Margaret Jane Pauley is an American author and television host who was born on October 31, 1950 and has been reporting on the news since 1972. At the age of 25, Pauley became well-known for her role as Barbara Walters’ replacement on the NBC morning show Today, where she co-anchored with Tom Brokaw and Bryant Gumbel from 1976 to 1989;
for a brief time in the last part of the 1980s, she and Gumbel worked with Deborah Norville. She asked to be let out of her contract in 1989 after her job appeared to be in danger due to Norville’s inclusion in the program. Her request was granted.
From 1992 to 2003, she worked as a regular anchor for the network’s newsmagazine Dateline NBC alongside Stone Phillips.
Pauley left NBC News in 2003 and hosted the syndicated daytime talk show The Jane Pauley Show from 2004 to 2005. After one season, the show was canceled. She began hosting a weekly segment sponsored by AARP called “Your Life Calling” on The Today Show in 2009 as a contributor.
Pauley gave an interview on the CBS program CBS Sunday Morning in 2014; Pauley was hired as a contributor to the show later in 2014 because of the positive reaction from the audience to this segment.
In 2016, she was promoted to the position of host, succeeding Charles Osgood. This made her the anchor of a regular morning news program for the first time in over 25 years and marked her first job as a host of a television program since 2005. She will keep playing this role until 2022.
She has made it clear to the public that she struggles with bipolar disorder. She is hitched to the visual artist Garry Trudeau, maker of the funny cartoon Doonesbury.
Personal life
On June 14, 1980, cartoonist Garry Trudeau, the creator of Doonesbury, proposed to Pauley. They have two grandchildren in addition to three children.
Pauley serves on the directorate for the Kids’ Wellbeing Asset in New York City and is an individual from the Top managerial staff of The Brain Trust, an Indianapolis-based non-benefit association that upholds training development and change.
In 2009, Pauley gave the Jane Pauley Community Health Center, a joint venture between the Community Health Network and the Warren Township, Indiana, Metropolitan School District, her name.
The center focuses on integrating medical, dental, and behavioral health and serves local communities, including students and their families, regardless of insurance or income. Pauley grew up on the east side of Indianapolis, where there are 15 centers.
In 1975, Pauley first met Garry Trudeau, her husband. Her co-host Tom Brokaw introduced them at a dinner party he and his wife hosted because she was new to the “Today” show. Ability Magazine quoted Pauley as saying, “It was absolutely a setup.”And it did work!
Fabiosa says that despite this, Pauley didn’t know who he was when they met. Before getting married on June 14, 1980, they had been together for five years.
Trudeau and Pauley have been married for 41 years today. They have two grandchildren in addition to the twins Rickie and Ross, and their youngest son, Thomas.
Their careers have been equally successful. Naturally, Pauley went from “Today” to “Dateline NBC,” her own short-lived “The Jane Pauley Show,” back to “Today,” and finally, according to IMDb, to her current position at “CBS This Morning.”
