Tuc discusses how the show will be different online than how it was on television and gives Marie the inside scoop on what his character David Vickers is up to. Tuc’s sister, Courtney Watkins, author of 'Courtney’s Creative Adventures' joins them and teaches unique and creative crafts for kids and parents to make together."

"A lot of people at some point in their lives think, 'Am I going to be a parent? Do I want to be a parent?'" Watkins explains to Marie. "And when I was young, I knew three things: I knew I was gay, I knew one day I was gonna be a dad, and I knew that Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was going to be the best movie of all time. So far, I've been right about all three."

Watkins recently welcomed twins Catchen and Curtis via surrogate.
