  • JRSP-003: Pilot Lounge with Madeleine Smithberg - Marc Evan Jackson & Lauren Weedman

    JRSP-003: Pilot Lounge with Madeleine Smithberg - Marc Evan Jackson & Lauren Weedman
    Dec 2 2024

    On Episode 3 of Jett Road Studios Presents, hosts Will & Amber Becton introduce a pilot for the podcast Pilot Lounge, hosted by Daily Show co-creator and original showrunner Madeleine Smithberg. In this podcast Madeleine reunites with past collaborators to revisit failed pilots they made together, in a fun and cathartic way.

    In the first episode Madeleine talks to Marc Evan Jackson (The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and Lauren Weedman (Hacks, Abbott Elementary), to talk about pilots they made for None Of Your Business, Little America, and The 5th Hour.

    Madeleine Smithberg has produced countless pilots. After creating The Daily Show with Lizz Winstead (and hiring people like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, and Ed Helms), Madeleine spent years of her life creating and selling TV shows -- for example, a topical comedy show based on the internet for Al Gore's CURRENT TV, and a late night series for BET called DON'T SLEEP! -- but oftentimes her projects were never seen by the general public. These pilots would be watched by a few development executives, and then die a slow death as networks changed hands, or other circumstances beyond Madeleine's control conspired to keep these comedic gems hidden from the world. In Pilot Lounge, Madeleine seeks to reclaim the original comedic joy of making these shows with people she loves and admires.

  • JRSP-002: Genius Revisited - Stanley Kubrick

    JRSP-002: Genius Revisited - Stanley Kubrick
    Nov 11 2024

    On the second episode of Jett Road Studios Presents, hosts Will & Amber Becton introduce a pilot for the podcast Genius Revisited, hosted by Rob Kutner and Marlene Sharp. The podcast examines significant historical figures from the world of entertainment, politics, and culture through the modern lens of neurodiversity.

    In the pilot episode Rob and Marlene welcome standup comedian Jeremiah Watkins, and autistic entertainment professional Chelsea Darnell, to discuss the legacy of the legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick is widely regarded as one of the most important directors in the history of cinema, but his behavior and tactics paint a picture of a complicated man. Was Kubrick's genius related to a condition like autism or ADHD? Or was he neurotypical? That is what is explored in this pilot episode of Genius Revisited.

    Rob Kutner is a TV comedy writer and author, who has worked on shows like The Daily Show, and CONAN. Rob also co-produces the standup showcase Let It Out, A Show For Neurodivergent Audiences at The Laugh Factory.

    Marlene Sharp works with groups like Autism In Entertainment, and Spectrum Laboratory to help autistic adults succeed in the world of entertainment.
