I returned to Squawk Alley this morning to talk about today’s debut of Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp on Netflix, as well as recent Amazon news, including Woody Allen’s continued efforts to lower expectations for his upcoming Amazon series. If you missed the segment, you can watch it here:
It’s been awhile since I had appeared on Squawk Alley—due to my availability and breaking news that bumped one scheduled appearance—but I returned Monday for my first segment as an Adweek staffer. I discussed my Adweek reviews of Amazon’s magnificent new sitcom Catastrophe and True Detective‘s less-than-magnificent second season. Here’s a clip from the segment:
The best part was finally doing a Squawk Alley appearance seated next to my Twitter pal Carl Quintanilla, the show’s regular anchor. Between my remote segments and his absences during my previous visits to the show’s New York Stock Exchange studio, our meeting up on-camera was long overdue!
I returned to Squawk Alley this morning, to discuss today’s debut of Marvel’s Daredevil, and my Quartz story about how terrific Marvel and Netflix’s first collaboration is. Here’s a portion of my segment (as usual, CNBC doesn’t stream the various Daredevil clips that were shown during the segment; there are placed with a big CNBC logo in the streaming footage).
I did today’s segment from CNBC’s Englewood Cliffs, N.J. headquarters, which is usually more convenient for me, but that won’t be the case for much longer. Stay tuned…
I returned to Squawk Alley — and the New York Stock Exchange — today to talk about yesterday’s Quartz story on how Netflix is saving sitcoms, starting with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I also was able to touch on my reporting for my Adweek cover story on the state of network comedies.
It was a fun segment as always, and you can watch it here. (As usual, they’ve superimposed the CNBC logo over the Kimmy Schmidt clips they apparently aren’t allowed to stream.)
I took a quick hiatus from winter press tour to make an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Alley and discuss my Quartz story on Amazon’s new pilots. While I’ve appeared on the show several times, this was my first time doing it remotely via CNBC’s L.A. studio. Here’s a clip from the segment (though it’s more of an audio segment, because the network can’t stream Amazon footage — which aired during the segment — as part of its online video).

Like “Transparent”, Amazon’s strategy appears to be offering the kinds of shows “you simply can’t find on television” – @jasonlynch @CNBC

It was a great time as always. Thanks, Squawk Alley!
TV & Not TV, back on TV! I returned to CNBC’s Squawk Alley this morning to discuss my latest Quartz story on The Interview’s big first four days online. Here’s a clip from the segment:
It was a pleasure as always chatting with Carl Quintanilla and the team.
While I’ve been on Squawk Alley several times, they’ve always been remote appearances from CNBC’s Englewood Cliffs, N.J. office. This morning, I finally made my way to the New York Stock Exchange for my first in-studio appearance, where I talked about my recent Quartz story about why the best shows air on Sundays.
Here’s a clip from my segment:
Thankfully, they didn’t include the portion where my earpiece shorted out, just as I was being asked a question by someone remotely. Oh, the fun of live TV!
I returned to CNBC’s Squawk Alley today, talking about Amazon’s new round of pilots, which were released this morning, and my recent Quartz interview with Amazon Studios director Roy Price. Here’s a clip from my segment:
I returned to CNBC today (the video of my first appearance, several months earlier, was not posted online) to make an appearance on Squawk Alley, where I discussed Netflix’s upcoming shows, its Emmy nominations and what’s next. Here’s a clip from my segment:
I made this appearance just a few hours after taking a redeye back from L.A. (where I left press tour), and was going on about 90 minutes sleep. Thankfully I made it through the segment without nodding off!
