Legendary producer Norman Lear, who changed the face of television with his classic comedies "All in the Family," "Maude" and "The Jeffersons," died Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023, at the age of 101. In this "Sunday Morning" profile that originally aired January 10, 2021 (when Lear was a sprightly 98), he talked with CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jonathan LaPook (Lear's son-in-law) about the importance of laughter, and social activism, in keeping him going strong.
