Nancy Giles

Contributor, CBS News Sunday Morning

(CBS)  Nancy Giles has been a contributor to the Peabody Award-winning CBS News Sunday Morning since 2003, voicing her opinions on everything from politics and race to pop culture and the conspiracy of high heels.

As an actress, she was in the ensemble cast of ABC-TV's Emmy Award-winning series "China Beach," and was the announcer and sometimes co-host of "Fox After Breakfast." On film: "Joshua," the documentary "Before the Music Dies," "True Crime," "Working Girl," and "Big." On radio: "The Jay Thomas Morning Show" (New York City), and "Giles and Moriarty" with CBS News correspondent Erin Moriarty (Philadelphia). "G&M" won back-to-back "Gracie" Awards (American Women in Radio and Television) for Best Talk Show. You've also heard her voice on commercials, animated series, and subliminally in plus-size clothing stores.

Nancy toured with Chicago's Second City, won a Theatre World Award for "Mayor: The Musical" Off-Broadway, and has written and performed two solo pieces: "Black Comedy: The Wacky Side of Racism" and "Notes of a Negro Neurotic." She's adapting that material, essays, and other embarrassing stories for a book she's praying people will buy.

Nancy,

As I voice over artist, I listen to and for the voices I hear on tv/radio. I've heard you everywhere! I have been trying for years to get an agent and thought you might have some advice for me. Voice agents don't seem to want you unless you're already known.

Can you offer any suggestions? I eagerly await your answer.

Hi Nancy,

I just wanted to thank you for all the good wishes you gave my daughter today. She will be starting college this January and keep pursuing her voice in opera. It has been very hard for our family but we all know it's for the best. Thanks again!

Hi Nancy. I have been watching Sunday Morning for over 25 years. You are one of my favor contributors to date. No matter what subject matter you choose to comment on, I agree with you. At the end of every one of your pieces I just think about how on point you are. Last weekends piece was particular that way, so I decided to take the time to tell you.

This is the first time I've ever wrote for anyone on TV. That's how strongly I feel about what you have to say. Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you, Judi

Nancy -

I really enjoy your segments on Sunday Morning - Have you ever followed a political cartoonist with the Las Vegas Sun by the name of Mike Smith? You two would be an excellent team. If you ever do a segment on those who make their living by drawing out what we're all thinking - he would be your match.

You forgot to mention the most important point: Obama was misleading the audience (America) with half-truths. But, that would have changed your whole report.

Your piece on Civility this a.m. made me sad, but made me smile so I came to this spot to give you a gold star from an old, retired teacher. On reading many of the comments, I grew sadder. The Honorable Joe Wilson is not. His outburst crossed the lines of many - lines that have been pushed beyond their limits by so much rude, uncivil behavior throughout this country to include Members of Congress booing the former President. These are suppose to be our Representatives - suppose to represent us! Joe Wilson certainly does not represent me. I have manners. Those who maintain that we cannot complain about The Honorable Joe Wilson because we did not complain when President Bush was booed cannot hear mannered voices for the din. Their lines may not be crossed till chairs are being thrown.

Dear Mz Giles,

I watched your segment this morning on your opinion of our Presidents speech to the students. It made me chuckle. I appreciate your subtlety, or is it not so subtlety when you give us your opinion. I have been a fan of CBS this morning since I was a youngster, and I had to admit to my friend that at first I didn't appreciate your opinions. Now, however, I greatly admire you and your opinions regardless if I agree or disagree with you. I think as I matured I appreciated your strength, you abilites, and your humor. Thank you for that. If I knew you I would hug you for your last report on the President. Brilliant. You always give me something to talk about. Again, thanks...you are greatly appreciated!
