I'd like to do something a little different

情態副詞

and just quickly tell you about a beloved icon

WOMAN: For 20 years he made  the dreams of young people

with his hugely popular Jim'll Fix It program.

track suits, tinted glasses,  and Havana cigar.

but that bizarre looking man, Jimmy Savile,

We named places for him, we gave him a knighthood,

-that someone left in the sun. -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

Now, he had a show called  Jim'll Fix It,

And like many British kids, I actually wrote to him.

to make me the mascot for Liverpool football club,

Which I'm actually glad about, because after he died,

Britain began to find out who he really was.

His epitaph read,  "It was good while it lasted."

Although to be fair, nearly every famous epitaph

would sound horrifying written on a sex offender's gravestone.

From Dean Martin's "Everybody loves somebody sometime,"

to Rodney Dangerfield's "There goes the neighborhood."

-(AUDIENCE LAUGHING) -You know, funny, funny.

The point is, Savile's headstone was taken down,

as was that sign, and that creepy statue,

because once we found out that he was a monster,

Which actually brings us to our main story tonight...

-(AUDIENCE LAUGHING) -Now, in recent years,

there has been a robust debate over Confederate symbols.

From flags being taken down, to statues being removed,

to the white nationalist rallies in Charlottesville.

Both the one that ended in violence in August,

and another that happened just last night.

So as this debate is clearly not going away,

we wanted to take a look at some of the arguments.

at the idea of Confederate statues being taken away.

You can't pick and choose what you decide is history.

I just don't think we can erase our history.

But nevertheless, it's part of our history.

You know what, I'll give him this, he is right

that the Confederacy and everything that came with it

is, to put it mildly, "not the best idea...

-(AUDIENCE LAUGHING) -anybody ever came up with."

Because that of course is making grilled cheese

-(AUDIENCE LAUGHING) -But they're also right

And let's look at the unique heritage of these symbols.

Starting with the fact that there are a lot more

REPORTER: The Southern Poverty Law Center

found some 1,500 Confederate  memorials across the country.

More than 700 of them  are statues and monuments,

There are U.S. military bases named for Confederate officers.

And they were the enemy. They killed U.S. soldiers.

That's like finding out that Nancy Kerrigan

-named her child Tonya Harding. -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

Why would you do that? That's a weird choice.

And tributes to the Confederacy are everywhere in the South,
