Person

Richard Lewis

"Television was best represented by the early anthology series. We gave an awful lot to the public in terms of wonderful entertainment."

Person

Stewart MacGregory
"When a show was live, it was live. That was it. Then the main thing was we all had to get it right."
Person

Joseph Jennings

"On a well organized set, everybody knows his job and does it. You have to be entrepreneurial about it and take responsibility for it. There's only a certain amount you can go to school and learn. The rest of it, you've got to get out there, get your feet wet."   

Person

Sidney M. Katz
"I have a whole group of editors out there who I think I'm responsible for. The other night I was shocked when a young man come up to me and said, 'Sid Katz, I want to thank you. I remember you teaching me to cut and I'll never forget you.' And I thought that was the biggest thing."
Person

Ted Rich

"Editing is just your opinion. Expressing what you see in the film. Like the director shots what he sees in the script. The worst that will happen is they change it. You seldom get a perfect cut."

Person

Ed Resnick
"[There was] the test pattern, which was an Indian head with the words, 'Experimental television station W6XYZ' underneath it. An announcer would say, 'Now we'll go on with the show,' and then there would be a switch to a guy sitting at a desk. There was no name. It was just television. Period."
Person

Andy Cohen
"As a host, I hope that my legacy has been bringing a sense of genuine fun and excitement and enthusiasm and celebration of people and pop culture to a completely unique, uncensored, spontaneous environment."
Person

Hector Elizondo
"I love it when it's right and you hit the ball in the sweet spot. It's transformative. Especially when you're telling a story and you're feeling the audience. The collective aspect of it, the audience aspect of it. The immediacy."
Person

Jorge Ramos
"For the interviews, the stronger the character, the stronger the personality, the better. Television thrives on conflict and if you can confront a president it's always great. There's nothing like going to the White House and talking to the most powerful man on earth. There's nothing else like that."
Person

Maria Elena Salinas
"We need to explain to a larger audience that immigrants are here to contribute, that they're here in search of a better life for them, for their families. But they also want to be part of society. That's why we give them a voice and that's why we advocate for them."   
Person

Anthony Bourdain
"The celebrity chef phenomena, this cult of personalities, has been very good. Great business for me, but also for cooking in general because people care what the chefs think now."
Person

G.E. Smith
"When I was a kid, I would look at pictures of all those old bands from the '20s and the '30s and the '40s and I'd go, 'that's what I want to be. I want to be one of the cats.' All of the sudden now here I am among them. It was a joy for me."
Person

Elias Davis

"It's important to every writing team to spend an inordinate amount of time trying not to write. David [Pollock] and I went to great lengths to figure out ways to talk about other things besides whatever we were working on. We would talk about our families, or trips we would take. In doing so we both came to some of the same conclusions about what the important things are in life, and that helped our process."

Person

Anderson Cooper
"It's thrilling and incredible that this has happened. I started out with this idea of just going to wars by myself, building a little fake press pass and carrying a hand-held camera. I've been able to forge a life out of it. I'm very lucky."
