This is a report some of you may have caught on "60 Minutes: Overtime," but it's really cool to see.

Correspondent Steve Kroft spends time with "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone while they go through their creative process in making an episode of the Comedy Central show.

And while its style of art on the show could hardly be described as "detailed," I still had no idea an animated episode could be turned around so quickly. It happens in about six days, says Kroft; Everything from breaking down the story as a group to recording to animation.

"I think one of the reasons they always do "South Park" at the last minute -- which I fought them on for 15 years -- is because they always think they're going to find something funnier if they just don't put it down until the very last minute," co-executive producer Anne Garefino said in the segment.

Hats off to Parker and Stone.
