Kimmel talked with correspondent Tracy Smith about his road to late-night, and why he's not so bothered if viewers are upset by his heartfelt monologues: "I don't say, 'I don't mind.' I'd love for everyone -- I want everyone with a television to watch the show. But if they're so turned off by my opinion on healthcare and gun violence, then I don't know. I probably won't wanna have a conversation with them anyway."

VIOLENCE: A mass shooting survivor's story | Watch Video
For all the horrific tales we've heard since the horror that played out in Las Vegas last weekend, those who have survived mass shootings before know that life does go on -- often with a renewed sense of purpose.

Kristina Anderson was 19 years old when she was carried out of her French class at Virginia Tech in April 2007, after having been shot three times by a troubled student who killed 32 and wounded 16 others. She used money tucked inside get well cards to start a foundation, and now criss-crosses the country speaking about school and workplace safety. 

Anderson talks with Lee Cowan about the physical and mental healing required after a mass shooting, and what victims of last weekend's deadly attack might anticipate during a long and difficult recovery.

COVER STORY: Creating a new blueprint for America's construction trades | Watch Video
The 2008 recession hit homeowners -- and homebuilders -- hard.  More than 1.5 million residential construction workers left the industry; some changed careers, others retired, and many immigrant workers left the U.S. and did not return. Add it all up, and since the Great Recession, the industry has recovered just fewer than half of those jobs.

And few young people are looking to careers in construction, plumbing, welding, and other skilled trades.

Mark Strassmann looks at the shortage of skilled labor -- desperately needed to build or repair housing in the wake of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria -- and talks with "This Old House" veteran Norm Abram and Mike Rowe, former host of the series "Dirty Jobs," about reconstituting America's blue-collar work ethic.

SUNDAY PROFILE: Bill Murray sings | Watch Video
In a rare television interview the comic star -- whose many "Saturday Night Live" characters included a formidable lounge singer -- talks with anchor Jane Pauley about venturing back into music. Murray is selling out concert halls as a member of "New Worlds," a stage production that mixes serious chamber music with spoken word performances.

The production, which features Murray, cellist Jan Vogler, violinist Mira Wang, and pianist Vanessa Perez, stems from a chance conversation Murray had with Vogler a few years back when they happened to be seated in the same row during a trans-Atlantic flight. They became friends, and that friendship turned into the collaboration on stage.

"I really do appreciate the live performance," Murray tells Pauley. "We get to a certain point in the show, we look around and go, like, 'Watch this: Now we're gonna kill 'em!'"

COVER STORY: All hail the Erie Canal | Watch Video
Two hundreds years ago, construction began on a 363-mile canal linking the Great Lakes to the Hudson River and New York City -- an engineering and commercial triumph as revolutionary as the Internet. But the Erie Canal was dismissed at first. New York politician DeWitt Clinton spent 10 years fighting to sell the project to a deeply skeptical public, and Presidents Jefferson and Madison refused to help fund it. Yet the canal quickly changed the geography and commerce of the young nation. Richard Schlesinger reports on the history of the Erie Canal, still celebrated in song as an example of American ingenuity.

WEB EXTRA VIDEO: "The Erie Canal Song"
"I've got an old mule and her name is Sal, Fifteen years on the Erie Canal..." It's a treasured melody that celebrates life on a canal boat in the 19th century. Singer Dave Ruch performs "Low Bridge - Everybody Down" (a.k.a. "The Erie Canal Song"), by songwriter Thomas S. Allen.

ART: Kerry James Marshall | Watch Video
Kerry James Marshall's trademark style has catapulted him into the stratosphere of the art world. A 35-year retrospective featuring 72 of his works is now at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. His figures aren't just black; they are jet black -- bold, proud, undeniably black. And while his work may deal with grief, injustice and loss, for the most part Marshall focuses on everyday life: picnics and street scenes, daily rituals, and quiet moments -- a window into a world rarely represented in fine art.

"We're used to hearing narratives of trauma, tragedy, disenfranchisement, pain, suffering," Marshall told correspondent Alex Wagner. "Few of the stories that normalize the everyday life of people who are not always experiencing trauma 24/7.

COVER STORY: Caught in the life: The business of prostitution | Watch Video
According to advocates fighting prostitution (which they call modern-day slavery), authorities in Seattle and other cities have taken an enlightened, modern approach to addressing the issue, by adopting a  "buyer beware" model -- arresting customers instead of sex workers. The aim: to reduce sex trafficking by cutting off demand.

Other advocates have called for the decriminalization of consensual sex work, saying laws against it force women into the shadows, compromising their safety.

But most cities still practice a zero-tolerance approach to prostitution. Lee Cowan reports on the divide over an enterprise usually kept in the shadows.

COVER STORY: Recording the sounds of nature's quietest places (Video)
Gordon Hempton, who calls himself the Sound Tracker, is an "acoustic ecologist" who has traveled the world recording the sounds of nature, from birdsong and rainfall to babbling brooks and the rustling of leaves. But the noise we humans make is making it harder to find those quiet places -- and, he says, it's having real consequences for wildlife as well. "Nature's music is an endangered species," he tells Lee Cowan.

Bernie Krause, a musician and sound recordist, has become an audio anthropologist, documenting the sounds of nature. He also has noticed dramatic changes in some areas, such as in a Costa Rican rain forest. He helps Cowan -- and us -- listen to the difference.

FROM THE ARCHIVE: The Sound Tracker (Video)

Q&A: Sheryl Sandberg on living "Option B" | Watch Video
On May 1, 2015, while vacationing in Mexico, the husband of Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, died suddenly while exercising. Dave Goldberg was just 47. An autopsy, Sandberg says, showed that he died of coronary heart disease and had a cardiac arrhythmia.

In an emotional and wide-ranging interview, Sandberg talks with "CBS This Morning" co-anchor Norah O'Donnell about breaking the news of their father's death to her children and how they worked together to move forward after the loss.

BOOKS: "The Outsiders," a teen classic, turns 50 | Watch Video
Published in 1967, "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, centered on the emotional challenges of competing factions of teenagers, is considered a classic, and a pioneer in the young adult fiction category. The book has sold more than 10 million copies, been translated into dozens of languages, and is part of the core curriculum in schools across the country.

Serena Altschul talks with Hinton, who started writing when she was 15, about how her novel became a touchstone for young readers; and to actor Rob Lowe, who turned 18 on the set of the 1983 film.

SUNDAY PROFILE: Viola Davis pulls no punches | Watch Video
You know you've made it as an actress when Meryl Streep sings your praises.  "The thing that Viola can't do is be invisible," Streep said. "She can't fade away. She can't recede. She can't be forgettable."

It's a drive that has been with Viola Davis since she was a little girl in Central Falls, Rhode Island, where money was so tight, she would dream about having food in the refrigerator.

And that hungry little girl, she tells Lee Cowan, is still with her today: "Totally. Completely. Still with me."

ARCHAEOLOGY: Curse of the "Lost City of the Monkey God"? | Watch Video
Some called it the White City, a great metropolis in the mountains of Mesoamerica that was lost to time.  Others called it the City of the Monkey God.

With laser-mapping technology he and other experts scanned hundreds of square miles of the Honduran jungle.

The force behind the films "Monster's Ball," "Precious," "The Butler" and the TV series "Empire" doesn't deny there are problems with the system -- big ones – but he's not letting those problems stop him, nor (he says) should they stop anyone else.

In addition to his take on Hollywood, Daniels talks with Mo Rocca about his sometimes-challenging path to success; his new TV series "Star"; and growing up with a father who struggled to accept that his son was gay.
