Rob Morrow and David Krumholtz, the stars of new CBS hit drama NUMB3RS, host "CBS Eye on American" next month -- which features sneak peeks at television's biggest events in May.

On NUMB3RS, which airs Fridays at 10:00 PM ET/PT, Morrow and Krumholtz play crime-fighting brothers. Morrow stars as an FBI agent who recruits his math genius brother to help the Bureau solve a wide range of crimes in Los Angeles.

On "CBS Eye on American," the pair lead viewers through special behind-the-scenes looks at the eagerly anticipated ELVIS, a four-hour movie event May 8 and 11 that uses Presley's master recordings in a biopic for the first time, and ELVIS BY THE PRESLEYS, an entertainment special on May 13 where Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley speak candidly about Elvis's private life.

There's also a segment on the May 16 series finale of all-time great comedy EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. The piece, hosted by Mary Hart, features set visits through the years by "Entertainment Tonight."

In addition, there's a 60 MINUTES segment where "Star Wars" creator George Lucas talks to Lesley Stahl about the series' final chapter and offers a sneak peek of the much anticipated conclusion. And to celebrate THE 59TH ANNUAL TONY® AWARDS, coming to CBS June 5, Julie Chen delivers exclusive "Backstage on Broadway" looks at shows "Wicked" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

"CBS Eye on American" -- a 90-minute video magazine featuring a CBS host -- reaches millions of travelers each month on American Airlines with the most entertaining programming in the skies.

Other May highlights include a CMT preview of the 40TH ANNUAL ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS, to be broadcast live from Las Vegas on CBS May 17; a VH1 piece focusing on dating rules in the new millennium that's linked to new series "Kept" with Jerry Hall; and a feature on TV Land's "Top Ten" series.
