Ten weeks have passed since President Trump held his last campaign rally -- and while he has indicated that he "hopes" the show will go on, packed arenas remain on pause during the coronavirus outbreak.

CBS News political unit associate producer Sarah Ewall-Wice joins CBSN's Elaine Quijano to discuss her reporting.

In conversation: Jerry Seinfeld

In his new Netflix special, "23 Hours to Kill," comedian Jerry Seinfeld offers a hilarious standup act recorded before the world shut down — a time capsule that, through his on-point observational humor, is a piquant reminder of what performers and audiences are now missing because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Correspondent Conor Knighton reports.
