The 60 Minutes December 29 Episodes Are Not New. They’re Repeats. Previews Revealed
Hey, “60 Minutes” fans. We’re back on here with some not-so-terrific news for you guys. Instead of the usual, new episode of 60 Minutes, the CBS people are going to dish up two repeat episodes tonight, December 29, 2024.
We don’t know why they’re doing this. We just know that they’re doing it. We do have some preview intel for these two repeat episodes straight from the CBS people. So, we will certainly tell you what they have to say for the preview portion of this article. Let’s get to it.
The first repeat episode will feature three segments that have previously aired in the past. The first one is titled, “CUBAN SPYCRAFT.” CBS’ official description for it reads like this, “For decades, prolific Cuban spies working in the U.S. government, serving in high profile positions with top security clearances, have evaded American intelligence officials.
Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Washington, D.C., and Miami on the stories of two such undercover agents, former U.S. ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha and onetime Pentagon official Ana Montes. Cuba continues to supply one of the most dangerous exports to American adversaries around the world: American secrets.”
The second repeat segment is titled, “NVIDIA.” CBS’ description for it reads like this, “This year, computer chip maker Nvidia soared to the top of the stock market, briefly surpassing Apple as the world’s most valuable public company.
Nvidia ushered in the artificial intelligence revolution with its groundbreaking software and graphics processing unit, a chip that enables AI by accelerating the processing power of computers. Correspondent Bill Whitaker meets Nvidia’s CEO and co-founder, Jensen Huang, to discuss the company’s innovations and the rapidly expanding range of AI applications, including drug development, weather pattern prediction and more.”
The 3rd and final repeat segment for tonight’s first repeat episode is titled, “FINDING CILLIAN MURPHY.” CBS’ official description for it reads like this, “Ahead of last year’s Academy Awards, correspondent Scott Pelley joined enigmatic actor Cillian Murphy in Ireland for a candid interview before winning Best Actor in the blockbuster film “Oppenheimer.” Pelley talked to the Oscar winner about how he transforms for roles, acts on instinct and how his Irish identity has defined him.”
The second repeat episode will feature another set of three segments that have already aired in past episodes. The first one is titled, “POPE FRANCIS.” CBS’ official description for it reads like this, “This past May, Norah O’Donnell met Pope Francis for a rare and historic interview at his home, the Santa Marta guest house in Vatican City, a week before the Catholic Church hosted its inaugural World Children’s Day.
The 88-year-old, Argentinian-born pope, the first named Francis and first from the Americas, is known for his dedication to the poor and marginalized, and for being the most unconventional head of the Church in recent memory. He spoke candidly with O’Donnell about the wars in Israel and Gaza, Ukraine, and the migration crises around the world and on the U.S. southern border.
Their wide-ranging conversation also touched upon the Church’s handling of its own sexual abuse scandals; Francis’ deep commitment to inclusivity within the Church; the backlash against his papacy from certain corners of U.S. Catholicism; and an exploration of his thinking on surrogate parenthood.”
The second repeat segment is titled, “NOTRE DAME.” CBS’ description for it reads like this, “Earlier this month, the arched doors of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris opened to the public for the first time since April 2019, when a devastating fire nearly destroyed the great Gothic church.
Correspondent Bill Whitaker had a first look inside a modern miracle of repair and restoration by workers and artisans who made possible French President Emmanuel Macron’s impossible-sounding pledge to complete the rebirth in five years. As Macron told Whitaker, “The decision to rebuild Notre Dame was … about our capacity to save, restore, sometimes reinvent what we are by preserving where we come from.”
The 3rd and final repeat segment for tonight’s second repeat episode is titled, “BUILT BY ANGELS.” CBS’ description for it reads like this, “Correspondent Scott Pelley travels to Ethiopia to witness the Christmas vigil at Lalibela, a mysterious holy place, where churches are situated on a 42-acre site and are said to be built by angels.
Pelley witnesses 200,000 Ethiopian Orthodox Christians who pilgrimage on Christmas Eve to celebrate its origins and speaks with Fasil Giorghis, an Ethiopian architect and historian, who tells Pelley, “Coming here as a devout Christian is a very strong sign of their belief … some people travel hundreds of kilometers here on foot, and they have been doing it for several centuries.”
Again, CBS’ confirmed that they’re airing two repeat episodes of 60 Minutes tonight, December 29, 2024. The first one will start up in the 6 pm central standard time slot. The second will start at approximately 7 pm central standard time.
