Susan Kelechi Watson, Connie Britton and Meredith Baxter represent the best of TV Moms
It was the TV moms’ turn when Susan Kelechi Watson, Connie Britton and Meredith Baxter appeared on stage to present the award for comedy writing.
Britton, who famously played a mom on “Friday Night Lights” and “White Lotus,” said that TV moms “do it all,” whether that be a country music star (on “Nashville”), the head of a “haunted household” or a school principal.
Kelechi Watson, who played mom Beth Pearson on NBC hit show “This is Us,” added that “TV moms are no longer one dimensional… We have choices.”
Kelechi Watson also joked that “it’s ok to ask for as much money as a TV dad.”
Baxter — classic TV mom of “Family Ties” fame — also touched on how far TV mom roles have come, saying she’s thankful “we are way past the days where we couldn’t even say the word ‘pregnant’ on ‘I Love Lucy.’”
