CBS Sunday Morning (Nov. 15): JFK mob theory, Macy's at 100, U2 at 50, and a veterans' art program
Did the mob kill JFK?
On a November morning, the long-running CBS Sunday Morning turns its attention to a question that has lingered over the Kennedy assassination for more than sixty years: whether a Chicago crime syndicate and its boss, Sam Giancana, had a hand in the killing. Through the new film "November 1963," and through the voices of its screenwriter, its star, and Giancana's own daughter, the program lays out an alleged thread connecting organized crime to a murder that reshaped the country. Alongside it, the hour gathers stories of art as a path back from trauma, of a century-old parade still forming its future, of a late animator's quiet devotion to younger artists, and of a band marking half a century of making music together.
This Sunday, CBS News Sunday Morning, hosted by Jane Pauley, opens with a question that has trailed the Kennedy assassination for decades: did the mob have a part in it? The cover story centers on the new film "November 1963," which argues that the president's killing was tied to a Chicago syndicate and its boss, Sam Giancana. Correspondent Lee Cowan speaks with the screenwriter, Nicki Celozzi, Giancana's great-nephew; with star John Travolta; and with Giancana's daughter, Bonnie. The film opens in theaters December 4.
Elsewhere, Martha Teichner reports on artist Mary Whyte, whose "watercolor boot camps" help veterans cope with isolation and trauma. Her program now reaches 48 states, offering a way to express themselves and reconnect with fellow vets and their communities.
The hour also features Matt Gutman's first television interview with Billy Evans, partner of Elizabeth Holmes, about his portrayal in the documentary "You Can See Everything," and Mo Rocca's look at the 100th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, from Tony Sarg's century-old balloons to this year's pieces being built in New Jersey. Faith Salie profiles Floyd Norman, the first Black animator at Disney, who kept mentoring long after being asked to retire and is being honored with a lifetime achievement Oscar.
Rounding out the broadcast, Anthony Mason talks with U2 as they celebrate 50 years, and Jo Ling Kent speaks with Min Jin Lee about her new book "American Hagwon." Pauley also introduces The Reader, a new book-review site launching as many newspapers have dropped their review sections.
This Sunday, November 15, CBS News Sunday Morning, hosted by Jane Pauley, leads with a question that has trailed the Kennedy assassination for decades: did the mob do it? The broadcast airs on CBS at 9:00 a.m. ET, and streams on the CBS News app beginning at 11:00 a.m. ET.
The cover story is built around a new film, "November 1963," which posits that the killing of President John F. Kennedy was tied to a Chicago crime syndicate and its boss, Sam Giancana. Correspondent Lee Cowan speaks with the screenwriter, Nicki Celozzi, who is Giancana's great-nephew; with the film's star, John Travolta; and with Giancana's daughter, Bonnie. The segment examines the mob's alleged connection to a murder that changed the world. The film opens in theaters December 4. The film's claim is its own thesis, and the program presents it as one.
Elsewhere in the hour, correspondent Martha Teichner reports on artist Mary Whyte, who runs in-person and virtual painting workshops and online tutorials she calls "watercolor boot camps." Her aim is to help veterans use art to cope with isolation and trauma. The program she leads is now in 48 states, and it gives veterans a way to express themselves and to reconnect with fellow vets, their communities, and themselves.
In film, correspondent Matt Gutman conducts the first television interview with Billy Evans, partner of Theranos co-founder Elizabeth Holmes. Evans responds to how he is portrayed in "You Can See Everything," the documentary by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, now in theaters from A24. He also discusses threats made against his family's safety and what the couple's children experienced while Holmes served her prison sentence.
Correspondent Mo Rocca marks the 100th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. He traces how puppeteer and artist Tony Sarg created the parade's balloons, floats, and costumes a century ago, and he visits the Macy's Studio in Moonachie, N.J., where this year's parade pieces are being designed, painted, and inflated. The parade is set for November 26, live on NBC and Peacock.
Correspondent Faith Salie profiles Floyd Norman, who spent 70 years bringing drawings to life, including work on "The Jungle Book" and "Mulan." He was the first Black animator at Disney, and after being asked to retire he kept coming to the office to mentor and advise younger animators. Norman is being honored this weekend with a lifetime achievement Oscar. His documentary, "Floyd Norman: An Animated Life," streams on HBO Max and Amazon Prime.
In music, Anthony Mason talks with Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. of U2, who are celebrating 50 years with "Carnaval de Luz," their first album of new music in nearly nine years. They revisit Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin, where the band first came together, and discuss regrouping after Mullen's neck surgery. They also talk about "Torn," a duet with Dolly Parton that turned out to be her last recording.
The literary segments include Jo Ling Kent's conversation with Min Jin Lee, author of "Pachinko," about her new book "American Hagwon," part of her series on the migration of Koreans around the world. Pauley also reports on The Reader, a book-review site from Washington Monthly co-founded by author Jonathan Alter, which launches November 15 as most newspapers and wire services have dropped their book-review sections.
The broadcast also includes an Almanac look at November 15, an In Memoriam segment, photos of the week from Nov. 8-14, and a nature moment with sea lions in La Jolla, Calif. Rand Morrison is executive producer. Next on the calendar: Macy's parade on November 26 and the film's theatrical release on December 4.
