Pelley no country has been harder hit by ebola than liberia, a hot zone for the outbreak where more people have died from the virus than anywhere else. Thats where most of the u. S. Effort is focused, with more than 2,000 americans now leading the International Response and more on the way soldiers, doctors, nurses, and relief workers who are running mobile labs, building hospitals, and treating patients. Liberia lies just north of the equator, and is home to part of the last great rainforest in west africa, where the ebola virus thrives in tropical, humid conditions. With their hospitals overwhelmed, special centers for the sick, called ebola treatment units, are being built as fast as possible. One of them is run by an American Relief group, the International Medical corps, where lara logan, who is currently selfquarantined for 21 days, reported this story. Logan to get to the ebola treatment unit, we traveled north from the liberian capital along pitted roads toward the border with neighboring guinea, where this outbreak began. American virologist joseph fair, whos been here for most of the epidemic, came with us. Around 40 miles out of monrovia, we were stopped at the first checkpoint. So everybody basically crossing this line into the next county has to have their temperature taken . Joseph fair yes on the way in and on the way out. Logan manned by men with thermometers instead of guns, they were hunting for anyone with a fever. 36. 3 . And after every stop, a ritual cleansing with chlorine. It kills the virus in seconds. In this outbreak, there have already been more deaths than all of the previous Ebola Outbreaks combined. Why is this one so bad . Fair this really happened at the nexus, the tristate region where a single or a few tribal groups exist throughout the three countries, and each of those areas are connected by roads to the major cities in each of the countries affected. And those major cities are connected to the rest of the world. So this had never happened in such a highly mobile and geographically connected region. Logan at the end of a dirt road, on the grounds of an old leper colony, we arrived after a fivehour drive at the International Medical corps ebola treatment unit. And were hosed down again. Its a onedisease hospital with 50 beds and a staff of nearly 200, run by an american doctor, pranav shetty, who trained in emergency medicine at ucla. Pranav shetty we have a lot of protocols and procedures around the cleaning of supplies that are taken into the high risk zone. This is where we dry boots. Basically, everything after its been heavily chlorinated and washed and dried, and clear of ebola, we can continue to use it. Logan since they opened in midseptember, theyve treated more than 200 patients, and so far, none of their staff have been infected. Containers of chlorine and taps for handwashing mark the divisions between every section. Patients in the confirmed ward have tested positive for ebola. Those who feel Strong Enough sit outside, but most are hidden from view in their rooms. Theyre separated from the suspected ward by an orange fence, where people whose tests have not come back yet have to wait. No one can enter these areas without layers of protection, and on their way out, staff are hosed down in the decontamination zone. Colin bucks its otherworldly. Were in an area. Football field sized plot, cut out of deep green forest, and everything is blue or gravel, and it smells like chlorine. Its. Youve. Youve come to another planet. Logan dr. Colin bucks has been on duty here for the past month. At home, hes an emergency physician at stanford. Bucks the world, if it chooses and people say step up, i think this is very containable. Logan and if they dont . Bucks i think we make our own bed, you know . Thats why i urge people to say, this is my responsibility. I have a global citizens responsibility to do this. And if you want to say a patriotic responsibility to keep america safe, yeah. People go off to war to keep us safe; people should. People should fight this crisis with the same sense of responsibility. Kelly suter these rooms are clean. Logan nurse kelly suter is one of a handful of americans working alongside colin bucks. Suter even though i know its a reality that i could get sick, and that i could be one of them that doesnt survive, im okay with that because id rather be here helping than home and safe. Logan shes 29, from northern michigan, and will be here until the end of the year. What is it like to see it every day . Suter it can be difficult. Theres good days and theres bad days. I mean, the first deathbed i experienced was a gentleman that, i mean, he came in critical, but i didnt expect him to pass away as suddenly as he did. In fact, i was in there bathing him and getting him dressed, and then all of a sudden i looked up and his eyes were really big, and he was obviously scared. And, you know, my instincts as an american nurse is to turn around and look for, you know, the code blue button to hit or some medications or an ambu bag. And you realize that. Logan but there isnt one . Suter no, you know. So i got down by his bed and held his hand and talked to him. And a few minutes later, he was gone. Logan most of the staff here are liberian, and to lift their spirits, they mark every new shift with hymns. The stigma of the disease is so great, many of them say theyre treated as outcasts when they commute back home every day. But in here, the americans who work with them call them heroes. In sweltering heat and often 100 humidity, they cover every inch of their bodies in plastic and rubber armor. Theyre so hard to recognize, they wear their names on their foreheads. Its for each other and for their patients. How tough is it to wear that suit . Bucks physically . Logan yeah. Bucks its astounding. laughs youre soaked with sweat before you walk in. Youre just drenched. The tough part is that when the masks get filled with your own breath and sweat, that then it really gets hard to breathe. And you have to go. To breathe. You have to get out then. It actually. You feel like youre suffocating. Logan every time they cross into the highrisk area, theyre touching people at their sickest and most contagious. Thats dr. Steven hatch, an Infectious Disease specialist from massachusetts, on his two hour shift behind the fence. Steven hatch i try to make it seem like im a regular guy, doing a regular piece of work. It removes that sense that im an alien, which is the first reaction the patients have whe they see us. Logan its kind of intimidating, right . Hatch oh, i cant even imagine what they experience in the first 24 hours when all they see are these, you know, faceless creatures that are moving around. And so i try to do everything i can to humanize that process for them, and we all do around here. Logan in the confirmed ward, patients wait, mostly to die. There are 15 to 20 here at any given time. A few survive with i. V. Fluids and early care that allows their immune systems to get ahead of the virus. But if they dont, it wreaks havoc on their organs, melting away cell walls and plunging the body into shock. It can be an agonizing death, which the doctors here try to ease with pain medication and sedatives. So this area behind me is the highrisk area here at the treatment center. And we want to talk to some of the patients, but you have to keep your distance. And this gentleman who you can see behind me, is caring for his son. He was cured here at the center, and is now looking after his fiveyearold boy, who is confirmed to have ebola. The boys name is william. And his father, george, who is now immune to this virus, gave us permission to tell their story. Nurse kelly suter was with them from the start. Suter hes been by that little boys bedside around the clock, and when things get hard or im tired or sweating so bad that i just want to go home, you know, i remember george and i remember little william. Logan so what would you want people at home to know about this . Suter its not as scary as it seems because it is manageable. There are protocols, there are procedures to protect yourself. Its not like were walking into ebola land and, you know, were all going to die. Were doing what we should. We know what were doing. Logan a medical team masked in full protective gear is always on hand when new patients are brought in. This is what passes for an ambulance here a pickup wrapped in orange tarp. On this day, colin bucks was waiting. No one can come near the patient until the sprayers are done. Strapped inside, a young man, highly infectious with ebola. Hed been abandoned on the street for a week until they picked him up. Bucks they were afraid that he would exit the vehicle while it was moving. He was quite confused, and we see that with ebola, a kind of encephalopathic kind of state. Logan the trauma of the epidemic had touched everyone we met. Over the summer, virologist joseph fair saw some of his closest friends in this region, doctors and nurses hed known for years, get infected and die. Fair has spent 15 years in west africa, mostly on behalf of the u. S. Department of defense, studying dangerous viruses in secure labs, or trying to track them down at their source in the animal world. For most of the past eight months, hes been working to get ahead of this epidemic. Here at the National Laboratory in liberia, there was no way to test for ebola until he and his team handcarried in the equipment. By late may, they thought the outbreak was over. Fair we were just a few days from declaring it over, and thats when we had cases emerge, both in liberia and sierra leone and guinea. Logan what happened . Fair individuals that were infected with ebola were missed at the time through the Contact Tracing that was in place. And those individuals traveled, became ill, and infected other individuals around them. Logan and that is the cause of this current huge wave of the epidemic . Fair thats all it takes. It only takes missing one individual to result in another outbreak. Logan resources that were slow to come at first are now pouring in. The u. S. Army showed us one of the 17 ebola treatment units they are building, together with the liberian military. But theres still no cure, and the virus is killing around 70 of the people it infects. Tracking down the sick and the dying is a dangerous but critical part of containing the outbreak. On this day, the International Medical corps ambulance team, led by dr. Trish henwood, from the university of pennsylvania, and kenyan nurse elvis ogweno, had been called back to a house where two people had already died of ebola. The patient was kept isolated to one side, while a team of sprayers worked on the house with chlorine. As he walked to the ambulance, the patient was followed. They covered every piece of ground he touched. He was headed for the suspected ward, where patients are caged in, waiting to find out if they have ebola, like this woman who stayed close to her son. Her husband already lay deathly ill on the other side of the fence in the confirmed ward. Later in the day, anguished wails filled the air. woman wailing she had just been told her husband was dead. Death is a constant here, and at the end of a path through the forest, lies their graveyard. A team of gravediggers try to stay ahead of the numbers. For the american scientist, they had many questions. Fair we think it probably exists in the bats, because they dont get sick from the virus and thats how we know usually where the virus comes from. If it doesnt make that animal sick, it usually means that animal can carry the virus. Logan what do you say to people back home who are much more focused on ebola in the u. S. And think, you know, you should just shut it off, isolate it and protect americans from this disease . Fair the thing that i need to get across to everyone is that, until we handle the outbreak here and be that ebola, be that some other disease until we handle outbreaks where they occur, we are never going to be safe ourselves. Logan there were 34 filled graves when we arrived. Two and a half weeks later, there were more than 60. The patient who came strapped inside the ambulance is now lying here. For every death, a simple funeral. A patients brother clutched a wooden gravemarker on his way to the graveyard. The body, still infectious, had to be wrapped in two body bags. With each move, there was more chlorine. Its now protocol here for every burial. For the boy william and his father george, who survived ebola with the help of the american doctors and nurses here, there was much hope as they fought for his sons life. But in that same graveyard, a few days later, another small grave was added. Lara logan talks from quarantine about covering the Ebola Outbreak in africa. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com.

Pelley tomorrow, the day before veterans day, the new head of Veterans Affairs will announce the biggest reorganization in the history of the v. A. , which comes after the agencys biggest fiasco. It was last spring that we learned that tens of thousands of vets were waiting months for medical care while managers cooked the books to hide the delays. The former secretary was forced out. Tonight, we have the first interview with the new man in charge. 61yearold Robert Mcdonald has no government or medical experience, but he does know management. He was chief executive officer of proctor and gamble, the Largest Consumer Products Company in the world. And we wanted to know how a soap salesman will go about cleaning up the v. A. How many employees do you think should be fired, based on what you know . Robert mcdonald the report weve passed up to the Senate Committee and House Committee has about 35 names on it. Ive got another report that has over 1,000. Pelley if 1,000 people need to go, give me a sense of what are some of the things that they did . Mcdonald were simplistically talking about people who violated our values. Pelley and those values are what . Mcdonald its integrity, its advocacy, its respect, its excellence. These are the things that we try to do for our veterans. Pelley but bob mcdonald cant punish or fire 1,000 people right now. Hes discovering how different the capitol is from capitalism. To fire a government manager, he has to put together a case and prove it to an administrative judge. Mcdonald scott, the reason this is. Reason this is okay, in some respects, is that. Pelley a lot of people think its not okay. Mcdonald well, thats different. Pelley . That if people lied and put veterans second, and their self first, they should be cleared out. Mcdonald absolutely. Absolutely. But weve got to make it stick. Pelley how do you mean . Mcdonald so we propose the action, the judge rules, and the individual has a time to appeal. Thats why we have a lot of people on administrative leave weve moved them out, because we dont want any harm to our veterans. Bob, id like you to meet my district commander. Pelley hes been on the job four months, and in that time, hes been getting an education. Mcdonald has inspected 41 v. A. Facilities. We caught up with him in boston, where we discovered that he refuses to be called mr. Secretary. Its so good to meet you, mr. Secretary. Mcdonald im bob. Please call me bob. Pelley his washington staff cant get their heads around calling the boss by his first name, so theyve taken to calling him secretary bob. Mcdonald so you were with patton in north africa . No, he was with me. laughter pelley hell need that sense of humor because mcdonald is battling a behemoth cobbled together over decades. The v. A. Is the second Largest Agency in the entire federal government, behind only the department of defense. Mcdonald we have no hope of taking care of veterans if we dont take of each other. Pelley he has 340,000 employees, who handle services ranging from home mortgages to College Loans to heart transplants. Mcdonald well, youve got people who really care about veterans here. Exactly. Pelley with nine million patients, the v. A. Is americas largest healthcare system, but it had slipped into critical condition. Last april, a doctor in phoenix exposed those phony waitlists. Barack obama it is dishonorable. It is disgraceful. And i will not tolerate it, period. Pelley investigators found that the official records showed that vets in phoenix were getting appointments in 14 days, but this was the true waitlist. Those are numbers of days in the right column more than 400 days in most cases. The investigation found that the wait may have contributed to six deaths. It was all because phoenix was overwhelmed. The general condition of the emergency room at that time you would describe as what . Katherine mitchell chaos. Absolute chaos. Pelley doctor Katherine Mitchell was codirector of the emergency room. How well known was it inside the v. A. In phoenix that veterans were going months without getting an appointment . Mitchell everyone knew that, everyone that worked at the phoenix v. A. For any length of time. Pelley and when she reported the problems, she was reassigned to an empty clinic. Mitchell in 2013, i submitted a confidential o. I. G. Complaint regarding the life threatening issues within the phoenix v. A. System. Pelley dr. Mitchell was among the first to blow the whistle. Mitchell i had veterans who had survived world war ii, who had survived pork chop hill, who survived the battle of fallujah, who had gone through so many situations of combat, where its a life and death situation. And yet, i could not guarantee their safety in the middle of metropolitan phoenix in my e. R. , because we didnt have adequate staffing or training. Pelley a nationwide investigation confirmed the phony waitlists in phoenix and 92 other v. A. Centers. When you read that in the inspector generals report, you thought what . Mcdonald i was incensed. I was incensed. Our veterans have earned these benefits. They earn them with their lives in danger. Pelley it strikes me that you are coming into a system which was broken because the people in the regions were lying to headquarters. Mcdonald this is one of the reasons i have traveled. Ive got to get to the bottom of it. Ive got to meet the people. So the adverse information gets from the bottom to the top as quickly as possible. People get rewarded for bringing adverse information forward. Pelley that has never been the case before. Mcdonald its going to be the case now. I have a piece of paper right here from a veteran. Pelley the day we were with him, a vet had driven 1,200 miles to get care at the boston v. A. Hospital. She slipped mcdonald this note. Mcdonald can you read it . It says, im from alabama and i had to come here to boston to get care. That breaks my heart. Pelley other failures boggle the mind. In pittsburgh, six vets died of legionnaires disease, and this year, we learned that the hospital had known that its water system was contaminated. In brockton, massachusetts, a vietnam vet was hospitalized for eight years with a psychiatric disorder, but no one ever scheduled an appointment for him with a psychiatrist. When you got the call suggesting this job, i would imagine you wouldve thought, oh, boy. Im not sure i need that headache at this point in my life. Mcdonald my Immediate Reaction was, i want to do it. I feel like my whole life has been designed to lead to this. Pelley the design of Bob Mcdonalds life, in many ways, started at the u. S. Military academy. He graduated in 75, and served five years as a paratrooper. He bought his first home with a v. A. Loan. And the v. A. Paid for his masters degree. In 33 years at proctor and gamble, he put tide, pampers, and joy into most of the cupboards on earth. Though he left west point long ago, west point never left him. The first time you saw this view of the hudson river, you were 18 years old, here at west point, getting sworn in at this very spot. And i wonder what that experience has done to inform your life . Mcdonald i think its the west point motto duty, honor, country. Pelley hes sentimental that way, uncompromising. So its no wonder his new number two at the v. A. Is his west point classmate, sloan gibson, who used to run the u. S. O. As cadets, they sat across the table from each other in the mess hall. Sloan gibson the first place i visited was phoenix, ground zero. While i was in phoenix, i met with a large group of employees they wanted to do the right thing. They worked really hard, but the system and the organization was just not supporting them. What i saw there leadership failure, mismanagement, and chronic underinvestment in the system. Pelley already, gibson has suspended bonuses for all v. A. Executives. And he fired the director of an alabama hospital. Tomorrow, mcdonald will unveil the reorganization, part of it designed so that veterans wont have to go to war to get their benefits. Mcdonald right now, they face nine Different Organization structures across the country, so they dont know where to go. And if they do find somebody to go to, that person may be an expert in benefits but not an expert in heath care. And we want to create a Customer Service representative that that person can go to. Secondly, they face multiple web sites that require multiple user names and multiple passwords, and thats not acceptable. Weve got to get to one web site, one entry point, and then fan people out from there. Can you stand up for me . Pelley something hes already done is given doctors a raise. V. A. Physicians were making less than most private doctors. It was hard to fill the open jobs, and that led to those intolerable waitlists. How many doctors and nurses and medical professionals do you need to hire right now . Mcdonald if we could do it today, we would tell you we probably need about 28,000, is what we said in our. In our committee testimony. Pelley im sorry, 28. Mcdonald yes. Pelley . Thousand . Mcdonald yes. But wait a minute, scott. Pelley how long is that going to take . Mcdonald well, its going to take time, because every adverse outcome that gets amplified by the media doesnt help me. I. I was on. Pelley youve got a bad reputation. Mcdonald i do. But were changing it. It is the largest integrated Health Network in the united states. Pelley hes trying to change that reputation himself. Mcdonald is personally recruiting doctors and nurses. This was massachusetts general hospital. Mcdonald if you want to do research, clinical work, and teach at the same time, this is a great place to work. Pelley later, we caught him calling a young doctor that hed met the day before. Mcdonald i heard what a wonderful cardiologist you are, so weve got some stateofthe art stuff were doing here, and wed like to get you onboard. And if you get to washington, id love to see you. Pelley and if you know the number of a good psychiatrist, mcdonald needs to hire 2,500 Mental Health professionals. Since 2006, 400,000 vets, many from iraq and afghanistan, have applied for Mental Health services. Mcdonald weve had an instance where weve spoken to the family, and the family has told us that the individual came to the v. A. , and they got out of their car and they took their own life in our parking lot because they knew that we could then deal with it. And they didnt want to do it at home with their family. Pelley deal with their body. Mcdonald well, deal with the tragedy. Pelley there are many tragic, senseless failures around the v. A. , but we noticed something else, too. If there is any bonuses to be given out, give them to these people. Mcdonald i will. Pelley everywhere mcdonald went, there were plenty of vets eager to praise their care, from rehab. And there was a lot of other guys and ladies who, you know, was homeless like i became, and we stayed like a family. Pelley . To a boston homeless shelter funded by the v. A. Thank you for coming, sir. Mcdonald my pleasure. You are kidding . I knew you were here. I wanted to see you. Pelley while his staff gets used to secretary bob, theres another term that theyre learning. He calls vets customers, which, to a proctor and gamble mind, is both a compliment and a bond. Mcdonald says, by next year, there will be one web site, not 12. New patients will see a doctor within 30 days, and no one will wait for their benefits. What do you owe these veterans . Not the v. A. , but bob mcdonald what do you owe these veterans . Mcdonald well, this. This is very personal, because i served with a lot of these guys. And we were in very dangerous situations. And anytime you jump out of an airplane in a parachute, youre putting your life in danger. And as a jump master, youre checking that persons equipment, and their life is reliant on yours. Thats the kind of relationships you create. Those are the relationships that drive me to do this.

Kroft for years now, steve carell has been one of hollywoods most reliable and highestpaid comedy stars, both on television and in the movies, a gifted, versatile performer equally adept at sophisticated or sophomoric humor. But carell says hes always considered himself an actor who does comedy, not a comedian. Its particularly noteworthy right now, because hes turned in one of the most unusual and remarkable screen performances of the year in a new film, out this week, called foxcatcher. The role is about as far away from carells personal and professional persona as you can get, which always entails a certain amount of risk. This is the steve carell audiences have become familiar with over nearly a decade the lamebrained weatherman in the movie anchorman. The hairy 40yearold virgin who was told he needed his chest waxed. Were going to need more wax steve carell you bleep kroft and the wellmeaning Office Manager who always managed to come up with just the wrong words. Carell let me ask you is there a term besides mexican that you prefer . Something less offensive . laughter kroft but no one is going to recognize steve carell in foxcatcher, as the dark, delusional, drug addicted, and ultimately dangerous heir to one of americas oldest fortunes. Carell i am a patriot and i want to see this country soar again. I want that, too. Kroft carell plays john e. Dupont, who, in the 1980s, became the patron to some of the best young wrestlers in the country, enticing them to his 600acre pennsylvania estate with a lavish Training Facility and dreams of olympic gold. Carell as coach, i want you to be champions in sport and winners in life. Kroft it was different than anything you had ever done. Carell completely different. I felt like i was experiencing something, as opposed to going in and acting for a camera. It was a different thing. Kroft youre one of the most successful, highestpaid actors in hollywood. Why would you want to take the chance . Carell well, when you put it that way, it was really an ill conceived idea. laughter im. Frankly, im glad we didnt have this talk when i was considering doing this. Well, why not . Because it was exciting, and it was potentially something great. And why wouldnt you want to be part of Something Like that . Kroft it turned out to be a very good decision. The truecrime psychodrama about wealth, patriotism, class, manipulation, and murder has already won acclaim at film festivals around the world. And so has carells performance in a magnificent ensemble cast that includes channing tatum, mark ruffalo and vanessa redgrave. Director bennet miller, whose other films, capote and moneyball, were both nominated for academy awards, spent eight years working on foxcatcher. He didnt want anyone obvious to play dupont. He was looking for someone benign and nonthreatening who had never shot anyone in a movie before. When carells name came up, miller booked a lunch. Bennett miller to be totally honest with you, right after our first lunch, something inside of me just clicked. You know, the coin dropped and i thought, oh, i could see that. I want that. Kroft what happened at the lunch . What did he do during the lunch . What did he say during the lunch that made you think that he was right . Miller deadly serious. Deadly, deadly serious. Somebody who had read the script and had done some research. And part of it is a commitment, knowing that youre both feet in. And that it might not necessarily be easy, but that, i get it. And whatever it takes. Kroft what it took was three months of long days on a lonely shoot with a small cast and crew outside pittsburgh. They would go over and often rework scenes well into the Early Morning hours. There was not much time for small talk. Did you stay in character . Carell not in an actory sort of way, but i think, inadvertently, we all sort of did. Kroft some of it had to do with carells makeup. He was almost always the first one on the set, because it took three hours to apply. He wore it all day until the shooting was over. Carell i think that just sort of lent to being in character. When i was around other people, i got the sense that they didnt feel like they were around steve. They were around this other person. Kroft that mustve been pretty intense. Carell it was intense. The whole thing was intense. Kroft did you enjoy this . Carell i did. It wasnt fun, but i enjoyed it. Kroft carell has never been afraid of hard work or big challenges. He was born 52 years ago, and raised in an upper middleclass family in acton, massachusetts, the youngest of four boys. His father was an engineer, his mother a psychiatric nurse. At Dennison University in ohio, he graduated with a degree in history and theater, and preferring the latter, set off to chicago to try and make a career. After a few years as a starving actor, he got his first big break with the famed second city comedy company, which has produced the likes of bill murray, harold ramis, dan aykroyd, john belushi, and tina fey. Thats a big job. Carell big job. Second city in chicago was one of the best gigs you can have, i think, in chicago. It was a big deal. I work at the crab shanty. Carell no kidding i stalk a girl at the crab shanty. laughter kroft for five years, he often performed seven or eight shows a week before live audiences, perfecting his timing, expressions, and reactions while improvising a reservoir of characters that would serve him in the years to come. All of it was done alongside incredibly talented people, including his future wife, nancy walls, and stephen colbert, who he would later join in new york in the earliest years of the daily show with jon stewart. They were correspondents on the daily show together for five years, during which it rose from a blip in the cable ratings to a mainstream hit. Carell that was a terrifying show to do, at first. Kroft why . Carell you cant really describe it, professionally. Because youre not really. Youre sort of an actor, but not really. Youre definitely improvising. Youre sort of a correspondent. Journalist. But none of us had any sort of journalistic background, so you were winging it and pretending. We all dressed in suits, and we went, and we had little daily show logos on our microphones. And no one knew the show. And they just thought, oh, you know, some cable outlet is covering the debate. Kroft and before the politicians caught on, it produced moments like this one. Carell how do you reconcile the fact that youre one of the most vocal critics of pork barrel politics, and yet while you were chairman of the commerce committee, that committee set a record for unauthorized appropriations . Im just kidding no, i dont even know what that means. Kroft carell left the daily show in 2005, and in less than six months, he had already filmed a pilot for an american version of a british sitcom called the office, plus a movie he had cowritten with producer judd apatow based on a sketch hed developed at second city. Carell the idea that i had was a group of guys playing poker, and just regaling each other with stories of sexual conquest, and one guy who clearly didnt have a frame of reference and was trying to keep up with these stories. Are you a virgin . Yeah, not since i was ten. It all makes sense. Youre a virgin. You guys are hilarious. Kroft the 40yearold virgin would gross more than 100 million, and over the course of one weekend, change carells life. His popularity propelled the office to a sevenyear run, at the end of which carell would be making 300,000 an episode. And his career has not slowed down. By our count, he has made 24 movies in the past 14 years, but he doesnt care much for celebrity, and he tries to stay as far away from the limelight as he possibly can. Most people who are in comedy, and most people in show business, like to be the center of attention. I dont get that sense from you. Carell i hate it. Its embarrassing. Kroft why . Carell i just have never liked it. And it sounds like im being precious when i say that, because i always did plays and i was always on stage. But that was different, because it wasnt me. But just as myself, yeah, i dont crave it. I dont know. I just dont. It makes me uncomfortable. Kroft when hes not on location, carell splits his time between l. A. And marshfield hills, massachusetts, where he and his wife nancy bought and restored this general store and post office that goes back to the civil war. Both of their extended families still live around here, and they were afraid that someone would turn the store, which anchors the village, into a real estate office. So you bought this place right when your career was beginning to take off. Carell yeah. Yeah, and as a fallback. laughter just thought, you know what . If it all goes south, i still can man the Cash Register and sell penny candy. No, its neat. I mean, its a gathering place. And thats. That was the draw for me, a place that people can come and hang out, and there arent that many places like that anymore. Kroft carells sisterinlaw runs the place, and steve and nancy spend their summers and holidays here with their two children, to give them a taste of life outside los angeles. Carell i wanted to show you this. My mom knitted this. She. And she put a little. And these are for sale. Kroft really . Carell yeah, she put a little tag on it. Made by hand by harriet carell. Kroft wow, how many of these does she crank out . Carell oh, i have her working day and night. laughter she. Because these things turn over like, come on, mom. You have to pay for the roof of the house. Lets go. Kroft its beautiful. I can see why she would want her name on it. Carell youre not taking it, you buy that. laughter kroft when the cameras arent rolling, the private carell seems to be more shy, quiet and reserved, keeping his feelings and his opinions about things to himself. He and his wife nancy are widely considered to be among the most normal people in hollywood. They drive their kids to school, rarely go out to glitzy events, and if they do, dont stick around for the party afterwards. Nancy, another veteran of second city and the daily show, and saturday night live, says she was blown away by her husbands performance in foxcatcher. Nancy carell i just watched that, and i just pretty. Almost immediately forgot that i was watching my husband up there. That was amazing to me. Kroft he says hes not really a comedian, hes. Hes not that funny in real life, that hes not a good conversationalist, that hes very socially awkward. Is that true . Nancy carell what an attractive portrait you paint of yourself. laughter yeah, hes a real dud. No. No, of course not. No, he. Hes very funny. He just doesnt try as hard, he doesnt feel the need to entertain people on a, you know, 24hour basis. Kroft with that said, steve carell laid back and did what he does about as well as anyone else play the straight man. Did you ever think it was going to turn out this way . That youd be living here with all this money and all this fame and. Nancy carell i was counting on it. laughter kroft why do i feel like im in an improv sketch . Steve carell oh, its what our kids deal with every day. Nancy carell no. I had every faith in your success. I knew hed be successful. But i think we thought hed be successful in the don knotts kind of way. laughter seriously, though. But, like, you know, barney fife was an. I mean, thats an incredible character on a tv show. And thats. That was my dream for you. Steve carell thank you. Nancy carell youre welcome. And the wolf was huffing sometimes, grandpa. Well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe.
