the madagascar show is an example if i lost that briefly. it's not always pretty. capturing images around the world can have unintended consequences. it can be a destructive process, whatever your intentions and however pure your heart. i wanted to show that. the camera is alive. it shows everything. it shows nothing. it reveals only what we want. often what we see is seen only from a window. moving past then gone. one window, my window. if you'd been here, chances are you would have seen things differently. this is it. this is the food stop. i am starving. >> i am so with you.

5:26 pm
to see new orleans post-katrina makes me angry. to see camden, new jersey, in my own state that i grew up in, it makes me angry. yes, there's a lot of scary, ugly stuff in it, but there is much more, i still think, beauty and kindness and humor and people doing the best they can in often very, very difficult situations. it is a magnificent planet filled with fascinating and more often than not beautiful people. there are few american cities, places where things have gone as disastrously wrong as camden, new jersey. once a manufacturing powerhouse. home to the new york shipbuilding corporation. the campbell's soup company. and rca victor records. about 80,000 people live here today. that's the same number of people who were employed during its

5:31 pm
i was in beirut in 2006. this neighborhood was hit very hard. >> yeah. >> were you here at that time? >> yeah. >> why this neighborhood? >> because the people in this area, 99%, they support hezbollah. >> hezbollah means the party of god. they're a shia military political organization lavishly supported by iran. the party is more powerful, more effective on the ground, than the lebanese army. the united states officially designates them a terrorist organization. they are dangerous, they are well funded. and whatever else they may be, they are not stupid. >> in 2006, i have two sisters, they lost their home. hezbollah take care of them. here everybody support hezbollah, even the people who are not religious, for one reason, because they feel protected by them. >> his support for hezbollah typical of this neighborhood in

meal as soon as the scene's over. one of the things that's curious to me, and i found this to be true of camera people and production crew throughout my television career, we could be on our way to shoot a scene in france, but if it's 1:00 in the afternoon, they will stop at 7-eleven and, you know, gorge on some sort of pita sandwich sitting there calcifying. they know the overwhelming likelihood, it's a sure thing they're going to be eating -- they'll load up on hot pockets rather than skip mealtime. chef king's early experience working the mess hall during his mandatory military service led directly to superstar tdom. now he beams his cooking show
