  • “Nobody Knows Anything”: Confessions of a TV Exec – David Kissinger

    “Nobody Knows Anything”: Confessions of a TV Exec – David Kissinger
    2026/09/22
    David Kissinger grew up swimming in Nixon's pool, getting bad-mouthed by classmates over his dad's Nobel Prize, and hanging out with people history books call monsters — and he calls uncles. Jay sits down with David Kissinger — son of Henry Kissinger, TV exec behind The Office, Battlestar Galactica, and Netflix's The Beast in Me — for a conversation that swings from Watergate to Ted Danson's phone number to the time Paul McCartney pulled out a harmonica just for him. David tells the story of the president calling his childhood neighbors "sons of bitches" (in front of a 10-year-old), explains how he squandered millions of dollars developing shows before finally getting one right, and gets brutally honest about the show he still thinks was robbed of its shot. Plus: why AI can't write a joke to save its life, what Barry Diller taught him about being a good editor, and how a 6:20am hiking group became his weekly dose of joy. It's part Hollywood war stories, part front-row seat to American political history, and part two old friends just riffing. Also: listener mail about firing a friend without losing her, and a hard stance on marzipan. Bio: David Kissinger has spent decades helping decide what America watches on TV — and he's the son of one of the most consequential (and controversial) diplomats in modern history, so he's had a front-row seat to two very different kinds of power. Professionally, Kissinger cut his teeth as a journalist, writing for outlets including Rolling Stone and Esquire, before crossing over into the entertainment industry. He rose through television development at Disney's Touchstone Television, where he helped oversee hits like Home Improvement and Boy Meets World, then went on to run NBC Universal Television Studio, where his fingerprints are on shows including The Office, House, Monk, and Battlestar Galactica. Since 2005, he's served as President of Conaco, Conan O'Brien's production company — proof that after years of corporate TV, he still knows how to have fun. His father was Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Growing up with that surname meant David spent his childhood somewhere between political history and normal life, which may explain why he's spent his adult life gravitating toward comedy. Kissinger is married to Alexandra Kissinger, who worked directly with Jim Henson and has helped carry forward the Henson legacy. Outside of work, he's an avid music fan and enjoys hiking and not answering Jay’s texts.

  • I Had a Real Career Until I Met Jay Kogen — Jonathan Shapiro

    I Had a Real Career Until I Met Jay Kogen — Jonathan Shapiro
    2026/09/14
    Jonathan Shapiro spent years as a successful attorney, working for the Justice Department and prosecuting organized crime. Then he met Jay Kogen — and somehow ended up writing television. Jonathan joins Jay for a funny and surprisingly personal conversation about leaving the law behind and building a 26-year career writing some of television’s biggest legal dramas, including The Practice, Goliath, The Blacklist, Mr. Mercedes, and The Undoing. They talk about the strange rules — or complete lack of rules — in show business, why great scripts never get made, what real courtroom experience taught Jonathan about writing television lawyers, and how a chance encounter with Jay helped convince him that maybe life didn’t always have to be vegetables when you could skip straight to dessert. But the conversation goes deeper than their careers. Jonathan opens up about getting older, losing people he loves, his journey to sobriety, using humor to keep people at a distance, and why genuine connection has become more important to him with age. It’s a conversation about law, writing, failure, friendship, mortality, and what happens when you finally admit: “Yeah… I’m a writer.”Subscribe to Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen for more conversations with writers, comedians, actors, creators, and thought leaders exploring life, creativity, politics, and the human experience.

  • Your Life Isn’t as Interesting as You Think — Bill Martin & Mike Schiff

    Your Life Isn’t as Interesting as You Think — Bill Martin & Mike Schiff
    2026/09/01
    What happens when two veteran comedy writers start questioning everything they were taught about writing? Jay sits down with Bill Martin and Mike Schiff, the longtime writing partners behind shows including 3rd Rock from the Sun, In Living Color, Grounded for Life, and The Neighborhood, for a funny and candid conversation about what makes comedy work — and why some of the oldest writing advice might be worth ignoring. They talk about the decline of the traditional sitcom, why younger audiences will binge hundreds of old episodes but struggle to connect with new comedies, surviving the chaos of In Living Color, taking over The Neighborhood, navigating changing writers' rooms, working with stars like Cedric the Entertainer and John Lithgow, and the strange pressure on writers to constantly “write their truth.” After decades of writing together, Bill and Mike also explain how their creative partnership survived every argument imaginable — and why sometimes the best thing a writer can do is stop writing what they know. It’s a conversation about comedy, friendship, changing television, and figuring out how to stay funny when the business around you keeps changing.
