The documentary "Who Does that?" was created by Los Angeles Emmy winner Alessandro Machi and premiered on YouTube on September 1, 2025. Inspired by the cancellation of the CBS show So Help Me Todd, the documentary investigates the 2023 Writers and Actors Strikes and their aftermath.
Documentary focus
- Targeted cancellations: The film alleges that someone at Paramount Global, which owns CBS, unethically canceled five CBS scripted television series for honoring their unions' call to strike. The other shows cited are Blue Bloods, Bob Hearts Abishola, NCIS Hawaii, and CSI: Vegas.
- Investigating motives: Who Does that? calls into question the ethics behind these decisions, exploring why the shows were canceled before their post-strike episodes had aired.
- Exposing industry practices: The documentary also examines the methods used by some members of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to devalue and denigrate the importance of the strikes.
- Partially released:
The documentary was released in at least two parts. Part 1, originally
premiered in September 2025, investigates the backstory behind the
cancellations. Part 2 was reported to be nearing completion in late 2025
and is expected to reveal "explosive data" about sabotaged ratings for So Help Me Todd. So Help Me Todd Writers Actors Strike Inspired Documentary, Who Does that?
