CBSN
Katy Tur is known to millions as an anchor at MSNBC. Now, in a revealing interview with correspondent Tracy Smith for "CBS Sunday Morning," Tur talks about her childhood, growing up in the media, and her new warts-and-all memoir, "Rough Draft." The interview will be broadcast on "CBS Sunday Morning," June 12 on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
Tur, who is married to "CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil, grew up in Los Angeles with her parents, Bob Tur and Marika Gerrard, who in the 1980s and '90s reported from a helicopter. The couple, sometimes with Katy and brother James in tow, covered some of the biggest events of their time, from riots to wildfires.
"When I was a kid, they were the coolest people in the world," Tur told Smith. "We had a helicopter. I got to go up in a helicopter. I knew how to fly a helicopter. … It was a really unique and interesting childhood that nobody else had."
