9:27 am
>> just right down the street. but in the 1960 ross fiberglass became national. it brought boatloads of competitors. chris-craft eventually stopped making wooden boats altogether. >> how fast does this go anyway? >> a vintage chris-craft boat got the star treatment in 1981 film "on golden pond." there was a renewed interest getting back out on the watter. >> this boat came in we took bottom off started replacing frames. >> wayne and his team spent countless hours sanding, fastening, varnishing these old boats back to life. that's gorgeous sheen he said that could be most illusive. >> everything has to be right in the world to get a good varnish.

9:32 am
that was enough. >> having a little fun could be the motto of this actor/cum song and dance man who is proving again there isn't much he can't do or isn't willing to do for a laugh. he's breaking through on to the american celebrity w list these days with the help some of friends. >> shall we begin? >> you never know what you're going to get. >> but fame and recognition are not new to james corden. he's been there before. >> mr. james corden for services to drama. >> recently receiving an order of the british empire at buckingham palace, no one will

9:35 am
what he's doing now. >> the ambition was to be a lead in a broadway musical? >> i mean, but even broadway was beyond anything i could have. that felt out of reach. just the very notion of america was something so distant and remote for me it was inconceivable that i would even able to get to come to america. genuinely. >> that boy has james corden ever come to america now. the measure of late night tv isn't just how many people are watching. it's how many people watch again. his carpool karaoke series, this one with rod stuart, has become a youtube favorite.
9:36 am
somewhere around six million hits the last time we looked. >> if i could have told my 12-year-old self that at this stage in my life i would be offered one of these chairs, one of these five chairs, his head would explode. i'd like to take a moment just to read the letter that i wrote to myself in 200. >> the letter to self is an idea corden apparently likes. >> no matter what happens, i just hope you don't end up in some job where you have to wear desk all day. that would be the worst. comedy. his spoofs with national sporting heroes like david beckham have been a regular feature of charity fundraisers on the bbc. from beckham in britain. to beckham in america. it's one of corden's theories
9:37 am
funny anywhere. travels. if it's good it travels. there's a weird thing with us in britain that we would go, oh, we'll just work in america. no one in america's ever going, i wonder if this will work in britain. but the content, you know what is going on. belgium? you know, just a thing. a friend of mine likes you! >> and the thing corden has done in britain has traveled very well to america. >> making love -- [ laughter ] >> like history boys, was a huge hit in london then in new york he, too. corden won the 2012 tony best actor award for his work. >> thank you very much.
9:38 am
now, corden has that combination coveted by many but earned by only a few. the critics love him. and he's a big box office. >> some things do you are critically acclaimed and no one ever sees them. and then other things you do people really like and the critics think it's terrible. and every now and then in your career there's one thing, they are -- truest definition, few and far between in both people's careers where both critically and audiences go, wow. >> of all those history boys ten years ago, corden wouldn't necessarily have been the one you'd have bet on to be where he is today. and now on snoot late, late show" he's out to prove you can take a deeper space into the heart of american tv culture. >> best thing i hope people could say about the show is, i
9:39 am
i don't know what it will be tonight. and right now as it stands, it will be, because i don't know what it will be when it opens. >> you get the impression even after it's open, that's still true.

on here? recent white knuckle gyrations on wall street? ben stein has thoughts on that. >> august is the cruelest month. a good chunk of my savings disappeared as the stock market convulsed we're down at some point by well over 10%. why did it happen? the pundits and analysts appeared said it was because of the chinese derail u wakes possible serious weakness in china. this in turn to devastate u.s. exports supposedly to china and prosperity.
9:45 am
the u.s. economy's output roughly 18.ha trillion dollars per year, total exports to china are very roughly 120 billion per year that's lot of hamburgers. but roughly only about 7/10th of 1%. if our experts in china felt like 20% a large number that would have only trifling effects on u.s. economy very likely, trivial as big as ours. but it's some moments u.s. stock market was were off by more than stupendous $2 trillion, why? this is a cbs. wall street opened for business and stocks are plunging again. >> when stock markets move 1,000 points in a few minutes you and i are selling shares from our home computer. it is because immense hedge funds, high frequency trading funds, endowments and pension
9:46 am
they do it because they personally and their clients can possibly make immense sums of money on it. stocks move markets because of big boys in new york or hong kong or london say their traders, boys and girls, let's move this guy down. start some rumors about weakness in china then sell like mad. then the markets start to go down, everyone else piles on the markets go down until they say, kids, let's move this up. buy like crazy. i'll call the guys at cnbc tell them we have data about strong new orders for widgets in shanghai. then whole thing goes on in that direction. there's a famous quote in the short term market a voting machine, in the long run it's a weighing machine. in the long run, the market gives us minnows, chance to swim to the tide get in on the growth machine that is u.s. economy. in the short run it's a terrifying playground for tough guys to rumble in. yes, some big guys win and some
9:47 am
but it's powerful human beings with eye on the all mighty dollar and fast trigger finger not bogus macroeconomic explanations to move markets. in the meantime, stay cool. patience will be profit and fear will be loss. >> wow. >> nice. beautiful. >> love it. >> osgood: just ahead.

9:51 am
>> this is really special. because i always hoped that i'd have one restaurant. i want to be a chef. i wanted to be new orleans chef. >> the 47-year-old besh could almost see new orleans from slidell, louisiana. where he grew up as one of six kids of a stay-at-home mom and airline pilot father. >> my father was paralyzed at a young age. i was nine years old. he was hit by a drunk driver, paralyzed for life. at that point i started cooking breakfast for my siblings. i was just like, the dumb one that liked making breakfast and serving the kids. so that kind of became my job. i loved to cook. >> and he kept cooking, developing his own unique take on time-honored recipes. >> love it. >> i would always do like riffs on my mom's shrimp creole. i'd add something or add that, i would make it my own. need a little hot sauce.
9:52 am
then when i had a chance to finally stand out on my own i wanted to honor of the some of the great dishes that i had in the past just trying to bring a little refinement to them. that's all i do still today. >> smells so good. before his culinary career took off, besh joined the marines, where he served in iraq during operation desert storm. >> that was a time that i got to mature a lot. at a young age, learning how to deal with people that don't look like you, don't talk like you. that really helped me a lot. by growing as a chef. >> he returned home to start a family and work his way up in new orleans food scene. eventually becoming the executive chef and owner of august restaurant. life was good. but something was missing. >> i did fall into that trap of being the selfish chef, just focused on, it was could three-point that that brought me back to my roots of, no, we have to live now and serve other
9:53 am
comes down to. this sun precedented moment for new orleans. a catastrophe and half million people are moving out. >> when the storm hit, he shut his restaurant down and left with his family only to return to a devastated city. >> then i get here i see the fires and i see the smoke. i see the water. and you see people in such despair. i just remember this one point thinking, god has put me here for a reason. i have resources. i have a talent. what am i going to do to help. >> what he could do, was cook. >> we just started cooking. we cook red beans and rice around the clock. and either myself or some of my marine friends would ride around just scooping and serving these red beans to people. >> when he wasn't cooking he was reaching out. >> so this neighborhood was just totally flooded, destroyed. we're talking about six to eight
9:54 am
i think 12 feet of water just down is the. >> the treme neighborhood was in bad shape including the fabled fried chicken place. it was in danger of closing forever. so chef besh set out to help save it. >> whoever was going to come and help out rebuilding willie mae scotch house we were going to feed them for free. all these volunteers we would feed. >> they were determined and failure was not an option. kerry stuart runs the family own willie mae's which was founded by her great grandmother. >> you say that and tears in your eyes. i mean, i cried many days in the store room. >> after the storm these places became cornerstones that people in act of defines would come and eat out in in order to show their resilience for defeating
9:55 am
all this adversity. >> in the ten year since katrina besh has not only grown his own the community. >> if we're going to sustain a culture then we have to make sure that we invest in its people. so here i am, i've become pretty famous just from cooking new orleans food, right? but we all have to share in that. we all have to have opportunities to participate in that. >> so he started the john besh foundation, which gives loans and scholarships to local people, the only requirement being that they give back to new orleans in turn. >> i think if nothing else was really come out of this whole -- of the tragedy of the storm in -- is we started with the blank slate. and we haven't gotten everything right. it won't be done tomorrow, but i think if i can use food to shape a better tomorrow for new orleans, then that's what i'm supposed to do.
9:56 am
>> osgood: ahead. >> pretty harsh criticism of a sitting president. >> it is a necessary criticism i think is the way we both feel about it. >> the cheneys, father and daughter. but first -- >> there was nothing, nothing in the entire area. >> osgood: one store at a time. understands the life behind it. those who have served our nation. have earned the very best service in return. usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. anything. anywhere. anytime. anyone. spread the delicious taste you know and love. hershey's is mine, yours,
