Wednesday May 17, 2023
From MTV to Comedy Central, Doug Herzog has been a titan of the television industry. But in this gripping transcript, he reflects on his early days in cable, the birth of reality television, and how he trusted his gut to create some of the most iconic shows in history. Just as the interview begins to wrap up, however, Doug drops a bombshell that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about his career.
In this episode, you will be able to:
Discover the roots of cable TV and MTV's recipe for success in their early days.
Realize the critical role of individual talent and perspective in creating captivating comedy programs.
Dive into the democratization of content and understand the significance of creators in today's media landscape.
Uncover the unbeatable power of authenticity and being unique in producing engaging media content.
Recognize the crucial importance of lifting up and supporting fellow creatives in the industry.
My special guest is Doug Herzog.
Doug is a true industry veteran who's been at the heart of some of the most influential content for decades. Starting from his early days at MTV, where he helped launch iconic shows like Remote Control and The Real World, Doug has continued to make a significant impact on the entertainment world. As a key player in the growth of Comedy Central, he played a crucial role in bringing talents like Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and Jon Stewart to the forefront. With a wealth of experience and an eye for spotting talent, Doug's insights into the democratization of content creation are invaluable for any aspiring content creator.
Support and CommunityThe importance of community and mutual support among creatives cannot be overstated. As content creators navigate the competitive world of media and entertainment, fostering a strong network of connections and offering assistance to one another can be crucial for long-term success and growth. By developing a strong network of connections and promoting a sense of collaboration and unity, aspiring content creators can contribute to the success and sustainability of the industry as a whole.
The Power of Being the SourceBeing the source of a story is a powerful position for content creators, as it enables them to shape the narrative in a way that is true to their vision. By taking ownership of your story, creators can ensure that their content maintains authenticity and provides a unique perspective for their audience. Doug discusses the importance of being the source of a story, citing examples from his podcast Basic. He explains how conducting his own interviews with guests like John Mulaney allowed him to guide the conversations and shape the narrative according to his own perspective. Aspiring creators can learn from his experience and apply this approach, taking ownership of their stories and harnessing the power of being the source.
The Changing LandscapeAs the media landscape continues to evolve, aspiring content creators must remain up-to-date with emerging technologies and platforms. Adapting to these changes and staying informed can provide opportunities for creators to develop content that is both unique and engaging, while maintaining relevance to the target audience. With such an expansive selection of platforms available, aspiring creators have more resources than ever to showcase their work and capture the attention of viewers and listeners. In the podcast episode, Doug Herzog reflects on how the media industry has transformed over the years, from the days of cable television to the present era of podcasting and online streaming services. Herzog stresses the necessity for creators to keep an open mind, trust their instincts, and be prepared to learn and adapt to the ever-changing environment of the entertainment industry. By staying current and embracing technology, aspiring content creators can ensure they remain competitive and relevant in this fast-paced field.

Are you ready to take your personal brand to the next level and achieve the recognition you deserve? Discover how to leverage digital tools, build relationships, and create content that resonates with your followers to achieve real recognition!
Join us in this convo with Rachel Reilly, an experienced television star and talent brand expert, who famously built her brand from the exposure and visbility she gained from participating (and winning) on tv shows like CBS' Big Brother, Peacock's The Traitors, and bspoketv's Better With The Brenchels!

✅ Network to build meaningful connections and increase opportunities. Having a strong personal brand is becoming increasingly important in the digital age. It can open up opportunities to collaborate with people, build relationships, and gain visibility. Networking is a key factor in building a personal brand, and it is a great way to make meaningful connections, increase one's visibility, and increase their chances of success. There are many different ways to network, from attending events to joining professional associations. It is important to be intentional about building relationships, rather than just collecting contacts. Establishing meaningful connections can help create genuine connections and foster long-term relationships.
✅Create content that resonates with your followers to foster loyalty. Creating content that resonates with your followers is an integral part of building a strong personal brand. It can help foster loyalty and trust among your community of followers and show them that you are someone that they can rely on. Crafting content with a sense of purpose and tailored to your target audience can hone in on the deeper meaning behind the messages you are trying to share. By effectively conveying your message, your followers can relate to you on a personal level and feel encouraged by your inspiring words. Writing in a motivating tone of voice, using more emotive language to evoke emotion and inspire their personal and professional lives, can help your content stand out and gain traction on social media.

Currently a writer, voice artist, and producer for FOX's hit series Family Guy, we originally met in 2005 at a host casting for MTV's Total Request Live (he got the gig!) and we were lucky to get to experience so much together during the golden age of early 2000s pop culture.
