Hip Hop artist JAY-Z, aka Shawn Carter, will be the subject of a CBS primetime special. JAY-Z talks about his life, his music, his work in criminal justice, his business acumen, and his family in “JAY-Z AND GAYLE KING: BROOKLYN’S OWN,” to be broadcast Tuesday, Nov. 14 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), immediately following the series premiere of NCIS: SYDNEY on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers)*.
CBS MORNINGS co-host Gayle King anchors the broadcast, featuring never-before-seen footage from her three-hour interview with JAY-Z at the Brooklyn Public Library, where a new exhibit explores his life and legacy.
In a rare, wide-ranging interview, JAY-Z talks with King about growing up in the Marcy Houses in Brooklyn, facing some difficult issues and how music was his path out. With King, he opens up about his business career, how he makes music and the stories behind some of his famous lyrics. The special also features footage from a 2002 60 MINUTES II interview, where viewers will see a younger JAY-Z on the cusp of being the mogul he is today.
JAY-Z talks about his childhood, how he got his name and life inside the Marcy Houses.
JAY-Z AND GAYLE KING: BROOKLYN’S OWN is produced by CBS MORNINGS and See It Now Studios for CBS News.
