Howser, the host of TV's "California's Gold," retired from the show at the end of November. The show was broadcast on public television stations. Howser died Sunday night from "natural causes," according to KCET.

Howser moved to Los Angeles in 1981. The Tennessee native worked at a television station in Nashville before serving in the Marine Corps.

He worked at WCBS in New York before moving to LA. "California's Gold" became the best known of Howser's magazine-style TV shows about his travels in the state, but he also hosted "Visiting with Huell Howser," "Road Trip with Huell Howser" and other programs.

He was known for his affable style during his behind-the-scene interviews at resturants, businesses and other locations throughout the state.
