CBS is loading up its Saturday Morning slate with a mix of nostalgia, culinary heat, and indie-pop flair.
Veteran talk show host Montel Williams is set to appear on the May 24 broadcast, joining the program to discuss his latest turn as co-author of The Sailing of the Intrepid, a nonfiction chronicle of a WWII-era aircraft carrier’s storied mission. The book marks a return to Williams’ military roots—he served in both the Marine Corps and Navy—and taps into the current wave of longform historical storytelling that’s seeing renewed interest across platforms.
In the food lane, The Dish welcomes barbecue authority and multiple-time bestselling author Steven Raichlen. Known for fusing global grilling traditions with sharp technique, Raichlen’s segment will likely play to CBS Saturday Morning’s weekend-foodie base, which remains a reliable draw in the 7 AM slot.
Rounding out the hour, Brooklyn-based pop group Lucius steps into the Saturday Sessions spotlight. The band, known for tight harmonies and polished live performances, continues to build momentum on the festival circuit and is currently supporting their latest release.
Hosted by Jeff Glor, Dana Jacobson, and Michelle Miller, CBS Saturday Morning mixes field reporting with a cultural lean—and this weekend’s lineup keeps the format tight, diverse, and built for broad appeal. The episode airs May 24 at 7:00 AM on CBS.
