You’ll find out pretty quickly that both myself and Keith are big fans of Diller- he’s the guy who brought us Roots, and in so doing he pioneered the introduction of the TV mini series- he green lighted some of the best TV comedies- from Cheers to Taxi to the Simpsons not to mention some of the best movies of the 80’s.

He also got involved in some of the biggest, most high profile and dramatic media battles of the 80’s and 90’s. And then he pivoted, - and he pivoted many times throughout his career eventually becoming the main driver behind online dating- he got in early with Match.com and later his company bought plenty of fish, tinder and practically owned the dating sector.

And though it all, Diller was this calm, very classy guy- it makes for a fascinating story, enjoy.
