On Sunday night, 60 Minutes will take a look at what they call “TED’s excellent adventure.” In a segment to air on April 19 at 7pm ET/PT, the powerhouse television newsmagazine will talk to TED speakers to find out exactly what happens when their big ideas are shared with the world for free.
“I had never heard of TED and didn’t know what a TED Talk was,” Stevenson tells Rose. “I told one of my young staffers, ‘Somebody named Ted wanted me to do a TED Talk and I said no.’ And the staffer went crazy. He said, ‘What are you talking about? You have to do it … This is a big deal.’”
Watch the show on Sunday night for much more from Stevenson (who, by the way, appeared on the 2015 Time 100 list earlier this week), as well as from TED Curator Chris Anderson and many other speakers whose ideas have gotten traction through talks.
And in the meantime, enjoy Stevenson’s talk.
