Charles Osgood, veteran CBS newsman and longtime host of "Sunday Morning," dies at 91 (msn.com)


Award-winning journalist Charles Osgood, who anchored "CBS Sunday Morning" for 22 years and was host of the long-running radio program "The Osgood File," died Tuesday at home in New Jersey. He was 91.

The cause of death was dementia, his family said.
I had breakfast with him in Los Angeles about 30 years ago. Super humble and easy to talk with (he, of course, not I)...
 
RIP Tom Ganios! The Chili scene from Porky's will always be a classic! It was the best follow-up from the "Michael Hunt" scene!

Ole Anderson, original Four Horsemen member, dead at 81 - CBSSports.com



Alan Rogowski, better known in the wrestling world as Ole Anderson, has died at age 81. Rogowski had an expansive legacy in the wrestling industry but is best known as one of the members of the original Four Horsemen faction. Friends and family members shared the news of Rogowski's passing on Monday.

Rogowski became one of the "Anderson Family" and teamed with his storyline brother Gene Anderson as The Minnesota Wrecking Crew in 1968 after Lars Anderson left the team. Rogowski and Anderson won numerous tag titles, with Rogowski also picking up tag team title wins with Lars Anderson as he was brought back to the team on occasion.
 

I just watched the latest Curb episode that featured him earlier this afternoon and I thought he looked really frail and noticed in every scene he was sitting.

Then about 30-60 mins later I go online and see this news.

It felt so surreal.

He had amazing chemistry with Larry David and will be missed by many Curb fans.
