Good Morning from WASHINGTON, DC. Here to see friends, my goddaughter and get some SMITHSONIAN curiosity time in... I've written here many times that HOWARD STERN is the best interviewer on the planet. Of course, he has a home court advantage. No one is walking in there if they don't want to share. They know Howard and they know he goes there. His mix of humor, intelligence, and self-deprecation is a magic combo. A new one on my all-time favorite list? Yesterday's interview with GWEN STEFANI. I've been a fan since the NO DOUBT days. This was a wide-ranging interview that covered career, family, love, loss, fame, happiness and more. You can tell they both loved it and it was from the heart. In a world of celebrity obsession and objectification, this interview shows the humanity and appreciation behind an incredibly talented and hard working artist. She's loveable too. The highlights here don't cover a very tender moment when they discussed the end of her marriage so it's worth listening to SIRIUSXM on-demand or a repeat this week. I wanted to hug her. You'll love her more after this... Are you pro-business and anti-immigration?... I met ANTOINE FUQUA the other day. That was a bucket list moment. I've seen TRAINING DAY 37 times easily. SHOOTER too. MAGNIFICENT SEVEN coming... The GOP Convention doesn't look like a sell-out. Low attendance. If JERRY WEINTRAUB were alive, he'd have ripped out the empty seats to make it look full... The only way to explain the utter mess at LAX and the UNITED security checkpoint last night is that people were fleeing out of fear that TRUMP will become POTUS... I love UBER but it has a major weakness. Its navigation system doesn't seem to give any crowd intelligence on traffic like WAZE does. I hit a 40-minute traffic jam en-route to LAX that was totally avoidable... Despite record profits, more original scripted series were canceled in 2014 than even aired 15 years earlier. Not only are most of these failures unnecessary, they'll continue to escalate until networks update their metrics and business models for the digital era. The question is, will audiences stick around long enough? Television Has a Business Model Problem. And It's Killing Good TV... Happy Birthday to SAMUEL LESSIN, JON COHEN, DREW BUCKLEY and ANDREW MAINS.
