The Resume

(January 8, 1933-January 23, 2024)
Birth name is Charles Osgood Wood III
Raised in Baltimore and Philadelphia
Resides in New Jersey
Host of 'CBS Sunday Morning (1994- )'
Host of 'The Osgood File' on CBS Radio Network (1971- )
Wrote 'Osgood on Speaking (1988),' 'The Osgood Files (1991)' and 'See You On the Radio (1999)'

Why he might be annoying:

His trademark is a bow tie.
He writes lousy, corny poetry.
He calls himself the 'poet-in-residence' of CBS News.
He wrote two books with insanely stupid titles: 'Nothing Could Be Finer Than a Crisis That is Minor in the Morning' and 'There's Nothing I Couldn't Do If You Would Be My POSSLQ.'
On TV, he sometimes plays the piano and sings in a wobbly old voice.
He ends each 'CBS Sunday Morning' broadcast with the cheesy line 'See you on the radio' (impossible, since you can't see anyone on radio).

Why he might not be annoying:

He filled the shoes of Charles Kuralt, the beloved original host of 'CBS Sunday Morning.'
He has a mild, grandfatherly screen presence.
He's friends with Alan Alda.
He's a talented musician.
He wrote thoughtful commentaries after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
He won many broadcasting awards.
