Would Marcia Gay Harden Be A Good Lawyer? "What Parent Wouldn't"

"So Help Me Todd" star Marcia Gay Harden tells Stephen that years of winning arguments with her children, and some occasional snooping around, have given her all the skills she would need to play a lawyer in real life. Watch Marcia and her on-screen son figure out how to work together in "So Help Me Todd," airing Thursdays at 9pm on CBS. #Colbert #SoHelpMeTodd #MarciaGayHarden

She really deserved to get two segments last night. She was just getting started.

[@akmediascope]

She looks so good! I love MGH's voice. It's so beautiful and soft. I'm glad that she talked about AIDs-- NEVER FORGET

[@thebusybee7080]

What a delightful person M.G. Hardin is! So eloquent, so funny.

[@solidsnake58]

I feel like she’s one of the most underrated actresses of her generation. First saw her in Millers Crossing with the Cohen Brothers. She scared the hell out of me in The Mist. Hilarious in the new Fletch movie. Love her.

[@DerMoerpler]

I hate her character in The Mist with a furiously burning passion, and I mean that as the highest compliment to her performance. Absolutely incredible villain. It rivals that of Joffrey Baratheon in terms of hiw I just despise their characters. Her performance - along with that absolute gut punch of an ending - made the movie for me.

[@gregbrogan9061]

Wow! She is amazing! Had me crying and laughing... Such a great personality and character... Seems like a life well lived! May she live many many more years.

[@englandsensation]

I love her. She's extremely underrated.

[@thatsthegig]

One of funnest interviews on the show in a while. She’s a delight!

[@calisunbeam5087]

Enjoyed this interview. Wish it was longer

[@TonyKuehler]

"I took my parents to see this play and then I told them I was dying" O M G

[@geoffreytudor5674]

What a treat! She was a great interview, and I love her joie de vivre!

[@lisamareeaccary5132]

She looks incredible for 63 years old, i love her

[@SARGENTO007A]

What a lovely interview! Love that she asked Zaddy Earth for the donation for Alzheimer...a clases act.

[@lexas1]

That gesture at 1:27 'Here I am, this is me' was adorable.

[@crysbuchan8865]

You better have her back- so funny and human. She was your best interview in a long time

[@luciamiller1555]

She’s SO fabulous in every way and was just getting going when her single segment ended. I love LSSC but come on, she deserves a longer interview and we deserve to hear such a great woman talk. News anchor Schmooze anchor

[@katbh]

She was a delightful guest, and also I think the only woman you're having on this whole week. It's a shame she only had one segment.

[@GreenWitch1]

I second that!

[@leavingitblank9363]

Cate Blanchett?

[@calidofrio13]

more women o this show!!

[@karenling2106]

please welcome for the very first time marcia gay harden

[@TheConstantSeeker]

"I took my parents to see the show, then told them I was dying." Um... I was NOT prepared for that. Literally had to pause the video and cry.

[@joannejohnson7006]

She looks absolutely gorgeous 😊

[@sewwithmsjones1196]

Just watched "So Help Me Todd." It was great!

[@wewper]

They clearly had to do this quick because the Stephanopoulos interview ran long. But dang if Marcia Gay Harden (with an "e" LOL) didn't make the most of it. Three stories, seven minutes, bang bang bang. And that clip was great. I do want to see her show now.

[@yurielcundangan9090]

S.Colbert never dissapoints! Wonderful Comedian

[@brandonheyward4022]

Did the band play “Total Praise” when she walked out?!! IM LOVING THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@heatherperkins9737]

Great interview. Love her! (If I may humble-brag, my talented cousin is the creator of “So Help Me Todd,” and I couldn’t be prouder. Great show.)

[@darrenmitchell2830]

Great clip, but i guess the show is only for the US audience.😢

[@judithbradford9130]

Her confession of prudery and delight at directing profits from lube to charity reminds me of a gala dinner at an academic conference on feminism and sex work... where the table decorations were bouquets of toys from Good Vibrations. The HILARITY between the daunted professors and the porn stars explaining what on earth that thing IS..... FOR>>>>???

[@DSAK55]

she wasn't a prude in "Millers' Crossing"

[@vatzjr]

What a fantastic woman.

[@jeanetteschock4744]

Loved her In Pollock. Well deserved Oscar

[@St.Linguini_of_Pesto]

One of my favorite actors.. love this woman. She is immensely talented.

[@dsaint372]

She is 🤣🤣😂 funny, very good actress.

[@86Figs]

Now SHE is someone I want to go to brunch with.

[@hammun6]

I had an effin' good time watching this.

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

Next time give her 2 segments ❤ she has her own LUBE haha.

[@apster2645]

I genuinely enjoyed her performance as Allison in Meet Joe Black.

[@Combinia]

1.463.567.241 kids burned their diary after this show.

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

She was great in The Mist.

[@joanneweiss3864]

That's what came to my mind first, rewatched during covid, amazing performance!

[@christopherpasta344]

I knew that was her! She was insane lol. She did a great job for the role lol

[@senguptasayn]

Oh my goodness..that was super intense..

[@Akitten84]

Love you Marcia!

[@bonniejosavland3227]

Love her 💕 love 💗

[@Matt913]

I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON HER, LEAVE ME ALONE!

[@22Phantasm]

They stick an Oscar and Tony winner behind a news anchor? This show rarely lets me down but this was unforgiveable.

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

Now this show doesn’t look my thing BUT I love her so much I think I will have to try it!

[@MaryGladysz]

Love her...Love the show...So Help Me Todd!!!!! Excellent show I hope another company picks them up!!!!!!

[@DerekHoscorner]

Stephen Colbert Marcia gay harden be a good lawyer awesomeness job interview

[@fletcherandharris8558]

Dude was that Total Praise? 😂😂😂

[@garycraigart3579]

I just Love Love love her!!!!

[@senguptasayn]

What an awesome interview.loved every bit of it.thoroughly enjoyed.wish she goes to Graham Norton to promote.

[@ryanm4319]

Wow her first bf died of AIDS, must be wild to be so surrounded by it and live back then.

[@randalllaue4042]

It was not “Wild”...

[@betsyrocks]

I loved her in Miller's Crossing.

[@chrissy529]

She has an attractive adorablenest to her. If she was on a date, She will not go home alone other than Willingly!

[@RonWinter335]

Well...that product name reveal "came" out of left field. Hilarious!

[@joeb4142]

Wow she’s amazing! Though I don’t believe she’s at all a prude lol

[@kyarbrough100]

Hmmm…. Love hearing Richard Smallwood from the band on that intro! Never thought I would hear that on LSSC. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️

[@rustyoilburner]

She is really good on "So help me, Todd"

[@nydaryl]

WHAT! I want more of MGH!

[@handlesiro]

She is so amazing

[@NewMessage]

That gushing talk though... 👀

[@christycarrillo8687]

This has to be my favorite

[@larondabourn6610]

I remember her from Miller’s Crossing by the Cohen Brothers. She’s just plain cool and amazing!

[@deakensomoza3305]

Marcia Gay Harden wants to perform Fantastic Beasts and Marcia Gay Harden is gonna be in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.

[@1crackedup]

So beautiful!

[@gailaltschwager7377]

Thank you!

[@_aprilfresh685]

YALL BETTER PLAY TOTAL PRAISE!!

[@themlanlyn]

She's beautiful

[@lmnopj415]

Did the BAND really play the gospel song TOTAL PRAISE? 😂🤣

[@MarlitaHilldance]

that's what I wondered!! it sure sounded like it

[@ahrawa]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@TheMalf1978]

What a fantastic lady. Cheers!

[@flyinghow]

i love her

[@seamslatasha3598]

I love that she's been doing these comedic tv shows! She really brings the quality to some mindless tv which is what a person needs after a stressful week where you just want to turn off for a bit but don't want to come out the other end completely braindead from watching poor writing and bad acting. She's a truly incredible dramatic actress so the first time I saw her in a comedy - "Trophy Wife" - I was skeptical about her casting but she has such a great natural comic timing made even more hilarious bc she just delivers the lines so precisely. I loved that show "Trophy Wife". Such a fantastic cast. Such a shame that it was canceled and now this show is also canceled. So few shows that deliver this kind of feel good quality tv where the entire cast can actually act and it seems like they are all having fun doing it. (Her kid's on So Help Me esp. the daughter and the other office investigator dude, Lyle-hilarious). I hope it gets picked up by another network. I literally will watch anything Marcia Gay Harden is in.

[@looney1023]

She's in the film Confess, Fletch, and she's so fucking funny in it!

[@bilaalbadurdeen2733]

She was great in mystic river 🔥

[@censusgary]

Ah, Marcia Gay Harden is a doll. I remember seeing “Angels in America” in the 90s. It was a cultural phenomenon. It was the right play for the time.

[@marydiamond3631]

"If you use my name, you have to donate to Alzheimer's." Brilliant!!!

[@mattpierard]

I can still remember her take on Ava Gardner in that Sinatra biopic years ago, and when she played the then-Ellen Page's mom in that under-valued roller derby indie. Great actress, you need to have her back on.

[@brandonkim76]

Amazing acting in Meet Joe Black

[@siwi666]

she great!

[@oliviaclutterbuck5488]

She has the same hairstyle she had in Space Cowboys, minus the bangs. She's fantastic.

[@edw8889]

Love her

[@wideawake5630]

Always thought she was A list quality.

[@bluekitty3731]

To educate y'all a man is called a "Zaddy" because he may be a bit older but has some swag and style.

[@veggigoddess]

She looks like if Lauren Graham and Kris Jenner had an older child🤣

[@JustJanitor]

My dad used to tell me I'd make a great lawyer or politician cause I was constantly owning him in arguments even at a very young age

[@jordyvero6725]

So what did you turn out to be then?

[@oneirishpoet]

Wow you must be so proud of yourself? 🙄

[@forgeustiss6667]

Me, too. And I am. Sometimes, parents really do know you.

[@steveconn]

Really good in Pollock. New show so-so, good she has one, though.

[@0920121908250727]

Please bring her back.

[@trey3rob]

I remember her from flubber

[@williamkittler]

If MGH wants to start dating then maybe she should move that mountain off a ring to a different finger or a different hand. That certainly looks like someone who is not just married but REALLY married!

[@monicacomics]

Fuck she's such a treasure

[@PocketMarmo04]

Delightful actress and interviewee. She was FASCINATING as Mother Carmody, the religious fanatic in The Mist. Her character made me sooooooo mad.

[@jonnnyren6245]

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

Wow? Herself looks pretty looking ♥…

[@enriqueali]

Looks a little like Dianne Wiest

[@vapalaca]

She’s stunning. Well spoken, smart and pretty!

[@r-t9266]

Oh, she needs to be back on the show SOON !?!

[@veggigoddess]

She should play Lauren's Grahams sister in something.

[@terillianblue3728]

Who monitors these comments???

[@sweiland75]

She does not seem like a prude at all, to me.

[@iNdUsTrIaLrOcKeR4U]

i probably get censored, what's new? We control WHAT? Silence or PRIDE spoke THEN.

[@iNdUsTrIaLrOcKeR4U]

Buys.

[@jennifer_sunghyunryu]

😊😊🎉🎉

[@lindablue7494]

Wow someone needs to be checking your Closed Captioning Stephen. The amount of spelling Errors is terrible, as well as not even getting the right word. Stephen says I'm an enormous fan of yours and its spelled Es norms. Thank god I am not deaf. I feel bad for those that are, and trying to read this.
