New 60 Minutes September 29 Episode Preview Reveals Vicious Hurricane And More
Hey, “60 Minutes” fans. We’re back in your faces on this beautiful Sunday to let you know that another new episode of 60 Minutes is coming down the pipeline tonight, September 29, 2024. This one will be the 3rd episode of this current season 57, and we’ve got some new preview intel for it to run by you guys.
CBS put out a new, official press release for this new episode 3. So, that is what we’ll be diving into for this preview session. Let’s get to it.
In tonight’s new episode 3, the 60 Minutes team is going to present a total of 4, new segments because this is going to be an extra long, 90-minute episode. That’s right, guys. You’re getting an extra 30 minutes tonight.
The first segment is officially titled, “AFTER THE HURRICANE.” CBS’ official description for it reads like this, “As Hurricane Helene strikes Florida this week, Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the difficult aftermath of another storm in the Sunshine State. In 2022, when Hurricane Ian ripped through Florida, it left behind an estimated $113 billion dollars of damage, and a long trail of litigation.
After a year-long investigation, Alfonsi finds that an estimated 50,000 homeowners affected by Ian are still fighting with their insurance companies to repair or rebuild their homes. Alfonsi interviews insurance insiders and whistleblowers, who are licensed damage adjusters who worked claims during Ian.
They say that several insurance carriers were in some cases using materially altered damage reports that resulted in dramatically lower claim payouts. They say that, after years of dutifully paying premiums, impacted homeowners may not even know if their damage reports were altered. Florida has opened a criminal investigation, but so far, no arrests have been made. Oriana Zill de Granados is the producer.”
The second segment is titled, “VLADIMIR KARA-MURZA.” CBS’ description for it reads like this, “This past August witnessed the largest prisoner exchange between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. Scott Pelley goes behind the scenes of that historic swap through conversations with key players.
He interviews Vladimir Kara-Murza, the Russian opposition leader who spent more than two years in prison for opposing the war in Ukraine. Pelley also speaks with Jake Sullivan, President Biden’s national security advisor, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who discusses his role in the deal for the first time. Maria Gavrilovic and Alex Ortiz are the producers.”
The 3rd segment is titled, “WELCOME TO THE W.” CBS’ description for it reads like this, “In its 27th year, the WNBA is having a breakthrough season. A rookie class, as good as advertised, has made a seamless transition from college to the pros, blending with established stars. Attendance, TV ratings and corporate sponsorships have all spiked as The W has become a fixture in the modern sportscape.
Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, of the Indiana Fever, is the driving force behind this growth, but not the only one. Jon Wertheim speaks to Clark about this signature season, and meets her Fever teammate Aliyah Boston and Minnesota Lynx star veteran Napheesa Collier. Nathalie Sommer is the producer.”
The 4th and final segment for this new episode 3 is titled, “THE MEZCALEROS.” CBS’ description for it reads like this, “Mezcal is having its moment. This handcrafted Mexican spirit, made from agave, has seen exponential growth in popularity and production. For this special two-parter, Cecilia Vega travels to Oaxaca and meets the mezcaleros laboring to quench the world’s thirst for mezcal.
The deeper you travel into Oaxaca’s countryside, the harder mezcaleros cling to their ancestral methods and the louder they’ll tell you: there’s a price to pay for this mezcal boom. Nathalie Sommer and Kaylee Tully are the producers.”
Again, CBS’ press release confirmed that the next, new episode 3 of 60 Minutes’ current season 57 is indeed scheduled to hit your TV sets tonight, September 29, 2024 in the 6:30 pm central standard time slot, or right after CBS’ LIVE coverage of an NFL football game wraps up. Whichever comes first. Again, tonight’s new episode will be 90-minutes long instead of the usual 60 minutes.
Alright, guys. That is a wrap for this latest, “60 Minutes” TV show, preview report, but definitely stay tuned for more.
