CBS has already picked up the format for this spring, and we're also spending a few hundred thousand dollars making our own broadcast-quality pilot of the all-new Catchphrase.

We value the loyalty this bowl has shown us. In this case, we know what we have in this bowl game and we like that. We know it's going to be there over a long period of time. We also like that the bowl works really well on TV. It looks great. The stadium, the surroundings, the weather is always pretty good ... All those things together make it a really good fit for CBS Sports.

We are looking forward to being part of a network driven by the exceptional talents at both CBS and Warner Brothers Entertainment.

I announced last year that I won't be touring again. But CBS has given me the opportunity to take my music to the people in a new way, to have the fun of performing live, and to do it in such a way that I don't have to be away from home for long periods of time. It's going to be fun.

I was working for a Swedish TV show - I'm Swedish - who basically did kind of spectacular stories. It was almost like CBS '60 Minutes,' but a Swedish version where we actually did travel quite a lot. After a while, I realized that travel is the most fun part of this, so why not do it for a longer time and just go off and explore?

I was very uncomfortable in the habit-all that starched white stuff. I smoked at the time and used to love to walk down the halls of CBS with a cigarette dangling out of my mouth. People were just aghast.

My dad, Bob Blum, used to dash across Grand Central's main terminal catwalk several times daily as a young CBS correspondent, running copy from newsroom to studio and back - because CBS' first broadcasts were from Grand Central Terminal. The pictures on people's television sets used to shake when the trains came in!

My 40 years with CBS News have been a fascinating voyage of discovery. Thirty-seven years with '60 Minutes' have given me the chance to travel the globe, meet and report on world issues, and broadcast what I've learned to an audience at home that had long trusted CBS News reporters like Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevareid.

My wife expects me to be on a plane to Rome for the CBS screening of the CBS TV movie about Pope John Paul . The screening is at the Vatican on the 17th, and I've got to be on the plane on the 16th, so I'm hoping we can conclude the deal by the 15th, which is deadline, so I can please Hideki and please my wife ? and meet the pope.

I left 'The Bob Newhart Show,' which was my decision. CBS wanted it to go on. But I could see television changing; I could see the tastes were changing.
