00:00So next week, those in Hollywood that work in the TV business will head to New York for the
00:04annual week of presentations known as the Upfronts. Now, back in the day when the broadcast networks
00:08were still the king of TV, this was one of the industry's wildest weeks. I'm talking Miley Cyrus
00:13smoking a blunt on stage at an adult swim party, Kanye West performing at the same company's event
00:18a year earlier inside a giant pyramid, ad sales executives on stage with light-up dresses that
00:24said your ad here are offering to sell their baby's name to the highest sponsor, the Andre
00:283,000 wearing a giant tag on his jeans that said sellout. This was such a wild week and
00:34nowadays as the broadcast networks are just waning in influence, it's now become a really
00:38bland corporate affair with a few cocktails on the side in much smaller venues with much
00:43less of a party scene. Go to page6hollywood.com and sign up for our free newsletter.
