Ep. 317: Being A Number Two

Liz and Sarah talk to one of their best friends, Karine Rosenthal, about what it means to be a Number Two on a TV show. What are the duties? How does she get into the mind of the Showrunner? Then they answer a Mailroom question about how they would have dealt with Season Three of Fantasy Island, given that there’s a WGA strike going on. This week Hollywood Hack comes from Executive Producer Chuck Reed and is useful for summer travel: the Tripsy app. Finally, Liz has a premium buttered popcorn TV show recommendation — love & death on MAX.

Om Podcasten

Veteran TV writers Liz Craft and Sarah Fain demystify Hollywood by making career and personal struggles universal. Friends since high school and writing partners for over 20 years, Liz and Sarah have survived and thrived in Tinseltown’s male-dominated entertainment industry, guided by blind optimism and a Midwestern work ethic. Along the way they've learned a lot about kicking ass, kissing ass, and office yoga.
