60 Minutes has covered every
link major happening since its debut on September 24, 1968, but perhaps the most memorable moment from the show is the stopwatch segment that's shown during the introduction, and right before commercial breaks. The watch is so iconic that it was added to The Smithsonian Institute's popular
link culture collection. The stopwatch entered the Smithsonian's collection in 1998, and a CGI stopwatch
link has appeared Sunday nights on the show ever since.
