E! Founder Warns Hollywood: Adapt or Die (Yes, Sex Still Sells)

Tonight’s episode is brought to you live from the Spirit Airlines terminal from hell, where I’m dueling with a piano man... all so I could bring you THIS interview. Introducing: this awesome convo with Larry Namer, the co-founder of E! Entertainment network and quite literally one of the godfathers of pop culture as we know it. We get into the death of legacy media, the likes of Howard Stern, how E! accidentally created the Kardashians before influencer culture, and why AI isn’t going to kill creators—it’s just going to expose ones who were never that interesting to begin with. Larry breaks down how media is shifting globally in ways Hollywood is too cocky to see coming, and we both agree on one universal law of tech evolution: sex drives it all. If you’ve been looking around at the entertainment landscape wondering “WTF is even happening anymore?”—this episode is your roadmap to the new era.
