CBS News' Sunday Morning Remembers Notable Figures, Including Actor Patrick Stewart

CBS News reported that a segment of its program "Sunday Morning" remembers several notable figures who "left us this week." The segment, titled "Passage: In memoriam", was published by the network on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

According to CBS News, the segment remembers actor Sir Patrick Stewart, among others. The network's summary describes Stewart as best known for playing Captain Jean Luc Godard in the "Star Trek" franchise. The character is generally known as Jean-Luc Picard, and the summary's spelling of the name differs from that usage. The summary does not explain the difference, and CBS News did not clarify it in the material available for this report.

The summary names Stewart and does not name the other figures included in the segment. It also gives no dates, places, or circumstances for any of the departures the segment marks, according to CBS News.

Because the item consists of a short written summary of a video segment, the description of its contents is limited to the text the network published with it. No transcript of the segment was among the material available for this report, so the account of its content rests entirely on CBS News' summary.

The summary describes the segment only as a memorial remembrance and does not indicate its length or the other material in the broadcast in which it appeared, CBS News reported. Stewart's career, his departure, and the lives of the other figures the segment honors are not described further in the summary.
