How the Theater Survived the Pandemic

Dick Van Dyke just turned 100 years old. Fellow comedian and long-time friend Mel Brooks reflects on their relationship and what it feels like to head toward the century mark. 

Then, Grammy-winning songwriter John Prine died of COVID-19 complications in April 2020. More than two years later, musicians gathered to pay tribute. Now, a new documentary film, "You Got Gold: A Celebration of John Prine," captures those concerts. We speak with Fiona Whelan Prine, Prine's widow, and producer of the concerts and the film.
