Episode notes

The cast of The Knights of Prosperity

This week, we talk with Jon Beckerman and Rob Burnett, creators of the new ABC series “The Knights of Prosperity.” The series follows a crew of working-class heroes as they attempt to rob Mick Jagger’s luxurious penthouse. Beckerman and Burnett are veterans of David Letterman’s Worldwide Pants production company, where they also developed the cult favorite dramedy “Ed.” Both got their start writing for The Late Show, and Burnett now runs Worldwide Pants.

The new series premiers Wednesday, January 3rd at 9/8C on ABC.

(Note that by popular demand, we’re trying a new format for TSOYA podcasts. Each podcast will be a seperate interview, typically running 20-30 minutes, rather than an hourlong radio broadcast. You should generally 1-3 new podcasts per week. If you have any feedback about this, I’d love to hear it. Oh… and if you’re a real nerd like me, you might notice that the files have a new naming convention: tsoyaYYMMDD_Guest.mp3. This is to make it easier for you to sort them on your hard drive, and easier for those without high-tech MP3 players to find the shows they want.)
