September 27th's 'Sunday Morning' Unpacks YouTube's Hollywood Shake-Up, Keith Haring's Legacy, and AI's Big Questions

This week, CBS News Sunday Morning invites viewers to explore how YouTube creators are reshaping Hollywood, delve into the vibrant world of Keith Haring, confront the potential perils of AI, and get up close with Sylvester Stallone.

Get ready for a truly packed and thought-provoking edition of CBS News Sunday Morning this September 27th! Hosted, as always, by the wonderful Jane Pauley, this week's broadcast promises a captivating journey through everything from the unexpected corners of Hollywood to the potentially world-altering discussions around artificial intelligence. Seriously, there's a little something for everyone.

First up, who'd have thought that YouTube creators, the folks we often associate with quick clips and viral trends, would be shaking up the very foundations of Hollywood? Well, according to Luke Burbank's report, they are – big time! He dives into how these innovative talents are directing horror films, with titles like "Obsession" and "Backrooms," that are pulling in hundreds of millions at the box office. It’s a fascinating look at the new guard, featuring insights from Matt Belloni of Puck and filmmaker Mark Vins from the Brave Wilderness YouTube channel. This shift is truly something to behold.

Then, shifting gears entirely, we’ll dive into the vibrant, unmistakable world of Keith Haring. You know his work, those bold lines and iconic figures! Across the U.S., his art is gracing several exhibits this fall, including "Keith Haring in 3D" at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. Imagine his 1985 "Untitled (Elephant)" sculpture brought to life! We'll even get a nostalgic peek into the archives with Charles Osgood's 1982 "CBS Evening News" profile of Haring. Plus, a quick heads-up on other must-see art shows, from Lee Miller at the Art Institute of Chicago to Krasner and Pollock at the Met, and even a look at the Bayeux Tapestry in London.

From art to music, Seth Doane sits down with the incredibly talented British singer-songwriter Raye. You might know her for the catchy hit "Where Is My Husband!" – and she’s just dropped her latest album, "This Music May Contain Hope." It’s always a treat to hear from an artist at the top of their game, don't you think?

Now, for a topic that keeps many of us up at night: artificial intelligence. David Pogue tackles the really big, almost existential question: "Will artificial intelligence kill us all?" He’s not shying away from the tough stuff, interviewing leading AI experts like Daniel Kokotajlo, Geoffrey Hinton from the University of Toronto, Alex Turner, and Andrew Ng, cofounder of Google's AI program. It's a critical discussion, to say the least, and one we all need to pay attention to.

If you, like so many, find yourself drawn to the mysteries and chilling stories of true crime, then Luke Burbank has another segment for you! He’s back, exploring the massive public appetite for true crime, even stopping by a CrimeCon convention. You’ll hear from Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, the brilliant minds behind the "My Favorite Murder" podcast, and Professor Jean Murley, dissecting why these dark tales captivate us so much. They even touch upon the infamous Lizzie Borden House – spooky!

And for a true Hollywood legend, Tracy Smith brings us an exclusive Sunday Profile with none other than Sylvester Stallone. He’s just released his memoir, "The Steps," which promises an unfiltered look at his incredible journey, available in multiple formats on September 29th. We’ll get a peek into his world, perhaps over dinner at Carbone in NYC, and learn about his upcoming film "I Play Rocky," hitting theaters in November. He's also doing a live event at the 92nd Street Y – so much happening with Sly!

Closer to home, Steve and Andrea Hartman share their heartfelt reflections as their son, George, heads off to college. It's a segment that will undoubtedly resonate with anyone who's experienced the bittersweet emotions of an empty nest. We also take a moment in "Passage" to remember NBA Hall of Famer Bob Pettit, a legend on the court, who recently passed away.

Finally, for a moment of breathtaking tranquility: Kevin Kjergaard captures the stunning beauty of Lake Poinsett in South Dakota for our Nature segment. A perfect visual palette cleanser after all that!

Before we go, don't miss a fascinating dive into the history of salt with Martha Teichner. From an October 2008 archive, this piece explores the world of salt, featuring insights from author Mark Kurlansky ("Salt: A World History") and salt enthusiasts Mark and Jennifer Turner Bitterman, who even host salt tastings at their Portland, Oregon shop! Who knew salt could be so captivating?

Oh, and a quick reminder! "CBS Sunday Morning" is hosting a series of live events at the 92nd Street Y in NYC, kicking off on September 28th. You can grab your tickets at www.92ny.org – it sounds like a fantastic opportunity to get closer to the show you love!
