H2: What to watch on 60 MINUTES (Feb. 1)

60 MINUTES returns Sunday with a three-story lineup covering a high-profile federal investigation, NASA’s next crewed lunar step, and a look at a transatlantic comedy incubator. The broadcast airs 7:00–8:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and streams on Paramount+.

H3: Federal probe and the killing of Alex Pretti

Correspondent Scott Pelley reports from Minneapolis on public outrage following the killing of Minnesota resident Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents. Pelley interviews Sen. Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, who has summoned top Department of Homeland Security immigration officials to testify later this month. The segment also includes conversations with former Justice Department and DHS investigators about the federal probe. Producers on this story are Maria Gavrilovic, Aaron Weisz and Nicole Young.

H3: The far side of the Moon — Artemis II preview

Bill Whitaker files a report from Kennedy Space Center in Florida ahead of Artemis II, NASA’s first human mission to the Moon in more than 50 years. Whitaker speaks with the four astronauts selected for the 10-day mission and examines how Artemis II could pave the way for a longer-term presence on the Moon and future Mars missions. Marc Lieberman produced the story.

H3: Boom Chicago — Amsterdam’s improv export

In a lighter cultural piece, correspondent Jon Wertheim visits Boom Chicago in Amsterdam. Founded in the early 1990s by two American comics, the English-language improv theater has become a proving ground for performers who later found success in the U.S., including names like Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele and Jason Sudeikis. The report looks at how Boom Chicago continues to nurture comedy at a time when the art form faces new pressures. Michael Gavshon produced the segment.
