'The Beast' | America's Dirty Secret | Trevor Noah


"The Beast" – Scott Pelley reports on the new science of superstorms. What spawned one of the most devastating swarms of tornadoes ever to tear through the United States? Pelley reports from Kentucky, where more than 70 people were killed last weekend and billions of dollars in losses occurred. 

America's Dirty Secret – Bill Whitaker reports from Alabama's Black Belt, ground zero in an unseen public health epidemic: by some estimates, half the impoverished, rural residents in Lowndes County have raw sewage spilling into their yards and even their homes. Sanitary wastewater disposal is required by the state but not provided to residents outside small towns, leaving many living in the countryside who can't afford it with no sewage systems at all. Whitaker speaks with families battling conditions you'd never expect to see in the heart of America and meets one advocate who hopes to expose what she calls "America's dirty secret." 

Trevor Noah – Trevor Noah is an unstoppable comedic force. As host of "The Daily Show," he has attracted widespread and sometimes viral attention for his heartfelt and cutting social commentary. Forbes ranked him the fourth-highest-earning comedian, and Time named him one of its 100 most influential people. Lesley Stahl interviews Noah, currently on the road with his latest comedy tour.

The Floor

The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.

The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
