I wasn't behind the closed doors (when CBS executives discussed it). But they didn't put it in a negative way that way. I think it was more about going after a younger audience and finding something that might have more life. |
There was something about the music industry that I found fascinating, and especially at this time, when it seems to be in such flux. I kind of feel like we lucked into a world that hasn't been dealt with that much on television. |
We pitched it to CBS, actually, as a journalist, the way it was in the book. CBS was very excited about the show, and they brought up the possibility of changing careers for Tom and putting him in a different venue. |
