やったー For Hollywood
The week immediately preceding Memorial Day was always one of my favorite work week of the year. It usually meant I’d be exceptionally busy, but I wouldn’t have to worry about paying for a meal, or at times even gas, for at least a few days, and I’d undoubetedly learn something I never knew before
Don’t You Be My “Neighbor”
Recently, a co-worker suggested that I look into using the Nextdoor app to try and generate some potential leads for my part-time job. My company already drops paid ads on the platform so it was felt that anything I might add would appear seamless and enhance the chances of it being influential. Not that I
The Handmaid’s Placekicker?
As if the Kansas City Chiefs needed it, yet another one of the players for their back-to-back Super Bowl championship team has become a household name. Until he was given the opportunity to speak to graduating students at a conservative college in Kansas, Harrison Butker was perhaps best known as a kicker who’d occasionally bail
At Last, It Has A Name. But Does It Have A Place?
Our long national nightmare is over. After months of speculation and out-and-out snarking from both sports fans and so-called media pundits alike (including moi, I confess), the unholy alliance of Yosemite Zas, Foxy Lachsie and Bob AIger took advantage of the waning moments of upfront week to make news, such as this summation from THE
The Future Is You (Tube).
I have a friend who is one of the more regular consumers of these musings, for which I am most grateful. If I had, say, a few million more of him out there, I might have been able to have been included in yesterday afternoon’s YouTube Brandcast. But, alas, at this point, I can fairly
Transactional Sechel?
If you ever spend any time among media people, especially in New York, you’re bound to hear the term sechel. A fascinating 2013 piece by JEWISH WORD’s George E. Johnson offers some context and how even those who have never spent a second in Hebrew school value it: Pronounced sekhel in Modern/Israeli Hebrew and seykhel in Yiddish, it can
The Irrelevant In The Room
It was about as old school a day as was possible on the streets of Manhattan yesterday. Hundreds of media buyers and sellers eagerly schlepping by limo, taxi, Uber and even the Number 7 line to glitzy, star-filled unveilings of the fall TV schedules. NBC kicking it all off as they have for decades, utilizing
(It’s Not That) Late Night With (The Next?) David Letterman
When my friend the talent expert texted me last week urging me to check out what was happening on Netflix, I immediately knew it worth my time to do so. Unlike far too many others in my life these days, he’s an exceptionally busy executive and family man with a frenetic schedule and countless responsibilities.
Happy Motherf—–s’ Day?
To those of you who are still fortunate enough to have the presence of a mother in your life, whether it’s your actual mom, the mother of your children or someone who is a maternal figure who is present in your life, you have my respect and envy today. And to those of you who
