Today's guest, David, is probably one of the most influential producers of television of all time,

especially right now, Ted Sarandos of Netflix, who's in charge of billions of dollars allocated to shows,

and is also an incredible Saturday Night Live and stand-up comedy fan.

And he's a very good friend of David's.

I know him casually, but he's a really nice guy.

David?

I agree.

He knows S&L, he knows the podcast, he listens and has comments all the time, which is very nice for a

guy who could not be more busy.

We talked about his schedule, we talked about all these shows he has to keep an eye on, the pressures of being the boss.

I always think of him up in the world of those guys that run companies like Bezos. think you were saying you know Ted's so normal he's not

jacked and juiced yet he's the most regular humble person you'd ever meet he has not gotten on a boat. He hasn't made a boat. Yeah, he hasn't made a rocket ship yet. But he's just a powerful guy that's very low key, so I like that kind of thing.

Very fun, great laughter,

knows a ton about comedy,

and we get into different comic specials,

and he gets a lot of pressure sometimes

when things seemingly go too far and what do you do about that?

And we had a lot of great talk with him and all of his shows he's doing that are hitting.

And how do you know when the shows ahead?

All over the world, you know, what the Squid game meant to these streaming platforms and one of the biggest

hits in history and the authenticity of it and why and so it's

it's really just about the future all this program.
