Quick Information

David Begnaud braved one of the strongest hurricanes to ever land on earth and was also there to report the deadliest shooting in US history at Pulse Night Club in Orlando, Florida. Those breaking news catapulted him to the level where he became known as one of the best-loved TV anchors. 

He is a CBS News correspondent in Dallas and joined CBS News in August 2015. Before that, he was based in Miami and moved to the channel’s Dallas bureau in January 2017.

His first step in journalism was in his state of Louisiana working for KLFY-TV as a weekend anchor and reporter when he was still in college. He was just 18 at that time.

Before working in CBS, Begnaud worked as a Los Angeles-based correspondent for Newsbreaker at ORA TV. He also contributed regularly for Entertainment Tonight. Before that, he worked for KTLA in Los Angeles from 2010 to 2012 and for KOVR in Sacramento from 2007 to 2010.

He has appeared across many CBS News broadcasts and in different platforms like "CBS This Morning," "48 Hours," the "CBS Evening News, "CBS Sunday Morning" and CBSN, CBS News' 24/7 streaming news service.

In 2018, he also covered Hurricane Florence at Beaufort, North Carolina, where winds were gusting up to 90 MPH.

The following tweet shared by David showcases his mother’s love for him. Back on 14 September 2018, David shared on Twitter a text he received from his mother as he covered Hurricane Florence. The concern her mother showed on that tweet was pretty bittersweet!

In the caption, he wrote ‘I knew it was coming. A text from Mom. Goodnight’. He then included a screenshot of the text sent by his mother, ‘Why are you always in the worst location? Just watched your evening piece and I “JUST DONT GET IT.’

The above tweet subtly hints that David will always be his mother’s ‘little boy’. Other than his own parents, he is very close to his relatives; his aunts, nieces and other members of his extended family occupy a big part of his life.
