Charles Osgood's pre-show promo: "When was the last time you needed a really good excuse? Excuses is the subject of our cover story, so you'll want to stay tuned, because to miss it would be… inexcusable. Also, catch up with television star Tony Danza who is now on Broadway. We'll hear from the man behind some of rock music's greatest hits, Foreigner's Mick Jones. And… we'll bid hail and farewell to those who left us in twenty fourteen. Sunday Morning is coming right up".

Charles Osgood's pre-segment promo: "It's that time of year when we pay tribute to some of the memorable people who won't be joining us for the journey into twenty fifteen {Philip Seymour Hoffman: "These are the best days of our lives"}. What a company of men and women they were — who blessed us with their talents {Lauren Bacall: "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and… blow"}… and their beauty {film of Ruby Dee} and their charm {film of Shirley Temple} {film of Joan Rivers} {film of Geoffrey Holder}… and left us this year… wanting more {film of The Everly Brothers singing}… we say Hail and Farewell — later on Sunday Morning {film of Eli Wallach making a whistling sound}".

Complete list (122 names as broadcast December 28, 2014)

Charles Osgood's introduction: "Some of them made history. Some were footnotes to history. Some helped us to pass the time. Some defined our time. We remember some of those who left us… in the year twenty fourteen".

Robin Williams (July 21, 1951 — August 11, 2014) touched down as if from a distant galaxy, speaking a language we had never heard before [Robin Williams as Mork: "I wouldn't hama-huff on your chomi-cho-cho"], but which we instantly understood. [Robin Williams as Mork: "Catch you next week. Nannoo, nannoo"] He held up his own funhouse mirror for the rest of us, exploring not only comic possibilities, but deeper truths [Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting: "You don't know about real loss, cause it only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself"] [Philip Seymour Hoffman: "These are the best days of our lives"]
Philip Seymour Hoffman (July 23, 1967 — February 2, 2014) plumbed the tangled mysterious depths of the human soul. [Philip Seymour Hoffman in Doubt: "When you are lost, you are not alone"] …in performances so perfectly nuanced, they seemed not performances at all [Philip Seymour Hoffman: "Hello, my name is Truman Capote"] but visitations, and broke our hearts this year when his own fragile soul gave way." [sound of Simon and Garfunkel singing "Hello Darkness My Old Friend"]
Mike Nichols (November 6, 1931 — November 19, 2014) won every entertainment award there is… and one, in nineteen fifty-nine, that doesn't exist [kinescope image: 11th Annual Emmy awards, followed by image of Mike Nichols]: for total mediocrity, presented by his comic partner, Elaine May [Mike Nichols: "No matter what suggestions the sponsor makes, I take 'em"] [Geoffrey Holder: "Ummm… now don't you feel good... about Seven Up? Of course you do…. Hah… hah…hah…"] Goodbye to
Geoffrey Holder (August 1, 1930 — October 5, 2014), an elegant pitchman for Seven Up. He was also a singer, dancer, actor, painter, choreographer, director and costume designer. He gave us Broadway's The Wiz. [photograph from The Wiz with sound of sound of voices singing "Ease on down the road" fades into the Yellow Brick Road scene from The Wizard of Oz] Farewell to
Ruth Robinson Duccini (1918 — January 16, 2014) the last of the female Munchkins who started Dorothy down that Yellow Brick Road in nineteen thirty-nine and, to
Richard Kiel (September 13, 1939 — September 10, 2014), whose enormous size usually got him cast as the bad guy or an alien, monster or the Soviet spy [Richard Kiel: "We can now claim island"] prowling on Gilligan's Island [Alan Hale, Jr. as the Skipper: "You were right, professor"] and, farewell to
Russell Johnson (November 10, 1924 — January 16, 2014) [Russell Johnson: "I.. I don't want to crush your dress." Tina Louise: "Try."] He played the brainy professor on that crazy island of castaways [opening image and finger-snapping musical theme from The Addams Family] Round of snaps for
Ken Weatherwax (September 29, 1955 — December 7, 2014) who played Pugsley on The Addams Family [Florence Henderson: "Alice, you got the mind of a master criminal"] and to
Ann B. Davis (May 5, 1926 — June 1, 2014), Alice on The Brady Bunch [Ann B. Davis: "Well. Alice, you've done it again. What would I do without you?"] and… to
Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (November 30, 1918 — May 2, 2014) who always got his man. [Ralph Waite: "Well... I believe life's a mystery… a sacred one".]
Ralph Waite (June 22, 1928 — February 13, 2014) died this year [Ralph Waite: "All right, I'll better keep my foot out of my mouth".] As patriarch of the Walton clan, he guided his large brood through the Depression days. [voice of Ralph Waite: "Goodnight, children"] Goodnight to you, Ralph Waite. [Shirley Temple dancing with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson] And to you,
Shirley Temple (April 23, 1928 — February 10, 2014). [Shirley Temple singing: "On the goooood ship Lolli--pop..."] You buoyed American spirits during those dark Depression years with your brilliant smile and precocious talent, then walked away from it all and became a successful diplomat [Shirley Temple: "As ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary..."] [Shirley Temple singing] Shirley Temple Black taught us all a thing or two about life. [Mickey Rooney dancing and singing: "Yowdeh!"]
Mickey Rooney (September 23, 1920 — April 6, 2014) tore through life with exuberance, talent and charm [Mickey Rooney: "It's been nice of you to bring your camera. Awfully nice to talk to all of you."]. He could do it all, and he did it all, for most of his ninety-three years [Mickey Rooney to Edward R. Murrow: "Good night... and good luck." Edward R. Murrow to Mickey Rooney: "And the same to you, old boy, hah, hah, goodnight."]. Good night and good luck, Mickey Rooney.
Bob Thomas (reporter) (January 26, 1922 — March 14, 2014) loved the glitter of the Oscars and reported on them for sixty-six years. Goodnight to him. And to
Oscar de la Renta (22 July 1932 — 20 October 2014) who dressed Hollywood's glittering stars. And to
Phil Stern (September 3, 1919 — December 13, 2014) who captured the many moods of Hollywood's glitterati in photographs... that live on.
Lauren Bacall (September 16, 1924 — August 12, 2014), we fell in love with you right from the start. ["You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow".] Bacall died this year at 89, her charm and her beauty intact [Lauren Bacall to James Garner: "I like it here. This is a good idea, Jim".] [Musical theme from The Rockford Files]
James Garner (April 7, 1928 — July 19, 2014), you were one smooth operator. [James Garner: "Right"] He never took acting too seriously, but he was good at it. [James Garner: "Big day today", Nurse: You say that every day, you old devil.] Farewell to you, James Garner. And to you,
James Rebhorn (September 1, 1948 — March 21, 2014) and
Meshach Taylor (April 11, 1947 — June 28, 2014) and you,
Maximilian Schell (8 December 1930 — 1 February 2014) [Maximilian Schell from Judgment at Nuremberg: Ernst Jannings' guilt… is the world's guilt… no more… and no less…"] [close-up of Eli Wallach's unshaven face in a clip from The Good, the Bad and Ugly, as the film's musical theme reverberates in the background] ahhhhn…...
Eli Wallach (December 7, 1915 — June 24, 2014) was an actor's actor, a chameleon who transformed himself countless times over his sixty years on the stage and screen [Eli Wallach to Carroll Baker: "I don' wanna be deprived o' the pleasure o' your company."]. Good night, sweet prince. [Elaine Stritch singing: "There's no business like show business…"] and goodnight to you,
Elaine Stritch (February 2, 1925 — July 17, 2014), unabashed queen of Broadway [Elaine Stritch singing: "Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch…… Everybody rise….."]. [James Gandolfini kisses Polly Bergen in the 2004 "In Camelot" episode of The Sopranos]
Polly Bergen (July 14, 1930 — September 20, 2014), what a beautiful long run you enjoyed. [Ruby Dee in A Raisin in the Sun: "This is my time in life..."]
Ruby Dee (October 27, 1922 — June 11, 2014) [Ruby Dee: "My time…"], your extraordinary talents onstage were inspirational. Offstage, with your husband Ossie Davis, they were even more so. Thank you for showing us all what it means to stand up for what is right. [song: "People get ready, as a train's a'comin'"]
Franklin McCain (January 3, 1941 — January 9, 2014) took his stand when he sat [voice of newscaster: "Four college freshmen, all Negroes, were refused service at a Greensboro, North Carolina lunch counter and the civil rights sit-in was born." Franklin McCain: "There are many people who will plant the seed, but they will never reap the harvest… and I considered myself and my colleagues those people."] Boxer
Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (May 6, 1937 — April 20, 2014) did not set out to become a folk hero [voice of Bob Dylan is heard: "Here comes the story of the Hurricane. The man the authorities came to blame."]. He served nineteen years in prison for crimes he didn't commit . . . convictions that were overturned, finally, in nineteen eighty-five. Rubin Carter died this year, a free man. [voice: "Mr. President"… video of the 1981 shooting of President Reagan and his press secretary James Brady]
James Brady (August 29, 1940 — August 4, 2014) took a bullet meant for President Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty-one and crusaded for gun control for the rest of his life. [James Brady testifying before a Congressional committee: "Well, damn it, don't let the vocal minority dictate your position. Morally, it's the right thing to do."]
Stephanie Kwolek (July 31, 1923 — June 18, 2014) was a DuPont chemist who invented a fiber strong enough to stop a bullet. The Kevlar vest that she made possible has saved thousands of lives. She made our world a little safer.
Ralph Baer (March 8, 1922 — December 6, 2014) made our world a lot more fun. He invented the popular game Simon and… this, the very first video game console, which he demonstrated in nineteen sixty-nine. You really started something, Ralph Baer.
S. Donald Stookey (May 23, 1915 — November 4, 2014) devised a kind of glass that could withstand heat and cold… strong enough to be used in making nosecones for missiles . . . and also for this… the Corningware casserole dish.How many millions of dinners have we enjoyed because of the ingenuity of S. Donald Stookey? The people we lost this year left many gifts to remember them by. Designer
Massimo Vignelli (January 10, 1931 — May 27, 2014) left us maps and signs and logos… elegant, spare and instantly recognizable the world over. [Announcer: "Mrs. Jerrie Mock flies around the world in her single-engine aircraft."]
Jerrie Mock (November 22, 1925 — September 30, 2014) left us a gift of derring-do. She was a housewife from Columbus, Ohio, who became the first woman ever to fly solo around the world in nineteen sixty-four. "It was about time a woman did it", she said. A cheer for you, Jerrie Mock. And for you,
Eileen Ford (March 25, 1922 — July 9, 2014). Your Ford Modeling Agency set the standard for beauty. [Eileen Ford: "She has to have wide-set eyes, a long neck, a slender body and good legs that are long in proportion from the knee to the ground."] [Fanfare for the Common Man is heard in the background]
Alice Coachman (November 9, 1923 — July 14, 2014), you set the bar high and sailed over it in nineteen forty-eight... to become the first black woman to ever to win Olympic gold. When Alice Coachman returned to her segregated hometown in Georgia, the mayor would not shake her hand. "It wasn't any problem for me", she said, "because I had won the thing".
George Shuba (December 13, 1924 — September 29, 2014), reached out his hand to welcome teammate Jackie Robinson home on his first day with the Brooklyn Dodgers farm team. You had class, George Shuba.
Don Zimmer (January 17, 1931 — June 4, 2014) suited up for sixty-six seasons as player, manager, coach and advisor for fourteen teams. He loved baseball with a passion that never dimmed. Au revoir to
Jean Béliveau (August 31, 1931 — December 2, 2014) who led his Montreal Canadiens to ten Stanley Cup championships. A great hockey player and a true gentleman.
Tom Menino (December 27, 1942 — October 30, 2014) was a great mayor for five consecutive terms in Boston. When the Boston Marathon bombing devastated the citizens of his beloved city, Tom Menino rose from his sickbed to speak [Tom Menino: "No adversity, no challenge, nothing can tear down the resilience in the heart of the city and its people."] He had a big heart. [Tom Magliozzi: "Heh, heh, hah, hah, you're asking' the wrong guy!, heh, heh, heh, hah, hah, hah!"]
Tom Magliozzi (June 28, 1937 — November 3, 2014) had a big laugh, which he shared with us every week on the radio, as one half of Click and Clack, the Car Talk guys [each and both: "Don't drive like my brother", "Don't drive like my brother"]. Tom Magliozzi left us, laughing, this year. [clip from Your Show of Shows, with Carl Reiner announcing: "Let us turn back to page one of your story..."]
Sid Caesar (September 8, 1922 — February 12, 2014), Your Show of Shows set the stage for most of the funny business that was to follow [Carl Reiner: "I wonder if you'll tell our audience exactly who this lady is?" Sid Caesar: "I don't know who she is, but it's all right with me."] Hats off to you. [David Brenner: "So then my mother says on the phone, she says, 'David, we're going to give him a decent burial.'" Hats off to you,
David Brenner (February 4, 1936 — March 15, 2014). [David Brenner: "And I thought, what's an indecent burial? What, do you leave his arm out of the ground?"] [Joan Rivers: "We're talking today about being single and being desperate and what do you girls…"] Farewell to
Joan Rivers (June 8, 1933 — September 4, 2014). She was one funny lady. [Joan Rivers: "My parents had a sign up on the lawn: 'Last girl before the turnpike', you know…"] [Don Pardo announcing: "It's Saturday Night Live"…!] And goodbye to
Don Pardo (February 22, 1918 — August 18, 2014) who introduced us to the world's funniest people every Saturday night for nearly 40 years. [Don Pardo announcing: Jan Hooks!] One of those funny people was

Harold Ramis (November 21, 1944 — February 24, 2014) [Harold Ramis: "Don't cross the streams." Bill Murray: "Why?" Harold Ramis: "It would be bad."], the crazy genius behind Ghostbusters. And
Bob Hoskins (26 October 1942 — 29 April 2014), best known for playing second banana to a cartoon. [What, Me Worry... music and song plays, as Mad cover with Alfred E. Neuman is shown] Alfred E. Neuman became Mad magazine's cover boy during editor
Al Feldstein's (October 24, 1925 — April 29, 2014) thirty-year reign. Farewell to him. And to Phyllis Dorothy James White, known to her many devoted readers as
P. D. James (3 August 1920 — 27 November 2014), the queen of crime. "The greatest mystery of all", she said, "is the human heart". Writer

Gabriel García Márquez (6 March 1927 — 17 April 2014) wrote this book, One Hundred Years of Solitude and lots of others. The worlds he created were full of mystery and magic. His novels sold millions of copies, in dozens of languages.

Maya Angelou (April 4, 1928 — May 28, 2014) was a gifted storyteller and a poet. Her voice rang out loud and clear at President Bill Clinton's first inauguration: [Maya Angelou reciting at the inauguration: "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."] Goodbye to
Horace Silver (September 2, 1928 — June 18, 2014) who coaxed a new kind of jazz out of his piano. And thank you,
Ben Bradlee (August 26, 1921 — October 21, 2014), crusading editor of The Washington Post. He gave his reporters the backing they needed to break the story of Watergate. He was a great journalist. [video of Howard Baker speaking at the Watergate Hearings: "What did the president know and when did he know it?"]
Howard Baker, Jr. (November 15, 1925 — June 26, 2014) was a great Senator. He presided over the Watergate hearings with integrity and fair-mindedness.

Hottelet: "Richard C. Hottelet, CBS News, United Nations"].
Ariel Sharon (February 26, 1928 — January 11, 2014) was a fierce fighter for his country and a champion of Israeli settlements. [Ariel Sharon speaking at an outdoor event: "All those communities that we build, they are not obstacle to peace — they are obstacle to war."] In his later years, as prime minister, Ariel Sharon had second thoughts, calling for settlers to withdraw from Gaza and for Israel to pursue a more diplomatic course. He died this year at 85. Shalom. [Photograph of the Trapp Family onstage is accompanied by the sound of their singing]
Maria von Trapp (28 September 1914 — 18 February 2014) died this year — at ninety-nine [singing continues as film of the Trapp children as young people in a mountain village is seen], the last of the singing siblings who fled Nazi-occupied Austria during World War II [film clip of Christopher Plummer, Julie Andrews and young actresses playing three of the youngsters singing: "So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye"]. Their story inspired The Sound of Music. Auf wiedersehen, Maria von Trapp. And hah-go-eh-nay to
