Charles Kuralt was a genius --- a genius storyteller. He is the reason that I as a teenager sought a career as a storytelling journalist. 30 years later I still aspire to tell stories like CK, for these truly are the most important of the day's news.
Amen
People like Charles Kuralt are forgotten because there are too many nobodies famous for doing nothing but being famous cluttering pop culture. I knew of Charles Kuralt because my grandfather watched him, and I bought him his "On the Road" book for Christmas.
He had a comforting voice, I miss the non toxic reporters. ✌️
As a kid in the late 70s and continuing on into the 90s, I loved watching Charles Kuralt. What an amazing story teller. This brought a tear or four to my eyes.
Charles Kuralt is actually the only name I do associate with CBS Sunday Morning. I've only seen it a few times here and there since the 80's when my parents would watch it every Sunday.
I will not forget Charles Kuralt. Period.
I will not forget Charles Kuralt. Exclamation.
Neither will I!
He was a very nice and down to earth man. Gone too soon.
"History begins with me" occurs when people don't invest the time to examine the foundation that the CBS institution was built on. Charles Kuralt's legacy continues to be a tremendous influence in my life. RUclips continues to introduce On The Road to new fans, a real gift.
Such a lovely series.
One of the best news shows ever. Thanks for the memories.
I remember Charles Kuralt's charismatic voice and hearty laugh. He showed us a unique view of America that many of us would not have seen otherwise. The show was very entertaining.
I've long said everything I've ever known about writing I learned from Charles Kuralt. He spoke like a poet. His story telling was second to none. He zeroed in on the very best in people -- all people. He truly was one of the masters. The influence Charles Kuralt had is incalculable.
I remember all the wonderful stories of the quiet America.
A part of my late youth into full on adulthood.......Charles Kuralt got me going "On The Road" all those years ago......and I'm STILL traveling.....
Among my favorite childhood memories. And later as an adult, I moved to NEPA. Mike Stevens of WNEP 16 still does these type of amazing segments. Both are class acts. Great television but sadly has become a lost art giving way to incessant negative and fabricated tragedies of drills past off as actual events. Definitely not the same as it was growing up as a kid in the 70's - 80's.
Also the first host of Sunday Morning
I had to watch him in school. I dreaded at first; but it became a favorite and having travelled and lived in 32 states I see why he had a passion for his work.
I tried to never miss it even when I was a kiddo. CBS was great back then.
I remember him, that's when we had great TV still..I miss it compared to what we have now, I was probably 12 years old when i started watching him.
I remember the ending nature photography films were much longer then, sometimes as long as ten minutes, it was glorious. On today's Sunday Morning, if you get a nature video, if it is longer than 30 seconds, it's a surprise.
Wow, that is amazing. 10 minutes?! People's attention spans just aren't that long anymore but I can definitely see how 10 minutes of nature could be a really peaceful way to start a Sunday
Loved Kuralt and you to Steve . I wish they would so some of those classics of his as well
ABB 4323--- You'd think there would be a few CD's out there in this vast age of social media.....I'd love to watch some Golden Moments from the past as well...Cheers!
I enjoyed Mr Karult’s shows. Before today I would have guessed he’s been gone 10 or 12 years, but I looked it up and couldn’t believe he passed away 23 years ago! Surely missed
He died on the 4th of July 1997. His favorite day to celebrate his favorite country.
The man who paved the road for every RV Vlogger out there.
Please keep the stories coming .
Don't let them die with Charles .
One of a kind .
44 comments about one of the most wonderful journalists and segments on how beautiful we all are.Long live your spirit of inquiry, Charles.
We need people like Charles Kuralt.
..in news yes. As husbands no. Man led a double life.
@@MidwestDrama That is putting it mildly. He got away with it, too, and the wife (later his two daughters after his wife Petie died) and the mistress, Pat Baker Shannon, were left to duke it out over his Montana property, which Shannon got and in recent years sold.
@Old chunk of coal. His wives...kids and apparently you. Thanks for your comment.
One of the greatest reporters
We won’t forget!
What an Awesome segment he did . I loved his On. The Road. ! ❤️
Today Commemorates Charles Kuralt's 85th Birthday
I've heard of Charles Kuralt, and I used to watch CBS Sunday Morning when I was a boy. It's a shame that he passed away when he did. Who knows what he might be doing today, whether he'd still be telling stories, albeit via the internet, or retired and telling stories of his life "On the Road".
Great guy glad I got to grow up with him , cherish it more now as a grownup
Makes me nostalgic.
In one of his books he wrote how his dad had to drive his mom to the hospital on the day he was born. He had 50 miles under his belt before he was 24 hours old. A true wanderer. His low key style and hearty NC laugh made him unique, and he cared not for the limelight. Just the real American story... with real Americans.
2023 and I still remember Charles Kuralt. I was looking for one of his poems about Fibonacci ratios when I stumbled onto this video. I miss his style of news reporting and storytelling.
Brings a tear to my eye kuralt isn't remembered or lauded by America.
I watched his show religiously for 30 years due to my friend Fred. In my opinion the best thing on TV ever. My Dad would agree he was and still is fan too!
Thanks Charles RIP
I sure loved his show .
We need this soooooo bad today. These shows United us as people as it showed that differences were what made us people.
I loved Charles Kuralt and did everything I could to make sure I saw these episodes. I also enjoyed the re-runs because I saw things I hadn't noticed before. Steve Hartman always does an amazing job as well. I love these vignettes of American life. Always will. Long life to Steve.
p.s. I still miss you like crazy Mr. Kuralt, wherever you are.
I'll always remember him, and I'm 41
Television has sadly only ever produced a few worthy, enduring works. Mr. Kuralt's efforts are so counted. What do these three great Americans hame in common... Thomas Jefferson, John Adam's and Charles Kuralt?... Anyone know?
All three died on the 4th of July
kimosabbe50 Indeed!
Very nice piece, truly sad that folks young and old have difficulty recalling this marvelous journalist and man.
I remain in search of his piece on daylilies growing along country roads; it had a profound impact upon me as a young man, these flowers growing along the backroads near and around our family's farm. If anyone knows where there is a video of that episode, please share, and thank you.
I read his book and it was very good.
Rest In Peace
Great person
How could you not like it ? It’s America ! Love or Leave it !🤨
The fact alone that this video doesn't have way more views is a disgrace !
Interesting!
"well i don't think you're gonna let em do that" I about cried
This is very intresting! I recently found out that he is my distant relative and my family still has the same surname! I also found it funny how they prounaunce the surname Kuralt haha. Well i never knew this guy was this influential! Hello from Slovenia 🇸🇮
"The Wanderer" is an apt description of Kuralt given his lifestyle. BTW, don't waste any of your life trying to read Pat Shannon's "memoir," which has very little to do with Kuralt and her relationship with him and is a crashing bore.
Every time I hear this song i think of that ole fella and the places he been, the people he met and what he did was bring this country together to see what other americans were doing
Rename the show "Charles Kuralt's On the Road" with Steve Hartman.
The man who had no respect for his wife or children.
Left all of them holding the bag when he died although it was his intention the mistress, Pat Shannon, inherit the rest of the Montana property. She was already deeded some of it. She prevailed in the courts for the remaining property and a few years ago sold it.
I have read he got the idea for On The Road from Steinbeck's Travels with Charley book. He was an absolute master journalist, who could supposedly could sit down and write a first rate news article in one draft, in no time at all. Same with Roger Ebert and Allister Cooke. Some people just have the gift. And in his case, the eye for a good story.
His passion was potatoes of every kind, types common to obscure, and which he ate in huge amounts prepared every day, 6 times as much as the average adult, and this finally caught up with and overtook him by the fact of killing. A post mortem found that his cerebrum had the soft consistency of buttered mashed potatoes.
Does anyone know the name of the "Little Old Lady pilot"?

This could of only been done back then.
I really hope someone will pick up Steve Hartman's legacy the way he's picked up Charles kuralt.
Back when older people lived a long time becomes they were happy and knew how to have fun!
Now it's just mess.
She's really nice and pretty (:
Kuralt. Kept more people out of church than any other American!
He died at a too young age of 62

TIL Hunter S Thompson had a sober optimist twin.

Your own interns don't know who Charles Kurault was? Seriously? :-/
Drew Conway--- Actually....Steve Hartman's Intern was one of the 2 who did know who Charles Kurault was.....as for the rest of those Interns?...Well you'll have to take that up with the higher ups....Cheers
The Stuport I meant "your" as in CBS, not the reporter personally. Obviously.
Drew Conway---Well OBVIOUSLY you took a lot for granted....since we readers are not privy to YOUR thoughts, we go on our own individual interpretations of what you typed....next time proof read slick.
Now TVs are trash.
