Six Sunday Morning Detours Worth Taking With Us This Week
It’s CBS News Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley time — and this round of INYIM picks is exactly why the show remains one of television’s great little escape hatches. We pulled six stories built to fuel the brain, the imagination and a little casual-whimsy Sunday wandering.
This week’s INYIM six move from Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion to hot AF comedian John Mulaney, then actor Bill Mumy, a David Hockney appreciation, soccer art made from gum wrappers and, finally, seahorses and seadragons — some of nature’s most curious creatures. The good kind.
These are our picks for this week, not six pieces from one single broadcast: the selections reach across recent Sunday Morning segments, which is also part of the fun. Good television does not expire just because Sunday moved on.

Queen Elizabeth II: A Wardrobe Built for the Job
Alina Cho visits Buckingham Palace for “Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style,” the exhibition tracing the monarch’s wardrobe across every decade of her life.
During her lifetime — and her 70-year reign as Britain’s monarch — Queen Elizabeth II’s wardrobe could communicate as deliberately as any speech. The Buckingham Palace exhibition “Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style” takes the long view, while designer Erdem Moralioglu joins Cho to discuss how the Queen’s clothing also filtered into his own work.
John Mulaney on Sobriety, Fatherhood and the Life After
Tracy Smith talks with Mulaney about sobriety, his 2020 “star-studded” intervention and how fatherhood with Olivia Munn shifted his outlook.
John Mulaney says he grew up feeling that comedy was his destiny. The Emmy-winning stand-up and former Saturday Night Live writer talks frankly about sobriety today, that 2020 intervention and how becoming a father changed the scale of everything around him. An earlier version of the profile originally aired in March 2025, but the conversation still lands.
Bill Mumy Made It Through Child Stardom With Himself Intact
Jim Axelrod catches up with the former Twilight Zone and Lost in Space child star, now also known for decades of music and songwriting.
“It’s a Good Life” indeed. Mumy first became known for childhood appearances on The Twilight Zone and later as Will Robinson on Lost in Space. Now 72, he talks about avoiding some of the traps that swallowed other young performers while building a second life as an Emmy-nominated songwriter, touring musician and recording artist.
David Hockney: Six Decades of Seeing the World Differently
Seth Doane’s appreciation looks across Hockney’s pools, portraits, Yorkshire landscapes and digital experiments following the artist’s death at 88.
Hockney’s constant experimentation gave us six decades of swimming pools and sun-drenched scenes, intimate portraits, vibrant Yorkshire landscapes and digital work that never treated new tools like a threat. The British-born artist died on June 11, 2026, at 88. This is less a tidy retrospective than a reminder of just how relentlessly curious his eye remained.
World Cup History, Rebuilt One Gum Wrapper at a Time
Luke Burbank visits artist Lyndon J. Barrois Sr., whose “Fútbol Is Life: Animated Sportraits” recreates soccer history in tiny pieces of paper and foil.
Barrois painstakingly sculpts soccer players out of the humble chewing-gum wrapper. His Los Angeles exhibition, “Fútbol Is Life: Animated Sportraits,” pulls nearly a century of World Cup history into tiny pieces of paper and foil. Big sport, tiny scale, obsessive detail. Naturally, we’re in.
Seahorses and Seadragons Are Nature Showing Off Again
Conor Knighton visits Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography for a closer look at two of the ocean’s strangest fish.
Seahorses already sound invented: a horse-like head, kangaroo-like pouch, monkey-like tail and chameleon-level camouflage. Then comes the gender-role swerve — the males carry the fertilized eggs. Knighton heads to Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California to meet them and their equally strange, spectacular seadragon cousins.
