60 Minutes: Sesame and the IRC join forces to help Syrian Refugee Children!

In 2017, Sesame Workshop and The International Rescue Committee teamed up and won a $100 million grant to "make measurable progress toward solving a significant problem of our time."

Sunday night, 60 Minutes aired a segment chronicling Sesame Workshop and The IRC's efforts since then to help young Syrian refugee children, including a new Sesame show.

The whole segment, as well as a transcript, and 60 Minutes overtime video are available at 60 Minutes. 

You can watch the announcement of Sesame Workshop and The International Rescue Committee's team up, and well as the Overtime video below:

RIP Morley Safer!

CBS news legend, Morley Safer has died at age 84. He was the longest-serving correspondent in 60 Minutes' history - joining the show in 1970.

9 years later, Safer went behind the scenes of The Muppet Show for 60 Minutes. The piece was re-aired in 1990 after Jim Henson's death.

He filed his last piece (number 919!) for 60 Minutes in March, and his retirement was just announced last week. Safer said, "It's been a wonderful run, but the time has come to say goodbye to all of my friends at CBS and the dozens of people who kept me on the air."

His contribution to journalism will be greatly missed.
