RM 15

Say bonjour to Philippe Maigret, President of ITV America! 

Philippe joins us in the bunker to talk about the differences between working in the entertainment business in America vs France and everywhere else; the challenges he faced getting "Snow Piercer" to the screen; his irrational fear of cheese  (which makes literally no sense considering he's french), and what's next on his very long and ambitious 'to do' list.

Mais Oui!

We've all heard of The Dog Whisperer and The Ghost Whisperer...but did you know there was a David Letterman Whisperer? His name is Vinnie Favale!  

Funniest guy you'll ever want to meet with hilarious stories about his crazy years working for CBS as the executive in charge of production on the Late Show with David Letterman. With his unenviable position of trying to keep the peace during the infamous Late Night Wars between Letterman and Leno - you'll get a real insiders take on what REALLY went down and how one brilliant marketing move changed EVERYTHING!

We'll also discuss the #MeToo movement - and the dramatic shift in what's considered acceptable humor in the workplace and what can get you "cancelled."

All that and a bag of chips! Check it out!

You won't find a more enthusiastic exec in Hollywood than our very good friend and former colleague, Danny Feldheim.  

Recorded while still SVP of Content for Paramount+, (he's now SVP, Comedy Development at ABC Signature) he's got positive vibes to spare and a whole lot of talent and success to back it up. 

We'll hear about what Danny's got in the P+ development pipeline and what he thinks makes the streamer different from all the other bazillion streamers; his respect for the intense and pressure-filled world of entertainment marketing; and about the most embarrassing moment in his career - a truly laugh-out-loud story.

Love this guy!
