Central Florida is going to make a splash on national television this weekend. Trust me.
Here’s how:
1. People will be talking about the Scott Pelley report that leads off “60 Minutes.” Pelley wanted to do a story about how children are suffering through the Great Recession. He told me he decided on Orlando because it is home to “the happiest place on Earth” and because Central Florida is one of the most challenged places in the country. The decision paid off because “60 Minutes” has found some thoughtful children to tell this heartbreaking story. (I’ll have an interview with Pelley over the weekend.) This is one of those reports that earns the overused term “must see.” CBS’ “60 Minutes” airs at 7 p.m. Sunday.
2. “Daniel Tosh: Happy Thoughts” features the comedian — who grew up in Titusville and graduated from the University of Central Florida — in a jaw-dropping standup act. Viewers know Tosh from the series “Tosh.0.” The ironically titled special, which debuts at 9 p.m. Sunday on Comedy Central, is not for the easily offended.
Tosh may look like a choirboy, but he has an extremely dark style, and he isn’t afraid to tackle any topic. He warns the audience, “Hang in there. It gets worse.”
