Host of CBS Sunday Morning and creator of The Osgood File Charles Osgood is CBS News’ “Poet-in-Residence” and one of the gems of American broadcasting. Taking over for Charles Kuralt in 1994, Osgood has continued CBS Sunday Morning’s long tradition of in-depth profiles, great reporting and wide-ranging coverage of news, art, entertainment, science, literature and culture. As anchor and writer of The Osgood File (his trademark commentaries for CBS Radio), Osgood combines poignant social commentary with an uncanny ability to find the irony and humor in everyday life.
Osgood has won three Emmy Awards, three Peabody Awards and the International Radio and Television Society Award for Significant Achievement. He also has been inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
He has anchored and reported for CBS This Morning, CBS Morning News, CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite’s Universe. He anchored the CBS Sunday Night News for seven years and has written numerous books including See You on the Radio. His new book is A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House: Humor, Blunders, and Other Oddities from the Presidential Campaign Trail.
In his speeches Osgood is charming, funny and may even play his banjo or the piano. His presentations — an entertaining mix of stories, insights and comedic banter — have delighted audiences for years.
