Summary

Production assistants might have the toughest job in Hollywood, especially before the internet, but the late nights and early mornings sure did make for some unforgettable stories. The gang is talking to former Boy Meets World PA, and current bigwig TV producer, John Beck, to find out what REALLY happened behind the scenes, from a whole new, entry level position.

John reveals how, well before he created "Liv & Maddy," he was “accidentally” hired as a Production Assistant for the show, which he admittedly thought was called “Boy Meets Girl." We hear the highs and the lows, from driving scripts to cast members' houses to getting in trouble for bringing TOO MUCH Koo Koo Roo to the writers room. And with his vast production experience on shows like "Fuller House," "According to Jim" and "That Girl Lay Lay," he shares some invaluable advice for those looking to break into the industry.

We’re meeting an unsung hero who climbed his way all the up the industry ladder, with a very familiar start - on an all-new Pod Meets World!
