AI can generate 10 ideas in seconds. The problem is, that’s not where the good ones live. A lesson from an absurd MTV game show that applies to every boardroom I’ve ever walked into. New piece in The Streamline - link below. simmykustanowitz.substack.co…

Anthony Davis is not among the first 1,000 people I would name to host a new age version of Punk'd. But I very much enjoyed his premier of "Foul Play" yesterday. I couldn't turn it off -- and it was after midnight. That's what good producers do.

Grateful to @Mediabistro for this feature on the work we’re building at Clock Tower Innovation. The piece dives into how my background in TV - producing and developing shows for mass audiences - has translated into helping Fortune 500 companies rethink how they communicate.

He was showrunner on Impractical Jokers. Now he runs workshops for the Fortune500. Mediabistro talked to @simmykay about what TV production teaches you about corporate leadership, why most companies are afraid of clarity, and why your career should be a portfolio, not a ladder. mediabistro.com/interviews/h…

“What day of the week do they tape Saturday Night Live?” I heard that question every day for a year as an @nbc Page at 30 Rock. The experience taught me a lasting lesson about feedback, instincts and leadership. New essay: simmykustanowitz.substack.co…

From Scoopski to Cranjis, from After Party to Dinner Party, from the live 100th to…whatever the Nitro Circus thing was, this has been an honor. I view IJ as the best unscripted comedy series ever made, and I’m proud to have had the opportunity to play a role in its success.
