Stumbled on this show after John Mulaney promo’d his appearance and completely fell down the rabbit hole. As an elder millennial, these guests completely fall in the cultural sweet spot of my childhood/early adulthood. As good as the guests are, I’d listen to a show with just Doug if only to hear all the stories he has about his role in shaping cable programming and culture over the years.

Doug and Jen do a wonderful job of bringing a wide arrange of guests discussing so many wonderful stories. More please!

Love this podcast and love having Doug Herzog in my head. Insightful and filled unmatched anecdotes. And delightfully funny. If you love TV, you will love this podcast

Loved the Pauly Shore interview!!!

If you’re a fan of The Daily Show at all, treat yourself to this episode. It remains one of the seminal basic cable shows, (and comedy shows in general for that matter), in television history.

I absolutely adore this show. Great interviews with fascinating people and terrific insights.

Episode one was above average. Amy Schumer episode was disappointing. Amy talking about Covid, hosts talking about sexism on how channels should promote shows… Weak Episode with Jemele Hill is laughable. WokeCenter on ESPN…smh

Highly recommend host is great

The host of the show are amazing. It took me a few episodes to even realize what a giant of cable television Doug Herzhog is. His unassuming approach, and excellent interview skills, are not what you would generally associate with a “slick” TV exec. He clearly has a great connection with his guests, and an encyclopedic knowledge of cable TV and its origins. This is such a throwback show, full of memories. Thank you for the great podcast.

What a terrific podcast about a simpler time! Doug & Jen have such a vast knowledge (and memory?) of the TV industry "of yesterday" and it's awesome hearing stories about favorite shows, tv personalities, and the way business was done back in the day. A time when the M in the MTV actually meant music.... Awesome show!
