## Resource

Daniel has been obsessing over the part of Beatles lore where tensions are high, everyone hates each other, and the only thing keeping the world’s most famous band from imploding was… Billy Preston. That launches a full tour through the guys’ own history with morale-saving personalities — the people who walk into a room and immediately make everyone behave, write better, or at least stop threatening to quit. They cover behind-the-scenes moments from Cracked, the sets where one good vibe could salvage a 3AM shoot, the gravitational pull of Sam Richardson, the sorcery of Ben Schwartz, and the peculiar negotiations that happen with network standards when your show involves nudity, violence, or hot dogs with speaking roles.
