When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, A Second Look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. You're listening to Comedy Central.

Hey everybody, Trevor Noah here. So I just wanted to let you know that we at the Daily Show have decided, ah, don't touch your face. We have the Daily Show have decided that we're not going to be having shows next week. We won't be recording anything from the studio because we're trying to do our part to socially distance ourselves. I've been reading up a lot on this. I know it's confusing. There's a difference between social distancing and quarantine and social distancing means you try and keep yourself away from people as much as possible, six to ten feet if you have to be in public, but let's try stay away from bars and closed restaurants. I know some people have to eat and when you're going to eat you're going to eat but let's try because the longer we stay out there, the longer coronavirus remains

a threat and the longer the medical system really struggles or will struggle with the the ind ind decision the ind decision the ind decision the ind decision decision in decision in decision in decision in decision in decision in decision in decision in decision in decision the ind ind decision the ind decision the ind decision the ind decision thereat and the longer the medical system really struggles or will struggle with the indecision I guess we have burdened with it. So stay home, stay safe, wash your hands, face time your friends and hopefully we'll see the other side of this. Other than that though, let's stay in good spirits. It feels like the end of the world but I don't think it really is and I think we can try and help it not be the end of the world if we follow the instructions of health care professionals. So oh yeah and another thing. Stop hoarding everything guys. You don't have to buy all need toilet paper people need food if we all panic nobody has anything and if nobody has anything then there's no more panic

It becomes a vicious cycle so be considerate of others take what you need leave the shop and let's let's act like we live in a community not just by ourselves I'll be touching base during the week. We'll be making videos here and there. I don't know how funny they'll be. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th the the the the the the the th the the the the the the the the the th the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thu. thu. the the the the tooo. to. tip. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the touching base during the week.
