THR Full TV Executives Roundtable: ft. The Titans Behind HBO, Netflix, AMC, A+E, & NBCUniversal 

These roundtables are so underrated. They’re literally hidden gold in the internet.

is it weird that they all look like their networks?

i feel like all of the guests have killed at least one person

I could have watched an hour just between the HBO and Netflix guys.

These roundtables are better than college.

My only request is that these be longer. I think the audience that is looking for this content will sit and watch another hour and the participants clearly always have more to share. Two hours would be ideal, I think. There seems to be a lot left unsaid and two hours would still leave you wanting more but walking away, as a viewer, feeling like the discussion was "complete." Netflix's exec was really starting to share at the end and he was kind of cut off and it seemed like he was just starting to reveal more info that we'd all like to know. Just a suggestion/thought.

These executive roundtables are always effectively dick swinging contests, and this is no different. They all pretend to like and respect each other, but it's always dripping with subtext and veiled rivalry. They are all alphas at their own companies to get to the position they are in, and when you have that many alphas at one table, you can conclude that there's going to be a huge amounts of rivalry amongst them, but they dress the rivalry up in platitudes and cliches about there 'being room for everyone in the market' etc. Makes for fascinating viewing.

HBO guy is very smart. That comment have HOC being on canal plus is very relevant

Lady in red with ''yup yup yup yes uh huh uh huh'' You sound like someone is beating a seal

A+E and AMC executives' voices are super soothing

I feel there was a small ego clash between Ted Sarandos (Netflix) and Richard Plepler (HBO)

I wish there had been annotations that explained some of the jargon they were using, as I wasn't always able to follow. They do this with most (if not all) of the other roundtables. Regardless, it was fascinating and I love feeling like we're able to go behind the scenes.

I thoroughly love watching these round tables. I hope you continue with them and do more and more. They are so informative and fascinating to watch. Thank you for creating these!

This is great, the best roundtable of all...

Ready for the Movie Studio Heads Round table between Disney, Warner Brothers and Universal Hopefully they all can make it this time around

I like the Netflix guy... a feel like this round table's personalities reflect the brands very well ;) any thoughts?

didnt understand most of the terms they used and some of what they talked about but the whole thing felt so engaging its hard not to listen. I love these interviews

this was very interesting to watch, I really enjoyed this

Man, the HBO guy quoted Hyman Roth from Godfather - part 2?!?

These are great! Please keep making them

Wow what a mind blowing roundtable!

One day i'm gonna have my own network...dreams are valid!

love the round tables! mostly the director ones

Yep ... yep yep yep yep yep yup ... yuuup. yep. .... yep. ... uh-huuuuuh.

im not overwhelmed as an audience member

Waiting for HBO to play the GOT card

amazing round table

I love your willingness to let me be myself and be creative and I’m looking forward to collaborating.

Great round table but we need more leaders to reflect a more diverse world.

Best roundtable yet! But the male moderator is so bad... I've enjoyed the elevated conversations since the female moderator over this year... Can we just keep it that way? Thank you for continuously bringing interesting conversations and not just shallow ones anymore!

Great new round table. Was way more interesting than the mostly stuffy movie execs on the studio head round tables.

It’s great to see three female execs running their brands. The HBO guy was trying to assert his dominance over all the other alphas... The AMC guy seems thoughtful and quiet and the Netflix guy didn’t have to say much since his brand is so successful and seems to be the game changer in the industry.

UH UH...YES! UH UH! Uh Uh...

I learned more about businesses, Streaming platforms and content in 50 min, than in the 5 years that I have been searching and researching information about this myself. Why I really like movies, and what I see.But also what is behind it (Rivalries, jokes, respect etc)👌

Can someone please explain what: L7, L30, L60, L150 mean? In context: Sarandos said "The better monetization for that show would probably be subscription, right? Because L7, L30, L60, L150, all those are not monetized equally. "

Will there be more round tables? I hope there is a directing one

24:00 Tell us your ratings netflix. "Hahahahahahaha". ( No, really tell us now. )

Why is the man back?? Lacey was doing really well by herself

We need a streaming service round table (post lockdown) . I wonder who lead it all

I wish they would have talked about How Screenplays/Scripts get Greenlit/Produced for New and Original Content. I have a Screenplay/Script that I'd like to get made.

Yes

Does Lacy intentionally go UH HUH so constantly - just for the troll factor

Personally, I think more executives should look at the end user first, "the audience" and then they will get an idea of what brand is right for them. You offer more to the customer!

Yes must fit the brand 🔺️

Netflix killed your dinosaur companies...

Mobility is the key to success, people want to take their entertainment with them.

I come from Europe. Neither me (67 years young::))) , nor my children (36 and 39) own a TV subscription. We gave up TV like a decade ago. We use the plasmas just for movies, documentaries, youtube.We find that it helps immensely with the development of critical thiking of our small ones. Plus, we optimize the use of our leisure time.

The "uh huhs" and "mmhmms" from the host interviewer are annoying and distracting, join a toastmaster group and get rid of that bad habit.

Are these the same people who keeps cancelling my favorite tv shows?

Pick a part

Mhm, yup, yep, yeah, mhm, yup, yup, yap, yap, mhm, yup, yeah, mhm, yeah, mhm, mhm, yup

I loved the get down. Tragic it got cancelled

love these roundtables, but it's a bit annoying to get a constant 'yep, yep, aha, aha, yes, yes,' I'm sure the lady in red is very good, but the pop song lyrics in between the talks are distracting

What does Sarandos (netflix guy) say around 12:10? Something wildly popular all over the world?

Netflix la tiene clara

great roundtable, but geez - why didn't they let the guy from AMC talk more? i was so frustrated throughout that they were ignoring him when he wanted to jump in, and not asking him more direct questions. yes HBO & netflix guys were very interesting, but i would've loved to have heard more from AMC exec, who wasn't able to jump in there as much as the two women execs were.

audiences are not overwhelmed. that was such an egotistical comment. we're not overwhelmed because we get to decide what we watch and what we binge and what we scroll by.

Long Live Adam Sandler

Team up

My comment to the Netflix and HBO guys.... STOP CANCELLING YOUR SHOWS!!!

HBO>NETFLIX

Would like to be able to see the IQs of the people of all THR Roundtables. I bet would be averaging around 120-130.

make a showrunner segment pleaseeee

12 minuts and the guy from AMC hasn't spoken???

the first gentleman speaking is very sensible and saying something which is true even in competitive world and right kind of attitude, i can say even in my capacity of professional in mumbai and yet to begin here... I rather got encouraged by a good work somewhere and would maybe want to make something better upping the game... it is very curious factor with me that I do not feel jealous not even in my personal relations it is a negative emotion, it wants to destroy other from whom you feel jealous, I would rather turn it into positive, if that makes me enlightened "buddha- buddhi:) so be it, I even promote products in consumer or entertainment sector just because.. they are good to my palate or taste without being paid to do so...so others can sample it and see whether it makes them also feel good. the way I see it there are lot of mergers and co companies are going to form, it is better to share than struggle to fend or try to earn stand alone in today's avalanche of online streaming or cable, television, massive exodus happened with Fox mergers with Disney … maybe others can see possibilities too. online streaming, television is here to stay... films productions theatrical ones are shrinking as people are having alternative platforms sitting right at home, so now films will be made targeted towards these outlets at least in digi modern nations.

Why did they bring the man back? She's been incredible all the rest of this season.

That guy reminds me of Ron Burgndy

Lacey Rose isn't a bad interviewer, but when circled by the cool demeanor and poised attitudes of major execs all the affirmations seem naive and excited. Turn her mic down just a tad on the back end, and make a stronger effort to use less verbal affirmations and she's fine.

Pie for all

I love stranger things!

Put down that book and pick up the remote

NBC universal consumers shop at wal mart

These things are pretty great all around. This one features some of the biggest wage earners I'll ever watch talking shop. Discussing some very competitive issues in a respectful and friendly fashion. And the Hosts are seriously good at what they do. They seem more youthful and wide eyed in this one; but you would expect that as they are conducting things with those who are some of the Giants (excuse me; Titans) of their business. So Boo Hoo to all the Haters below ('She just says Yep!', 'He sounds Gay!'...I remember when I was that _______ too) I can't wait to see the Oil Industry Round Tables next!;-) One could feature Barons and Sultans and Political Leaders; then have different generations of who works/worked at Gas Stations.

This turned into a I can top you game everyone started mention there directors

Flip it on its head

Multiply

Should I smack myself on the head for picking only the roundtables hosted by Lacey Rose?

Pick a part base many ways

🍾

I love the conductors... if these could be longer all people who are interested in the entertainment industry would watch The male host has a problem with Netflix I feel

I feel like whoever is the head of RU-vid should have been on here. It's more of a social media outlet, but very popular series have had some sort of start here.

DUN DUN DUN DUH-DUH-DUN DUH-DUH-DUN

Dat her "Yes!" thing is bigass loud

Raw

when did bob barker become president of HBO

richard peppler

I loved Political Animals!!!

🌻

YES...UH UH UH YAH..YAH...UH...YEP SQEEEEEEEE

🎬

A+E doesn't talk too much lol

these movie/TV roundtable are lacking 1 most important element. I wish that they included someone from the audience.. especially theatrical released movies. if I was there as a consumer/ movie goer.. I would've let them know how we (the audience) feel. perfect example... how we don't care for TV commercials, or advertisements that we see at home on TV. The whole point of enjoyment is experiencing the theater experience away from home. Why are we seeing TV ads at the theater? I found out this is why everyone waits outside the theater to wait for the trailers and the feature.

Great discussion, interesting insights. Wish that there was some discussion about the diversity topic, #OscarsSoWhite isn't just about the movies... Television is a part of that too.

It just kills me when the host says 'UH HUH' - she's amazing otherwise.

Uh huh.. JK, I love Lacey!

I just wish that the interviewer in red wasnt that talkative.

Drag net

I'm sure she's a nice lady, but I can't look at the NBC exec without seeing Myra Licht from Episodes.

Mix it up like mix bag of 🍭🍬

Ok
