The CBS News program "CBS News Sunday Morning" scheduled its Sept. 27, 2026, broadcast to feature a profile of actor Sylvester Stallone, an investigation into artificial intelligence risks, and a report on the true crime entertainment industry. Hosted by Jane Pauley, the 90-minute program includes segments on new film, music, and book releases for the fall 2026 season. The broadcast also highlights the art of Keith Haring and a profile of the British singer-songwriter Raye.
Sylvester Stallone discussed his new memoir, "The Steps," which is scheduled for release on Sept. 29. During the interview with correspondent Tracy Smith, Stallone recounted his efforts to produce the 1976 film "Rocky," a project he wrote and refused to sell unless he was cast in the lead role. The segment coincides with the 50th anniversary of the film and precedes the theatrical release of "I Play Rocky" on Nov. 19.
In a segment regarding technology, correspondent David Pogue interviewed AI experts Geoffrey Hinton, Daniel Kokotajlo, and Andrew Ng. The discussion focused on the risks of artificial intelligence teaching itself to become smarter and the possibility of autonomous systems "going rogue." Additionally, correspondent Luke Burbank reported on the popularity of the true crime genre, visiting the CrimeCon convention and interviewing the hosts of the "My Favorite Murder" podcast.
The broadcast also details changes for moviegoers and creators. Luke Burbank reported on a new generation of filmmakers transitioning from platforms like YouTube to traditional cinema, a shift intended to attract younger audiences back to physical theaters. For independent artists, the profile of singer-songwriter Raye examines the financial and professional risks of leaving her record label to operate independently, a move following her album "This Music May Contain Hope."
