Inside Out with Paul Mecurio

Latest Episodes:

Tom Fontana - Emmy winning TV show creator, writer, producer Mar 20, 2017

Show notes

Tom created the groundbreaking HBO series "Oz" and NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street," among others. "Oz" set the stage for serialized dramas with flawed characters like "The Sopranos," "Game of Thrones" and more. Tom also is known for "Copper," "Borgia," and "St. Elsewhere." My good friend Tom talks writing at a very young age, like play at the age of 9 and at 11 writing a book where people could get pregnant without touching each other. We discuss his unique writing process -- you gotta hear it -- what he wants people to take from his amazing body of work, how it is much harder to get creative freedom in television these days and much, much more. This is amazing insight into one of the most brilliant writers and producers in the last half century. No joke!

Show notes

A great chat with my friend Rob. We worked together on “The Daily Show” for years and talk about everything from his great TV and movie career, including how his days on “The Daily Show” got him his big start. How he copied Stephen Colbert’s character, responding to people on twitter, his fascination with Michael Bay and what it is about his sweat glands that require him to have an industrial strength air conditioner. This was a lot of fun. Rob is hilarious as always. Release date - 03/06/17
