Music Segment Producer Jim Pitt has made a career of booking musical talent first on Saturday Night Live, and since 1993 with Conan O’Brien’s successful Cable show. Jim talks with Trevor Reekie about the highs and lows and the logistics of keeping the audience and the network happy with the musicians he books.
Trevor Reekie coaxed some great stories from Jim Pitt while he was in Auckland to speak at the Going Global 2016 Music Seminar.
