The broadcast airs on CBS at 9:00 a.m. ET and is available for streaming on the CBS News app starting at 11:00 a.m. ET.

The cover story examines the surge of online sports gambling, which has reached $167 billion annually since its legalization beyond Nevada in 2018. Correspondent Jim Axelrod explores the human cost, noting that states with legal online gambling have seen a 25% increase in bankruptcies and credit card delinquencies. The report features a gambler who wagers his entire annual income and investigates the design practices of major platforms like FanDuel and DraftKings, which are currently facing lawsuits.

In the arts segment, correspondent Norah O’Donnell discusses the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles with founders George Lucas and Mellody Hobson. Designed by architect Ma Yansong, the 300,000-square-foot institution in Exposition Park is described as the first museum dedicated to visual storytelling. It showcases art from comics, magazines, fantasy literature, and motion pictures. The museum opens to the public on September 22.

On the technology front, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sits down with correspondent Jo Ling Kent at the company’s Santa Clara headquarters. Recently dubbed “the most powerful man in AI” by The Atlantic, Huang discusses recent advancements in artificial intelligence and addresses safety concerns, specifically refuting predictions that AI will end the world by 2030.

In the books section, Hollywood superagent Ari Emanuel shares stories from his memoir, “Roll the Calls,” in an interview with Ben Mankiewicz of Turner Classic Movies. Emanuel, the executive chairman of WME Group and CEO of TKO Group Holdings, discusses his rise from the agency mailroom, his childhood as a bullied, dyslexic student in Chicago, and how he inspired the character Ari Gold in HBO’s “Entourage.” The book is available starting September 22.

The broadcast also features a royal segment where Charles Spencer discusses his new book, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.” In an interview with Mark Phillips, Spencer offers his perspective on the life of his sister, Princess Diana, and suggests that Prince Harry might have had a different path if he had received more understanding support following her death.

Additionally, Lonnie Bunch III, the 14th Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, talks with correspondent Mo Rocca about his upcoming retirement. As the first historian and first African American to lead the institution, Bunch reflects on his tenure and addresses pressures from the Trump White House regarding the patriotism of Smithsonian staff. He emphasizes the museum’s mission to provide a complete picture of American history.

In politics, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear discusses his book, “Go and Do Likewise: How We Heal a Broken Country,” with Robert Costa. Beshear advises Democrats to embrace progressive politics and religious faith while communicating in accessible language to reconnect with voters.

The episode also pays tribute to costume designer Bob Mackie, who died on September 14, 2026, at age 87. A 2003 archive interview features Mackie discussing his career dressing icons like Cher and Carol Burnett, as well as the tragic loss of his son to AIDS.
