I get into these burning topics and much more with TIM DUFFY, the Co-President of UGLY BROTHER STUDIOS and former development executive at Spike (now Paramount Network; soon to be Paramount Movie Network), in this episode of "No Script, No Problem."

Tim also reveals what it's like working with his twin brother, Mike. Finally, Tim tees up what we can expect from the second season of Nickelodeon's Christmas competition series, "Top Elf".
