In 2008, just four years after leaving NBC News, Jane Pauley gave the maximum allowed donation to Barack Obama and campaigned for him, proclaiming “I want to see the cool, steady hand of Barack Obama on that Bible on Inauguration Day” and predicted Obama will be “an exceptional” President. On March 9, 2010 Pauley reappeared on the Today show, which she co-hosted from 1976 to 1989.

In 2015, she joined CBS News where, in 2016, she became host of CBS News Sunday Morning.
