HERE COME THE HUMANOIDS - For decades, engineers have been trying to create robots that look and move like humans, and now breakthroughs in AI are giving humanoid robots a new ability to acquire skills through learning. At Hyundai's new auto plant near Savannah, Ga., correspondent Bill Whitaker watches as Boston Dynamics' humanoid AI-powered robot Atlas learns to perform factory work in a real-world setting for the first time. Marc Lieberman is the producer.

BOOM CHICAGO - If you think America's top laugh factories are only in New York, Chicago, and L.A., think again. Reporting from Amsterdam, correspondent Jon Wertheim takes us inside Boom Chicago, an English-language improv theater founded in the early '90s by two American comics. What sounded like a punchline became a pipeline, launching future stars like Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Amber Ruffin, Brendan Hunt and Jason Sudeikis. At a moment when American comedy feels under siege, this beloved Dutch theater keeps proving that funny survives - and travels. Michael Gavshon is the producer.

ALYSA LIU - Very few people retire at age 16, but few people have had careers with as many twists as Alysa Liu. After becoming the youngest U.S. women's figure skating champion at just 13, the phenom shocked the sport by walking away a few years later. Now 20, Liu is back and a favorite to win Olympic gold next month. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with Liu about coming back on her own terms. Draggan Mihailovich and Nathalie Sommer are the producers.
