-view debut in impressive fashion Sunday at Clash of Champions, as she decisively defeated Alicia Fox.
WWE shared a video clip of Jax"s Samoan Dropfinisher:
Mike Killiam of WrestleZone.com provided his take on Jax"s new finishing move:
After getting drafted to Raw, Jax showcased her dominance on a weekly basis as part of the red brand by dominating local enhancement talent and displaying her pure strength and power.
Fox became the first main-roster competitor to step up to Jax, however, after the former NXT standout destroyed one of Foxy"s friends.
That led to the one-time Divas champion flipping out on Jax backstage, including throwing a tissue box in her face.
The Rock"s cousin didn"t take kindly to that, as rather than having a bout against Fox on Raw, she drove her through a barrier, which set the stage for their grudge match at Clash of Champions.
Fox showed great fight and determination in agreeing to a match against Jax despite the obvious size disadvantage, but Nia vowed to make her pay:
Although Fox was well aware of the huge challenge that awaited her, she also realized it was a great opportunity to make herself a player in Raw"s revamped women"s division:
Ever since Sasha Banks, Charlotte and Becky Lynch got called up to the main roster last year, Fox became something of an afterthought. That became even truer when the brand split led to the likes of Alexa Bliss, Carmella and Bayley making the leap from NXT as well.
While Fox has been part of the main roster for years, her opportunities to be featured in meaningful angles have been few and far between, which is why her rivalry with Jax stood out as a chance to return to the spotlight.
Even so, Fox entered Clash of Champions as a massive underdog due to the notion that the match was set up to be a stepping stone for Jax rather than a story of redemption for Fox.
That proved to be the case, as Jax picked up her first win of significance on the main roster and potentially established herself as a threat to go after the Raw Women"s Championship in the near future.
Jax is a supremely talented competitor with great bloodlines, and the fact she stands out due to her look and style suggest she will be given plenty of chances to be an impact player in the women"s division.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Pittsburgh Steelers Highlights & Recap
Benjamin, who missed last season due to injury, started the season well with 13 catches for 199 yards and 3 touchdowns in the first two games, with Newton regularly praising how much easier everything was with him around. That changed this week, as Benjamin was targeted just once by Newton and finished the day with zero catches. It was the first time in his career that he failed to get a catch, and the Vikings did not stop there, also holding Devin Funchess without a single reception.
Captain Munnerlyn, a defensive back for the Vikings, told reporters after the game that the shutout was by design.
We just knew where Benjamin was the whole time, he said. Funchess, we werent worried about him. It was Kelvin Benjamin.
Munnerlyn went as far as to say the team was not worried about Funchess, saying hes not that good.
The loss ended a 14-game home winning streak by the Panthers.
Rams 37, Buccaneers 32: Turns out the offensively challenged Los Angeles Rams are capable of getting the ball in the end zone. Case Keenum threw for the teams first touchdown since relocating back to Los Angeles, and Todd Gurley rushed for two more scores Sunday in a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Rams (2-1), who did not have TD in the first two games of the season, also scored on Ethan Westbrooks 77-yard fumble return and Tavon Austins 43-yard reception in the fourth quarter before thunder and lightning caused a 69-minute weather delay with two minutes remaining.
Colts 26, Chargers 22: There is still plenty to be worried about in Indianapolis, with Andrew Luck continuing to struggle with turnovers and inconsistency for the Colts, but the team finally got its first win of the season. A 63-yard catch-and-run by T.Y. Hilton in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter completed the Colts comeback, and the teams defense forced a fumble to seal the victory.
With the win by Indianapolis, the only winless teams left are Cleveland, Jacksonville, Chicago and New Orleans, but the Bears and Saints have yet to play this week.

Redskins 29, Giants 27: It was never going to be easy. The Giants defense knew it. They knew it when the linebacker Keegan Robinson stood during a meeting Friday morning to remind his teammates that the winless Washington Redskins were especially dangerous.
Its like a trap game, Robinson told them. This team is desperate.
But with an opportunity to bury their rivals deeper in the N.F.C. East division, at home on a crisp and sunny afternoon, the Giants defense did not heed its own warnings, falling, 29-27, at MetLife Stadium. Heres how the Redskins won.
Chiefs 24, Jets 3: The play that encapsulated the Chiefs demolition of the Jets on Sunday was not the first turnover they forced. Or the second. Or the third. Or the fourth. Or the fifth. Or the sixth. Or the seventh. Or even the eighth.
Rather, it was a long third-quarter gain by the Kansas Citys superlative tight end, Travis Kelce, who caught a pass over the middle, sprinted across the field and at the end of his run administered a blow to Jets safety Marcus Gilchrist that was less stiff arm than ultimate fighting move. Instead of purely shoving Gilchrist, Kelce appeared to lift him with his right hand, pushing him back five yards.
The Chiefs bullied the Jets throughout the game, taking advantage of a team that was too slow, too clumsy and too challenged by the task of making sensible decisions or holding onto the ball to bother trying to assert itself as a contender in the A.F.C.
Dolphins 30, Browns 24: Signed by the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, Cody Parkey came out to kick what would have been a 46-yard game-winning field goal in the closing seconds of a hard-fought game against the Miami Dolphins. On a tough day in which he had already missed two other field goal attempts, Parkeys kick sailed wide-left and forced overtime.
For the Browns, who lost Robert Griffin III to injury in Week 1, and choked away a 20-point first quarter lead against Baltimore in Week 2, overtime had to feel like a foregone conclusion. And on Miamis second possession of overtime, Jay Ajayi confirmed those fears, breaking free for an 11-yard touchdown run that gave the Dolphins a 30-24 victory and dropped Clevelands record to 0-3.
Ravens 19, Jaguars 17: Justin Tucker kicked his fourth field goal, a 54-yarder, with 1 minute 2 seconds left for a road victory that kept the Baltimore Ravens undefeated and dropped the Jacksonville Jaguars to 0-3.
Packers 34, Lions 27: Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes all in the first half and the Packers withstood a rally from the Lions to win at home.
Raiders 17, Titans 10: The Oakland Raiders beat the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, getting three turnovers and a sack from their maligned defense.
Russell Wilson Injured in Seahawks Victory
Russell Wilson threw for 243 yards and a touchdown before suffering a left knee injury as the Seattle Seahawks rolled to a 37-18 rout of the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Wilson was injured with about 10 minutes to go in the third quarter getting pulled down awkwardly on a sack by San Franciscos Eli Harold. Harold was called for a horse collar penalty, but the bigger concern was how he fell on Wilsons left leg.
Wilson stayed down on the field for a few moments before walking off. Wilson missed the first play of his career due to injury, but returned to throw one more pass. The completion led to the third of Steven Hauschkas three field goals for a 27-3 lead and after that Wilsons day was done. Read more about Wilsons injury.
No National Anthem Protests on Field in CharlottePhoto Panthers quarterback Cam Newton wore a shirt with a Martin Luther King Jr. quotation during pregame warm-ups. Credit Mike McCarn/Associated Press
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton did not kneel during the national anthem on Sunday, but he addressed the unrest in Charlotte, N.C., by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a quotation from Martin Luther King Jr.
Newton, who has avoided making race a part of his personal narrative, surprised some by taking time during the week to address Tuesdays shooting in Charlotte, which occurred close to the Panthers stadium. Many thought Newton would choose to take a knee during the national anthem, similar to the protests of Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers; instead, Newton wore a black T-shirt during warm-ups that read, Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
While Newton did not kneel during the anthem, his teammate Marcus Ball stood with his arm extended and his index finger raised, and a group of protesters outside the stadium knelt.
Elsewhere in the league, a growing number of players knelt or raised their fists during the anthem, including four players from the Washington Redskins.
Last week, DeSean Jackson, who was one of the Redskins players raising his fist, published a photo of Terrence Crutcher, a black man shot by the police in Tulsa, Okla., on his Instagram feed with a caption that read in part, Us as black People are a threat , so jus take our lives smh the system been set up for us not to live and make it thru all this.

BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 25 (UPI) -- If you own Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins, it could be good news that the team is benching him Sunday.
Watkins has struggled to produce through two games, dealing with a lingering foot injury.
The third-year wide receiver has the ability to break out, scoring nine touchdowns in 13 game last season, but hasn"t sniffed the end zone so far in 2016.
The Bills are expected to feature Watkins more in its offense, following the firing of offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Watkins has just six catches for 63 yards this season.
Before the season, Watkins was seen as a WR2 with WR1 upside. Although his talent hasn"t been challenged, his health continues to shackle him from being an elite player at the position. I think this was a good move for the Bills, who started Watkins on a short week in its Thursday Night Football loss to the New York Jets. Giving Watkins some much needed rest might just be all he needs to get back to his imposing Sunday persona and production.
Watkins tweeted Saturday night that he was "ready to go out there and compete at the highest level," but later deleted the message.
CBS Sports" Jason La Canfora reported Saturday that the Bills were "holding out hope" for Watkins to suit up.
I don"t think any of Watkins" fill-ins are start worthy, going up against the Cardinals" top corner Patrick Peterson and a talented secondary. Marquis Goodwin is expected to start opposite of Robert Woods as Tyrod Taylor"s top targets.
The injury updates just keeping piling up. A bunch of stars have already been ruled "out" (Arian Foster, Jonathan Stewart, Doug Martin) or "doubtful" (Thomas Rawls, Jamaal Charles,Antonio Gates), but there are still a host of key "questionable" players (Brandon Marshall, Sammy Watkins, Delanie Walker, Alshon Jeffery, Julio Jones, Willie Snead) who are coming up often in start-sit questions and having a big effect on Week 3 fantasy football rankings.
Whether you"re putting together a daily fantasy football lineup or just looking for the latest news for your standard league, we"re here to help.
Follow us at@SN_Fantasy for more updates, and check out our Facebook Live show starting at 11 am ET for your chance to ask lineup questions!
Although Marshall gutted it out after injuring his knee in Week 2, his status for Week 3 is very much in question. The latest on Marshall, who has a foot injury in addition to his ailing knee, is that he is expected to play, but he might be on a snap count.but the man himself hasn"t had great things to say about his condition this week.
As we said earlier in the week, it"s tough to sit Marshallin standard leagues if he plays, but he"s a huge risk in DFS cash games. It"s not a bad idea to get a share of him in a GPP since others might be scared off, but clearly expectations should be lowered. We like Quincy Enunwaas a sleeper against the Chiefsregardless of Marshall"s status.
Sammy Watkins injury update
On Saturday,Watkins tweeted that he"s "ready to go out there and compete...", but on Sunday morning, Adam Schefter reported that Watkins will not play against the Cardinals.
Will Delanie Walker play?
UPDATE:Walker is INACTIVE.
Walker (hamstring) will be a game-time decision after doing little in practice this week, and there"s some worry he"ll be limited even if he"s active.
It"s tough for Walker owners to bench him if he"s playing given the dearth of worthwhile TE options. If you"re looking for other potential options, check out our TE rankings.
Baldwin (knee) and Lockett (knee) both practiced fully on Thursday and are virtuallocks to play against the 49ers.
Rashad Jennings not expected to play
Jennings (thumb) was orginally expected to give it a go this week, but his injured thumb must be making things too uncomfortable for him. He"s now expected to sit out Sunday"s game against the Redskins.
This is big news for Shane Vereen, who figures to operate as the Giants featured back.
Will Alshon Jeffery play on Sunday night?
You have to take any injury seriously when it comes to Jeffery, but the fact he practiced on Friday is a good sign and reports on Sunday suggeset he"ll play.Jeffery has been dealing with knee soreness all week, and given that the Bears play on Sunday night, his owners should be ready with a backup just in case.
The most obvious (available) candidates from the primetime games areCole Beasely, Terrance Williams, andEddie Royal.
Julio Jones injury status
Jones (calf) is "questionable" for Monday night"s game against New Orleans, but the star receiver has put to rest any doubts about his availability, saying "I will play."
Snead (toe) appears to be a true game-time decisions heading into Monday night"s game, so if you don"t have another alternative from that game, it"s best to leave Snead on your bench.
If Snead is out, Michael Thomas would get a nice bump in value.

Smith presents a page from our Sunday Morning Almanac:
January 8, 1933 ... 83 years, eight
months and 17 days ago today ... the day Charles Osgood Wood was born in New York City.
Charles Osgood Wood and hissister, Mary Ann.
Courtesy Charles Osgood
He was joined just shy of a year later
by his baby sister, Mary Ann, and together they shared a childhood of simple
pleasures.
Summers meant happy times at their
grandparents home in Massachusetts, where they whiled away the long days
fishing and flying kites.
Back in New York, Charlie and Mary
Ann shared a room in a small rental apartment ... and Charliebegan hisschool days
at Our Lady of Refuge in the Bronx.
That all changed in early 1942, when Charlies father, a
textile salesman, was transferred from New York to Baltimore.
In Baltimore Charlie and his sister welcomed a much younger brother, Ken, and they experienced a unique period in our history.
And who better to tell THAT part of Charlies journeythan
Charlie himself ... as he did right here on Sunday Morning back in
2005:
You leave the Pennsylvania StationAround a quarter to four,Read a magazineAnd then youre in Baltimore
Baltimore, Maryland, birthplace of the
great Babe Ruth and ofthe Star-Spangled Banner. Edgar Allen Poe livedthere, and so did I.
The year was1942. I was nine years old. Like many nine year old boys, Iwas in love with baseball, and radio and the world around me.
And what a world it was, back then --
a world at war. A world of rationing, and air raid drills, and victory gardens, all of which seemed wonderfully romantic to a nine-year-old boy dreaming of the universe beyond Baltimore.
I can still see that boy in my minds
eye, blissfully happy in that terrible time, as only a nine-year-old can be.
On January 2, a few daysbefore I
turned nine, the Japanese took Manila, and sadly I had to pin a tiny Japanese
flag to the big map I had tacked to my bedroom wall.
It would be June 4th, the date of
Americas great victory in the Battle of Midway, before I could happily pin up
an American flag.
Did I mention thatI loved baseball? The
Orioles then were not the Orioles oftoday. In those days, they were a
struggling AAA team that often played AA ball. I loved them anyway, especially
when my father would take me out to the ball park to see the games.
In Baltimore in 1942, there were white
wooden houses with big front porches and grand white stoops many of them
still standing, along with the Bromo Seltzer tower. It lookedItalian with a distinctly American twist.
In those days, there was a 40-foot-tall
Bromo Seltzer bottle on top of the tower.In Manhattan, a college boy met his
date under the Biltmore clock; in Baltimore, theyd meetunder the fizz.
In 1942, milk was delivered in
bottles, the mail was delivered twice a day, and that boy named Charlie Wood had a paper route,deliveringthe Baltimore Sun.
Osgood demonstrated this throwing arm:
Youd have a stack of them held together with astrap, pull one out as you approach the customer,fold itinto the throwing position -- this is where accuracy in
journalism reallycomes in -- try not to get it in the bushes or on the roof.
My best boyhood pal was a girl -- my
slightly younger sister, Mary Ann, who followed the Orioles and the war, and loved the radio justas much asI did.
On an April day as
misty as my boyhood memories, Mary Ann and I visited our old house on Edgewood
Road and relived some of those childhood joys, like the gas street lamps.
I dont think we had one of those
dishes on the roofin 1942, Osgood said.
No, we didnt, but we got very goodradio
signals, though, Mary Ann replied.
Radio was my window on the world -- and
a world unto itself, a world more fantastic, and more real, than the world I
saw every day in Baltimore The Lone Ranger and Edgar Bergen, the
only ventriloquist every to succeed on radio. I even knew what the Shadow
looked like, and he was invisible!
American radio of the 1940s had a
profound influence on me -- itsthereason I am doing what I do today, instead
of playing the organ at a skating rink. I could imagine no career more
delightful, except perhaps to play shortstop for the Orioles. That dream was a littleunrealistic, though --I was afraid of ground b***s!
In those golden days of radio, I never
minded the intrusions of sponsors. The commercials were entertaining. Mary Ann
and I both loved them.
If you
want a peppy pup,Than
you better hurry up,Buy Thrivo,
for himmmmmmm!
I took piano lessons at the Peabody
Institute, an august institution thats still there in Baltimore, newly-refurbished
and busier than ever!
Director Robert Sirota even had a
surprise for me: We even actually haveyour report card, Charles O. Wood, 3504 Edgewood Road. It says thatyou took four terms of pianosatisfactorily.
I stillremember the song I played at my recital,The Happy Farmer,that I almost
didnt get to performwhen they forgot to call my name.
In the evening, our family would
gather around the piano at the house on Edgewood Road to sing our favorite
songs. That was what families did in 1942, with the shades drawn and the lights
dimmed in the midst of a terrible war.
For a few minutes, wed let the rest
of the world go by
Well find perfect peace, where joys never
ceaseOut there beneath a kindly skyWell build a sweet little nestSomewhere in
the westAnd let the rest of the world go by.
