60 Minutes has been on the air since 1968, beginning on a Tuesday, but spending most of its time on Sundays, where it remains today. This popular news magazine provides both hard hitting investigations, interviews and features, along with people in the news and current events. 60 Minutes has set unprecedented records in the Nielsen's ratings with a number 1 rating, five times, making it among the most successful TV programs in all of television history. This series has won more Emmy awards than any other news program and in 2003, Don Hewitt, the creator (back in 1968), was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Emmy, along with the 60 Minute correspondents. Added to the 11 Peabody awards, this phenomenally long-lived series has collected 78 awards up to the 2005 season and remains among the viewers top choice for news magazine features.

List of episodes

S58E15 - Minneapolis | Inside CECOT | Salties

Minneapolis – Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Minneapolis, MN, on the tense confrontations between federal immigration officers and residents following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Andy Court, Annabelle Hanflig, Camilo Montoya-Galvez, and Michael Rey are the producers. 

Inside CECOT – Last year, the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador, a country most had no ties to, claiming they were terrorists. This unusual move sparked an ongoing legal battle, and ten months later, the U.S. government still has not released the names of all those deported and placed in CECOT, one of El Salvador's harshest prisons. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with some of the now-released deportees, who describe the brutal and torturous conditions they endured inside CECOT. Oriana Zill de Granados is the producer.

Salties – Australian wildlife is varied and, at times, deadly. The most feared reptile is the saltwater crocodile, an apex predator that can grow to 20 feet and can crush a human skull with its jaw. Reporting from Australia's crocodile country, CBS News' Holly Williams takes a close look at Australia's "salties," who are protected by law, and reports on the recent surge in friction with its human neighbors. Erin Lyall is the producer.

S58E16 - Minneapolis | The Far Side of the Moon | Boom Chicago

Minneapolis – As the killing of Minnesota resident Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents has sparked fresh outrage in the state and across the country, some lawmakers have pushed back on the Trump administration's explanation for DHS's aggressive tactics and called for an independent investigation. Correspondent Scott Pelley interviews Sen. Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, who summoned top DHS immigration officials to testify later this month. Pelley also speaks with former Justice Department and DHS investigators about the state of the federal probe. Maria Gavrilovic, Aaron Weisz, and Nicole Young are the producers. 

The Far Side of the Moon  – Leading up to Artemis II – NASA's first human mission to the Moon in more than 50 years - correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on this critical step forward in American space exploration. Whitaker interviews the four astronauts who will embark on the 10-day mission, which could pave the way for a sustained presence on the Moon and lay the groundwork for future missions to Mars. Marc Lieberman is the producer.

Boom Chicago – If you think America's top laugh factories are only in New York, Chicago, and LA, think again. Reporting from Amsterdam, correspondent Jon Wertheim takes us inside Boom Chicago, an English-language improv theater founded in the early '90s by two American comics. What sounded like a punchline became a pipeline, launching future stars like Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Amber Ruffin, Brendan Hunt, and Jason Sudeikis. At a moment when American comedy feels under siege, this beloved Dutch theater keeps proving that funny survives—and travels. Michael Gavshon is the producer.
