Attention future showrunners! Think you have the idea for the next big TV show? In this 2 hour workshop, Emmy-winning Head Writers/Executive Producers Eric Stangel & Justin Stangel (Late Show with David Letterman) take you through the ins and outs of crafting a strong pitch to help you maximize your chances of selling.

The Stangels got their start in television in 1995 writing jokes for Norm MacDonald on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update for 2 seasons. In 1997 they got their dream job, being hired as Staff Writers for Late Show with David Letterman. They were quickly elevated to Head Writers in 2000 and Executive Producers in 2001. They served as the longest tenured Head Writers in Late Night/Late Show with David Letterman history. In 2016, Eric and Justin co-created and Executive Produced Fox’s nationally syndicated Emmy award winning daytime variety show Harry, starring Harry Connick, Jr. The show ran for two seasons/almost 300 episodes. The Stangels have won 4 Primetime Emmy Awards.
