Description

Scott Prendergast, the creator and executive producer of CBS' "So Help Me Todd," joins CBS News' Jamie Wax to discuss how helping his estranged mother find her husband after he disappeared prompted him to write a TV series about the experience. He shares how the series at it's core is about parenting, and how becoming a father himself two years ago helped him reevaluate his own relationship with his mother. Prendergast talks about casting Marcia Gay Harden as the successful lawyer Margaret Wright and Skylar Astin as her son, Todd. CBS and CBS News are both owned by Paramount Global.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
