You're listening to Comedy Central. 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 on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the

Daily Social Distancing Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Today is Tuesday, the 6th of October. And if you're watching in New Mexico right now, tonight is your last chance to register to vote. So if you want to vote, then go to this website and register before midnight. And if you don't live in New Mexico, you only have an hour to move to New Mexico and register to vote. There's no time to pack. Just grab your keys. Go now! Go! Anyway, on tonight's show, why America should be grateful that Donald Trump has corona? Roywood Jr. gets his vote suppressed and how America's presidents have been lying about being healthy for 200 years. So let's do this people. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show.

From Trevor's couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world. This is the daily social distancing show with Trevor Noah. Let's kick things off by talking about some of the stories that we can't really spend time on today because Donald Trump still has COVID-19. For example, gay people taking over the proud boy's hashtag with photos of themselves showing off their gay pride. I don't care what anyone says. This is great.

I'm glad the internet is doing more troll white supremacist viral challenges and fewer eat something that will cause violent diarrhea challenges. There's also the news about how the CDC is finally acknowledging that the coronavirus can linger in the air after an infected person leaves the room. So it's the the the the the the the the the the the th, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho-i, tho-i, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, acknowledging that the coronavirus can linger in the air after an infected person leaves the room. So it's kind of like a fart. Only this time it's actually silent but deadly. Not to mention, Mike Pence is now refusing to stand behind Plexiglass at his debate with Kamala Harris tomorrow, which just blows my mind because forget Plexiglass. After what we've seen at the White House this past week, the only place Pence should be allowed to debate is from inside an aquarium made of Purel. But like I said, people, we can't really talk about those stories today because Donald Trump is back at the White House.

Yep, he did that thing that tough guys do in the movies where they tear the ivy out of their arm and say, I'm checking myself out of this hospital. And then he very carefully walked down the stairs to his car. I mean, just look at how he pats the banister like it's a puppy. That's a guy who thinks it looks weak to hold on to something, but also needs to reassure himself-the-clock medical attention at home is not exactly a flattering story. But sick man kicks virus and can never get sick again? Now, that's a good story.

I just left Walter Reed Medical Center, and I learned so much about coronavirus. And one thing that's for certain, don't let it dominate you. Don't be afraid of it. We're going back, we're going back to work, we're going to be out front. As your leader, I had to do that.

I knew there's danger to it, but I had to do it. I stood out front, I led. Nobody that's a leader would not do what I did. And I know there's a risk, there's a danger, but that's okay. And now I'm better, and maybe I'm immune. I don't know. Maybe I'm immune. Maybe I'm Spider-Man. And I can shoot webs out of my wrist. Who knows? Pee-pue. Pee-pue.

What the hell kind of a thing is that to say? Maybe I'm immune? I don't know. It sounds like the last thing a frat bro says right before he drinks the toilet water for 20 bucks. But I mean, at least now we know how Trump is going to try to spin this whole episode. You know? It's not that he was so reckless and ignorant that he got himself and possibly many other people dangerously sick, it's that as a leader, he was brave enough to confront the virus head on. Just like the only way to study marine biology is to get eaten by a walrus. And now that I think about it, it's actually an amazing excuse.

Yeah, from now on, I'm definitely pretending dumb shit that I do is actually brave leadership. Guys, I had to accidentally eat too many edibles and freak out in the park because if I didn't confront those talking squirrels, who would? And of course, Trump being Trump, every second of his return to the White House, was choreographed for maximum television impact. This morning, President Trump is back at the White House. The President stood on a balcony and removed his mask in a dramatic gesture. A double thumbs up, a salute and no mask.

The president is going inside those doors and then he comes back out still without a mask on, apparently to re-shoot his entrance into the White House. It's about four people within close proximity of the president who, of course, like we said, is not wearing a mask. This is part of this staged entrance that the president is making where he wants to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be back to be back to be back to be back to be back the the the the the the the the the the the the to be the the the the the the the the salute. A the the the the the the their. A their. A their. A their. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. the the the the the the the th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. the. the. the. th. the. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the th who of course, like we said, is not wearing a mask. This is part of this staged entrance that the president is making where he wants to be back at the White House. God damn! The dude ripped his mask off the second he got home. And I know Trump thinks this is a triumphant moment, but he's presumably still

riddled with COVID. And he's about to walk indoors and expose it to everyone inside? Yo, this wasn't a photo-op. It was a biological attack on the White House. I mean, there was a photographer standing right next to him. That dude is basically the world's unluckiest Instagram boyfriend. I honestly can't believe this. This is Trump putting his own staff at risk. You would think he would be a lot more careful about protecting his own staff. This is coronavirus.

Not a prison sentence. You can't just pardon them afterwards. No more corona. You're good. What? Doesn't work like that? thear. Now, it would be hard to believe that Trump getting infected, going to the hospital,

and then going home once he was slightly less sick is some kind of impressive victory for him. But team Trump wants to go even further. And they're trying to convince you that Trump getting COVID is why you should vote for him. The president has coronavirus right now. He is battling it head on as toughly as only President Trump can. The president by fighting this is kind of leading the way. I mean, he's a general that leads from the front. He's not the the the to to to to the to to to the the t. te te te te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, tm, tm, tm, tmoome, tm. tm. te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te. te. te. te. te. te.e.e. te.e.e. te.e. te. this is kind of leading the way. I mean he's a general that leads from the front. He's not asking people to take risk that he doesn't take. That's what America needs right now. We need somebody who's going to get us to realize that we can live with this risk.

This is like when the general gets wounded by the invisible enemy goes and gets patched up and then gets right back to the front the front the front the front the front the front the front the front the front the front. the front. the front. the front. the front. the front. the the front. the the the the the to the to the to to the the to. to. tooe. tooe. to. to. tooe. too. to. to. to.

U.S. Senator Marshall Blackburn took to Twitter to celebrate. She says, quote, President Trump has once again defeated China. Welcome home. Listen, he has experience as commander-in-chief. He has experience as a businessman. He has experience now fighting the coronavirus as an individual. Those firsthand experiences. Joe Biden, he doesn't have those. Really? Joe Biden doesn't have the experience of being infected with Corona? Man, you almost got to appreciate the balls of the Trump campaign. Who else would come out and say, look, do we rarely

want to vote for someone who understands how masks work? I mean, by that logic, Trump can't understand any issue until he gets his ass kicked by it first. I mean, he should be going around like, how can Joe Biden save the auto industry when he hasn't smashed his hand closed in the trunk? Ah, I'm ready.

Look, man, there's nothing noble about getting corona because you refused to be safe the tha to tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha thua thua thua thui thui thui, thui, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thatu, thu, thu, thu-and thu, I'm true, I'm true, I'm true, I true, I true, I true, I true, I true, I true, I tru, I tru, I tru, I tru, I tru, tru, tru, tru, tr... tru, tru, tru, tru, tru, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, tr man, there's nothing noble about getting Corona because you refused to be safe. But if they're claiming that Trump has gained valuable experience from personally being infected with the coronavirus, well, what exactly is it that Trump has learned? Today, the president sending this message, tweeting, flu season is coming up. Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000 and despite the vaccine, die from the flu. Are we going to close down our country? the country?? the country? to to to the country? to to to to to the country? to the to to to the to to the to to the the the the the the the the the true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true.

Are we going to close down our country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with COVID. In most populations, far less lethal. The President of the United States, comparing it to

the flu yet again, going back to messaging he used in March. Oh, I can't believe we're back to this. It's just like the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. thiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. the. thea' th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

It's just like the flu. We're back to this. How are we back to this? Look, I don't know how it's possible to see all the damage that coronavirus has done this year. Then, get seriously sick from it yourself. And then come out of the hospital and say it's no big deal. It's just like like like like like like thue thue thue thue thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to be in to be in to be in. to be in. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. to be to be. to be to be. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thean. toe. toe. to to to to to to to's no big deal. It's just like the flu.

You know, you would think that somewhere along that journey, Trump would pick up a tiny, tiny bit of knowledge. But hey, maybe he's immune to that, too. I don't know. All right, we have to take a quick break. But when we come back, we'll tell you why hiding information about the President's health is a great American tradition. 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 on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. The most important story in America right now is President Trump's health. and what's weird about that is we don't really know much about it at all. Despite President Trump's tweet that he was feeling

better than he did 20 years ago, serious questions remain about the actual state of his health. People have the right to demand to know more. This is information that the public has a claim to. What does a scan of his lungs show? When did he last test negative for the virus? We've not had a real medical report from this president. This is not a real medical report, a really transparent disclosure. This is not a part as an issue. Everybody should have accurate information about the president's health. I think it's scary for our country.

I think this is like a very unprecedented moment where we really don't know what's going on. This really shows you where we're at right now. People are begging for more information about Trump's body. And part of the reason the secrecy makes everyone nervous is because we all know that if true true true the true the true their their true their their true their true their th. th. th. thi thi thi to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be told. told. told. told. told. told. told. told. told. told. to to to to to true. true. true. true. true. to to to toe. to toe. to to to to to to to to to to cy makes everyone nervous is because we all know that if Trump's lungs were clear, he would never shut up about it. He'd be telling us he has the best lungs ever. They passed all their tests. They're identifying rhinos left and right. Now on the surface, it might seem like like hiding his health problems from the American people is yet another example of Trump breaking the norms of the presidency. You know, like not releasing his taxxxxxxxxx thx th. T thanks thanks th. T thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks th. Thanks thanks thanks th. Thanks thanks thanks th. thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thu. thu-n. thu. the thu-n-up. thu-up. thu-up. th. thu-up. th. th. thu-up. the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. the, th. th. thi. thu. thu. thu. thu. to, to, to, to, thu. to, thu. thu-i. thu-i. thu-n' thu. thu. thu. the presidency. You know, like not releasing his tax returns or eating the Thanksgiving turkey instead

of pardoning it. But it turns out, there's a long history of American presidents keeping health secrets from the public. And it's the subject of another installment of our ongoing segment, if you don't know, now you know. Being president is a weird job. Because in a democracy, the president is the leader of the country, but they're also an employee. So do presidents have the right to keep their health problems to themselves? Well, throughout history, presidents have answered yes.

Eisenhower was the first president to actually open up medical records, but when a bad event happened, they went into a kind of cover-up moan. September of 1955, he was in Colorado and had a massive, I mean, massive heart attack, and instead his personal doctor told the press it was indigestion. After Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, the White House released a photo showing him standing with Nancy Reagan, cropping out a nurse holding a machine connected to a chest to and never revealing how close he came to dying. Kennedy flatly denied his Addison's disease, a hormonal deficiency that can cause fatigue,

low blood pressure, and weight loss. But he had it. While in office, he at times took as many as eight medications a day just to function, including painkillers, stimulants, antibiotics, steroids, hormones. The man was essentially a walking pharmacy. FDR was never transparent about his health. Never. He tried to hide that he used a wheelchair for years and largely got away with it. If secret service agents saw a photographer taking a picture of Roosevelt, say, getting out of his car, they would seize the camera and tear out the film. Damn, FDR's people really went all out to make sure people didn't see him in a wheelchair.

Which kind of makes you wonder what they told people was actually going on. Isn't it weird that we've never seen the president stand up or walk? Yeah, he's lazy of shit, okay? No more questions. Let's move on. I mean, look, at least back then, you could tear out someone's film in their camera. In 2020, the moment someone points a camera at you, you're already a meme. It's like, give me that phone. Give me that phone.

Give me that phone. Give me that. Give me that. Give me that. Give me that. But yes. Throughout American history, administrations did whatever it took to keep secrets

about the president's health. From lying about FDR's wheelchair by confiscating cameras, to lying about Bill Clinton's asthma by hiding his inhaler in a saxophone. In fact, hiding health conditions goes all the way back to Lincoln. I mean, why do you think he was wearing that top hat? Dude had a conjoined twin under there, guys? That's real, right? I saw that on Facebook. In fact, the only American president who didn't get away with it was President Taft.

Man, they spilled all the tea on that guy. Poor dude got stuck in a bathtub once. And we're still talking about it a hundred years later. And then, there's Grover Cleveland, 22nd President and World's Most Adorable Grover. Yeah, I said it adorable Grover. Yeah, said it, Grover, you mutin' smurf. When it came to keeping secrets, President Cleveland took it to a whole new level. It's hard to imagine an American president dropping out of sight for nearly a week. But that's exactly what happened in 1893, when Grover Cleveland underwent secret cancer surgery.

Back in 1893, Grover Cleveland actually had a cancerous tumor in the roof of his mouth. He didn't want anybody to know, so they snuck him onto a yacht. He had a friend who owned a yacht, so the cover story would be, I'm just going on a fishing trip. And while they were on that boat, the operation took place. Six doctors were recruited, they were all sworn to secrecy. And in about 90 minutes, they removed most of his upper left palate, five teeth, and a good part of his upper left jaw as well. They managed to keep the press at bay. They kept them at a distance from his home on Cape Cod,

until the wound was healed well enough. It took about three weeks. And then he was fitted with a prosthetic device that he could pop up into his upper left ta the the toe toe the the ta ta the ta ta the the ta ta the the for 24 years. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Nobody heard from the president for three weeks? What a dream! But, God damn, that's a major cover-up. Grover Cleveland basically invented that move that celebrities do when they get secret butt implants. Oh, yeah, I've just been away traveling for a couple weeks. Oh, my? Yeah, I guess it did get twice as big. You know how vacations are.

And if you ask me, it's hard to imagine a riskier situation for a president. Surgery on a boat in 1893? And don't forget, they had dragons back then. President Cleveland was a sitting duck out there. I saw that on Facebook. That's a real thing, right? Honestly, I don't even know why Cleveland went through all this trouble. If I were a president with a fake jaw, I would own that shit, baby. I would use it to intimidate other foreign leaders. Oh, what's that, China? You're going to put sanctions on us? Well, check this out. And look, maybe it's not a big pre problem the problem the problem the problem the problem thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiolininininininin' thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin' thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. theee. theeeeeean. theeeean. thean. theeean. thean. the. the. the. the. this out. Ah! And look, maybe it's not a big problem if a president hides some dental work or a mild pill addiction. I mean, as long as they can still do the job, what's the difference?

But there was also one case of a president who got so sick that he couldn't do the job, and they still didn't tell the American people. Woodrow Wilson had a stroke that not even his closest advisors knew about. His last year and a half, almost a year and a half in office, he was incapacitated. His wife tried to conceal how bad it was. It turns out he was partially blind. He was partially paralyzed. He was lying upstairs in a bed and the White House growing a beard, and they pretended that it was not that bad. His wife and his doctor told the cabinet and told the vice president,

he's okay, we got this, you just can't see him. He's in seclusion upstairs and we'll pass down his decisions. They told the public their leader was suffering from exhaustion. Many say Edith Wilson effectively ran the country during that time. Holy shit! You guys act like this is some fun little quirk of American history, but y'all had a straight-up coup. And also, a secret woman president? Guys, that's huge.

Why don't people talk about this more? Who run the world? Girls, but only behind the scenes while getting none of the credit, girls. So yes, America has a proud history of its presidents misleading the public about their health. So from now on, when you hear Trump or his doctors withholding medical information, don't stress, because in a way, this might actually be the most presidential thing Donald Trump has ever done.

And if you don't know, now you know. It's time for us to take a short break, but don't go away. Because when we come back, Roywood Jr. goes postal, and Jason Sudezis is still on the show. Don't go away. You see, all these examples of presidents who had poor health and also received poor health care. Poor James Garfield, he got shot in Washington shortly after he took office in 1881. So many doctors put their fingers in the wound to try to find out where the bullet went

that an infection developed and that was what actually killed him. Harding had such terrible heart failure, but his White House doctor was an old family friend from Ohio. He was a homeopath. He liked to prescribe pills by color, and so if Harding was having some kind of problem, he might say take two pink pills. 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, starting September 17, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Yesterday the US Supreme Court upheld a law in South Carolina that requires mail in voters

to have their absentee ballot witnessed by one other person, which in these days of pandemic isolation is going to make it hard for some people to vote at all. It turns out though South Carolina isn't the only state making it more difficult for people to vote by mail and you're asking how that can be? Well our very own Roywood Jr. has more. The Supreme Court approving a request from South Carolina to reinstate a law requiring a to reinstate a law requiring a absentape to have a witness's signature. But not all states are a witness's signature. The Supreme Court approving a to notariz-a th th th th th to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their to to to to to their to to to to to to to bea to bea to bea to bea to bea to bea the the ora to bea to bea to bea toe. toe 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 to vote. Iuu. Iu. Ime. Imoooooooooooooooooooooan.auuu.au.au.au.au.au.au.au.au.au.au.au Carolina to reinstate a law requiring absentee ballots to have a witness's signature. The process of notarizing your absentee ballot in Missouri has also been closely watched by local civil rights groups. Voters in Texas are confused about what exactly is

allowed in our state. If you put on your application that you want to vote by mail because of COVID, that application must be rejected. Damn! States like Texas and South Carolina really are actively limiting absentee voting. To find out more, I spoke with Myrna Perez, an expert in American voting rights. Madam Perez, uh, bring me up to speed real quick.

Where are we with voting by mail in this country right now? We're going to have some glitches, but every state in the country has a vote by mail process. We have been using vote by mail since the Civil War, but we still have a handful of states that are going to put barriers in front of the ballot box forcing people to choose between their health and exercising their fundamental right to vote. Why are some states like Texas making it so hard for people to vote by mail. I think there's no other explanation other than they're worried about how their own voters are going to vote. Ah, it makes perfect sense.

The people in charge of voting making sure that people can't vote. It feels very American to me. And what a surprise. Turns out most of the states pushing back against vote by mail, by Republicans. But maybe I'm not giving Republicans to benefit of the doubt because if you ask them, they'll say there's a perfectly good reason for limiting absentee ballots. President Trump has warned for months that expanded voting by mail because of the pandemic will lead to massive voter fraud. There will be extraordinary confusion and chaos in the aftermath. It is open to fraud and coercion. A postman in a very Republican district, for example,

could throw out every ballot that he gets. There'll be no ramifications for that. We all know that rogue mail can be dangerous. But do these claims legit? Kim Wyman, one of the OGs of vote by mail, says her state's system is proof that voting by mail works. Our state votes entirely by mail and we have since 2011. So we mail every voter that's eligible, a ballot about 20 days before election day and then they get to vote when it's convenient for them.

Why should I trust your process? Why should the other 49 states trust what you're doing? Because we have spent about 20 years really fine-tuning it, building in the security measures so when people attack it and call it into question and say there's fraud we can demonstrate that it's secure and we can show how it really empowers everyone to participate. Have you to to tell your Republican colleagues in other states about this? Because they don't seem too interested in expanding vote by mail. Well we've been working with all 50 states and and and and and the the the the the the the the the the the the their their the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. the state. their their their their their their their the state. te. tie. tie. tha.

So. So. So, te. So, te. te. te. te. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea and certainly different states are in different places in terms of technology and their capacity for mail in voting.

But, you know, I think every one of my counterparts wants to empower their voters, give them options to be able to choose to vote at home or vote in person. And I'm confident by November they'll be ready.

I think they sent you the voicemail? Check with Texas. I will. Wyman, a Republican, insists this should not be a partisan issue and yet it seems like it is. Colorado's Secretary of State Jenna Griswall has another word for it. That is voter suppression. Trying to make it harder for Americans to use the best way to vote during a pandemic is voter suppression. We shouldn't be forcing Americans to

risk their health to cast a ballot. A lot of Republicans don't like vote by mail and they use the argument of ballot tampering and you know you can take the ballot and thattry out the ballot the ballot th and th and th and th and the ballot that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the that the the the the the tho that that the that tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the their the the the the the the the the the that. that. that. that. that. that. to to to to toe and toe and toe and toe. toea. toeat. toea. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooo. their their their health to cast a ballot. A lot of Republicans don't like vote by mail and they use the argument of ballot tampering and you know you can take the ballot and throw them out in the trash somewhere. So what do you say to those critics? I'll tell you Colorado shows the opposite. In two out of our three last general elections, more Republican voters have used a male ballot then Democrats. Wait so Republicans are fighting to stop something that statistically has worked to their advantage in some states. You know that's totally true. I would call that biting the hand that feeds you but it seemed like

Republicans just ate the whole damn arm. So it's voter suppression, plain and simple. But with only weeks left until the election, is there anything we can do to ensure people's ability to vote? Listen, Madam Secretary, what you are doing is amazing. You have my full support. It's just too bad that there's nothing I can do to help, but good luck. The good news for you, Roy, is that you can actually sign up to be a poll worker. Oh, you mean work at the, what day?

What day is election day? That's a Tuesday, November? First Tuesday. Yeah, I'm not open. I'm sorry. But it's okay, Roy, we have early voting. Are you available on October 19th? Get it! Roy, I know you're not frozen.

How about November 2nd? I'm frozen. I'm frozen. For the love of God, make sure you check with your states to vote by mail this year. Thank you so much for that, Roy. Thank you so much for that, Roy. All right, when we come back, I'll be talking to the one and only Jason Sudez. Don't go away.

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. You're rolling? 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 17, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. So earlier today, I spoke with actor and comedian Jason Sudeakis. He's got an incredible new show on Apple TV Plus about an American who goes to England to run a soccer team. Yeah, thank you, thank you for joining me. Welcome to the Daily Social Distancing show. Thank you very much for having me. It's good to be six feet apart. This is so amazing. I've learned so many things about you from this Apple Plus documentary. Like I didn't know

that you went to coach a football team in England. Explain this story to me because I was watching this documentary and I was like, man, this is crazy. Jason Sudacus just went to England. I don't even know when you went. And all of a sudden you were coaching, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, th. to, th. to, to, th. to, th. C Richmond I hadn't even heard of them I was like this is an amazing story. Okay I see what's going on now yeah that's a television program that's not that's actually not a documentary you might be thinking of all or nothing on Amazon but the thing on Apple Plus that's a that's a that's a narrative show that we wrote that wea that th we're th we're th we're th we're th th th we're th th. th. th. th. th. th.

That's not my name. So that's like a, in soccer people have names, like, Ronaldinho, that's not his name. I mean, like, I think that is his name.

I'm pretty sure that is that. It's like, it's like, it's like Pele, it's like, Pele, it's like. It's like, it's like, it's like, it. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

No, this is very flattering. I'll tell you how I know it's a documentary, because I saw this fans in the crowd, it's real soccer matches. No, they call thrown, the television program, which you watch, which is not a documentary. So, okay, wait, wait, let me get this straight. So, are you saying everybody in the show is an actor?

Yeah, everybody, yeah. Like, everybody is an actor? Uh, with the players are actors? Yes. Yes. You, you, you are acting. The owner of the the fans are acting? Yes, oh boy, are they ever? Yeah, they were probably watching little to nothing. Like that's, they were probably the best actors of the bunch.

How did you make it seem like there were giant soccer matches happening if they weren't giant soccer matches happening? Right. Okay. Well, we hired people to pretend to be the other teams. We hired, you know, people to pretend to be part of Man City, Manchester City. We hired cameraman, you know, to film it. Jason, I know how TV is made. I'm not an idiot, okay?

I don't know what more to tell you here. I mean, there's like an opening title sequence. There's like a song Marcus Mumford sings a song. Well, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, the song, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. I's, t, t, t, t, t, t, th. So, th. So, th. I I I I I I I I's, th. I's, th. I's, thi. I's, thi. And, thi, thi, thr. And, thr. And, thr.a. We's, toda.a.a.a.a.a. We's, ta.a.a.a.a.a. We's, ta. We's,there's a song that plays before the news. Like, before I watch CNN, they'll be like, Papa, Papa, this is CNN. Yeah, but it's not, yeah, but they don't show Anderson Cooper like sitting down in a chair and like, you know, there's a whole. Okay, so let's just say this was a, let's Even though you're in it. It's your face, your facial hair, you're talking to players. So what is the story about? It's about Ted Lassow? Is that his name? Ted Lassow?

And he's this American guy who goes to England to become a coach of a team and he knows nothing about the sport? Yeah, bingo. You got it. told. too. that's it's, b in, you. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. tode. toda. to. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. thing. And you thought it was a doc? I mean, that's, yeah, well, I mean, that's why I was like, it got renewed for a second season. I was like, of course it gets renewed for a second season. I was like, we want to see more of where this ends up. Because I want to see, more of where this ends up. Because I was like, I want I don't know. Do you have an Apple TV? Do you know what happens when you watch a show? You click on the thing? As soon as it gets to the last scene, it's like, do you want to see the next episode? You go, yes, who watches credits, Jason?

Even if you're watching on like cable TV, the credit, No, I mean, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. Very few people do. Look, from my perspective, that's just a compliment, that you thought I was really doing it. And yeah, I have to take it at that point. I mean, is this after a lot of wine? Do you watch a lot of TV after like, you know, like, I feel, I. That's a very personal question to ask me on like a life. You could ask me this after the interview.

I'm in my home, you know, like. But I mean like why, now I feel like that's like a personal dig at me as a person. Why would that be a dig? Are you a drunk TV watcher? I mean, you said in a very classy way, but what you said to me is, are you a drunk watch TV? Are you depressed? Are you're a drunk, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, I meant where your defense is down, where you know, it was the self-editor inside of all of us, was that little voice maybe, you know, chilled out? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't be no veritas. Maybe even your appreciation, maybe I'm being, you know, self-effacing, a little humble think you. I thought it was a thobo, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, you, you, thi, you, thi, you, you, you, thi, you're, thi, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're their, their, you're, you're, you're, their, their, their, their, their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, you their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the self, the self, the self, the self, the self-a, the self-a, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thiii. thin, their, their, their, their, their, their going to let you take that away from me. Your show is made in such a real heartfelt way that I thought it was a documentary.

And I'm willing to take that. I'm the kind of person in therapy. I've learned that I can admit when I've made a mistake. My ego doesn't block me. I made a mistake. I'm sorry that your show is so amazing that your that it was a documentary. I'm sorry. I just think maybe you should say that to the people when they click on the thing when they start watching it. You should be like, please know this is a fake show. Because like with Game of Thrones, you know because there's a the dragons. I'm like, this is probably not a real show. It's not like you speak in a British accent, you still, you're American. 100%. I'm super American. Right. Your voice is a little different, but I just thought like maybe you're trying to like ingratiate yourself to you see now now. Now I'm I

As we say in therapy, we may have missed each other on the freeway But we were both driving on the same road true that well said. That's I and I apologize if I may have come off as hostile that was not my intention. Hey, I understand it now that was the sorry for you know insinuating that it was through a drunken stupor that you may have gotten confused. I appreciate that. Yeah, I may have to re-watch this interview. Yeah, I don't have questions because I don't have to have questions because of I thought I was talking to you about a documentary,

so I don't have any questions based on a TV show. So we might have to like reschedu, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to, to, to, to, I, I, I, I, I, to, I, I, I, I, to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th... th. th. th. to, th. to, to, to, th. to, th. th. th. tha. tha. tha. tha. toa. to. th. to, th. th. th. th. th. th. to like reschedule, maybe we do like another interview sometime, and then I can ask you about it, because I have to go back now and just re-watch the whole thing in like a different emotional state. I mean, I appreciate it. I can't wait to pass it on to folks there. You know, I assume we won't air this interview because this was a mess because this was a mess. You know, I have to fill the time time time 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, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm the, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I I the, I, I, I the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I t.. tap, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I can't tell my buses.
