Jackman and Reitman will be on hand to discuss their new drama, "The Front Runner," which follows the rise and fall of former Sen.

At An Evening With CBS Sunday Morning Live, Bergen, Ford, Regalbuto and Shaud will talk about the series' return to TV in the current charged political environment. Murphy Brown premieres Thursday, Sept. 27.

Yazbek will share insight into his award-winning work on Broadway and be joined by a special performance from the production of "The Band's Visit."

There will also be a CBS Sunday Morning correspondents panel where they'll discuss their favorite moments from the broadcast.
