Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Photos by Getty Images 1912: The U.S. government breaks up the New York–based conglomerate Motion Picture Patents Company, a.k.a. the Movie Trust. This paves the way for a newly formed Universal to open studios in L.A. and attract more of the budding film industry. 1928: Each of the big eight film studios now opens in L.A., ushering in the “Golden Age” of film in Hollywood. At the same time, Schenectady stations W2XB and WGY transmit the first-ever televised drama, The Queen’s Messenger , to Los Angeles. Direct lines between the entertainment industries on the two coasts begin to be drawn. 1938: After more than a decade of operating solely out of New York, radio-broadcast rivals NBC and CBS confirm the pull of L.A. by opening studios there. 1939: The earliest commercial-TV experiments begin with NBC station W2XBS, establishing New York as the new medium’s hub of innovation. 1946: Contrary to conventional East Coast wisdom, director Jerry Fairbanks eschews live broadcast and pioneers multi-cam TV production in L.A. Sitcoms are not far behind. 1948: Vaudeville superstar comic Milton Berle hosts first televised variety show, The Texaco Star Theatre , for NBC in NYC. Growing television audiences go nuts. 1951: Despite a network pull to film in New York, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz insist on shooting I Love Lucy in L.A. The sitcom soon bumps Texaco as the nation’s No. 1 TV hit. 1954: Tonight Starring Steve Allen — late-night variety talk-show precursor to the juggernaut that is The Tonight Show — begins broadcasting from New York’s Hudson Theater. 1956: The Milton Berle Show , descendant of Texaco Star Theatre , ends its broadcast not in New York but in Los Angeles. Despite Berle’s leap west, The Ed Sullivan Show continues to broadcast out of NYC and showcases early nightclub comics such as Phyllis Diller and Jackie Mason. 1963: Budd Friedman opens his first Improvisation club … [Read more...] about The History of Comedians Moving Between NYC and L.A.

Photo: SAG AFTRA Last month, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists — the labor union better known by its acronym SAG-AFTRA, though it’s my understanding most people just call it SAG — approved an “ influencer agreement ,” setting up a pathway for the now-ubiquitous creative class to gain membership and access protections typically afforded to more traditional forms of creative work. I learned this, of course, the same way I learn about most other economic developments in the influencer space, which is by reading Taylor Lorenz, who wrote an informative piece on the matter for The New York Times. What happens in influencer-land is increasingly pertinent to what happens here in podcast-land, in part because influencers as a talent ecosystem have flowed quite a bit into the podcast business in recent years, as they have just almost everywhere else as part of their search for greater revenue diversification. It’s also just interesting to see SAG-AFTRA, a staple component of the broader mainstream entertainment ecosystem which formed out of a 2012 merger between two unions that originated in the thirties, open its doors to this thoroughly modern creative class. It’s a move that theoretically creates value going both ways: As much as this story amounts to some mainstream recognition of this new influencer economy, it’s also about SAG-AFTRA working to keep up with the times. “Making it easier to cover this type of work has been a top priority for our organization,” said SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris in the press release about the approval . “As new ways of storytelling emerge, it’s imperative that we embrace and lift up these artists.” That’s all well and good, of course. The question, however, is the extent to which the union will adequately do that embracing and lifting for all other kinds of emergent artists and industries as well. Around the time the influencer agreement was approved, I spotted a … [Read more...] about Can the Screen Actors Guild and Podcasters Get Along?

John Mayer. Photo: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images Dear John, maybe stick to Instagram ? Taylor Swift’s feisty fanbase has flooded John Mayer’s comments on his first two TikToks with the lyrics to a 2010 ballad from her album Speak Now , which they believe is about their rumored relationship. The 43-year-old posted his first TikTok yesterday — a video where he doesn’t know how to flip the camera — and, unfortunately for him, it seems to have ended up on the “For You” page of Swifites worldwide. “You’re not safe here, John,” the top comment currently reads. A few hours later, he posted another video of himself nodding along to silence with the caption “POV: You’re berating me, and I’m hearing you out.” The Swifties didn’t wake up for amicable understanding, though. “Hello mr old man victim complex,” one comment with over 11K likes reads. Most of the comments are different lyrics from “Dear John,” like “Don’t you think 19’s too young to be played by your dark twisted games?” and “She lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules everyday.” Others were just plain ol’ reads. “POV: a man before he gaslights you,” one Swiftie doesn’t hold back. Swift and Mayer have never confirmed their relationship, which was rumored to have spanned 2009 and 2010, when she was 19 and he was 32. (Fans in the comments are eager to point out that she still isn’t as old as he was when they allegedly dated, having just turned 31 in December.) While Swift lets her music do the talking, another one of John Mayer’s many famous exes, Jessica Simpson, described him as “toxic” in her memoir, Open Book , last year . Taylor Swift’s fans keep her exes in check for her, and if this is how the Swifties act unprovoked, John Mayer should be very afraid of the “Dear John” re-release . … [Read more...] about Taylor Swift Fans Are Not Here for John Mayer’s TikTok Presence
