First diaries, now email…IN goes inside and undercover, risking life and limb (but luckily with reinstated health insurance) to bring you behind the scenes dealmaking and delicate thought processes of the new king of NBC, Ben Silverman. Admit it, you wish you had his job. Or at the very least, his hair.
From: Ben Silverman
To: David E. Kelley
Subject: N-B-C Can you hear it, D? That’s the sound of my happy moment when you finally join the P-cock stable, bro. You’re a TV All Star and we need to nail something pronto to put you back on top. Offices are still hot but chill on the lawyers. Even Ally’s moved on. Think more funny ha ha, not funny “ironic.” Also, I want Michelle in a recurring guest spot. She’s such an MILF-think demos, D. Call my girl, we’ll grab dinner @ Dan Tana’s. From: Ben Silverman
To: Woody Harrelson
Subject: Re: Aloha Awesome hanging out with you on the Big Island. Love to the fam. Call me when you’re back on the mainland. The P-cock needs you. And don’t worry, we’ll keep it “organic,” hempster. Let’s meet up for tofu scrambles @ Real Food Daily. From: Ben Silverman
To: Aaron Sorkin
Subject: New Beginnings Dude, huge bummer about 60. If I’d been at the P-cock, you know I would have sheparded the $&%# out of it. New start. Politics work (Obama ’08) but make it funny and sex it up. Think Entourage DC. Red states, blue states, they all love T&A. Stay off the pipe man, we’ll make it happen. Call my girl. We’ll do drinks @ Winston’s. From: Ben Silverman
To: Richard Lovett
Subject: Re: Face 2 Face Would love to touch base. I’m swinging by the Deathstar Tuesday for a quick victory lap and then a pow wow with Ashton. How about a 3pm break at Wetzel’s? From: Ben Silverman
To: Kevin Reilly
Subject: Congrats! Much love on the Fox deal! Don’t worry-I won’t Bob Sugar your sitch. Good luck scheduling around American Idol! And thanks for cleaning out the office, man. Rockin’ view. From: Ben Silverman
To: Ben Silverman
Subject: Reminders - Find out what Albrecht’s doing
- Have asst #3 check Funny or Die daily
- Look into rights for Irish show about nun who leaves convent – “Sister gone wild?”
- Have asst #2 send Reilly mini-muffins (small basket)
- Make sure to attend all “Without Breasts…” casting sessions
- Have asst #1 sched haircut – hot oil too, if I have time
From: Ben Silverman
To: Judd Apatow
Subject: Don’t Mess with the Apatow! I’m leaving a prime slot in spring ’08 for anything you want to do. The P-cock needs to make amends-bring on the freaks and the geeks. We need to hang at Firefly. From: Ben Silverman
To: Jennifer Aniston
Subject: Dinner Love the low pro you’ve been keeping but it’s time to come back to the P-cock. We need your favorite friend and in anyway we can, we’ll be there for you. Let’s bring back “Office Space Jen” – I’ll blank check anything you want. Let’s steer clear of One Pico and Il Sole. How about The Newsroom or my place in the Hills? Courtney can come too. |
