David RemnickHOST
But if you really want to know how deals are done, particularly in Hollywood, study the career of Ari Emanuel.
David RemnickHOST
Emanuel runs WME, one of the biggest talent agencies in the industry, and you may remember him or the character based on him in the HBO series Entourage, the abrasive, hot-tempered, profaned Hollywood operator called Ari Gold.
David RemnickHOST
Emanuel has overseen the careers of Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, Martin Scorsese, and The Rock.
David RemnickHOST
His entertainment machine now includes World Wrestling Entertainment and UFC Fighting League, theaters on Broadway and in London, a ticketing company, and much more.
David RemnickHOST
Let's talk about what an agent does.
David RemnickHOST
Nobody outside of your little world and maybe my little world knows...
David RemnickHOST
They can name a single agent, until you maybe, and the first time they could name an agent was when they were watching the HBO show Entourage, and there was this guy, Ari Gold, who was filled with, um, not your shpilkes, I would say, which, you know, an-ants in his pants, but also an ongoing rage.
Ari EmanuelGUEST
You know what other class I took at Harvard? Business ethics.
Zach HarperHOST
Sean Jordan and I were just talking about how great Fichtner is yesterday.
Zach HarperHOST
We were watching Entourage.
Anthony MayesHOST
In general?
Zach HarperHOST
Shocker.
Zach HarperHOST

Amin ElhassanHOST
Great character actor.
Anthony MayesHOST
He was staying with someone else, and he needed to come back to stay with you because he needed to watch Entourage.
Anthony MayesHOST
[laughs]

RoulaHOST
Mazur
Special KHOST
Mazur
RoulaHOST
Yeah.
EricHOST
Was she in Entourage or w- I use-
RoulaHOST
Yeah, she was in that.
Jill WagnerHOST
And I'm with you, I think it's hard to really go against any of these shows, although I would say to me, Mad Men and The Wire are, are one and two, uh, no matter how you slice it.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of stuff like, you know, some people wanted to bring up, like, Entourage isn't here.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
Uh, they also put, like, uh, Key & Peele at 30, uh, spots ahead of Chappelle's Show in terms of...
Mosheh OinounouHOST
So there are people who take an issue with where the shows were ranked and also some of the missing shows, and then some of them that, like, ended up on here that some people were like, "Should this really be in the top 100 of all time?" But that's, the thing is about these types of lists, folks, everyone has an opinion here.
Carly PortchHOST
Now, if you don't know Debbie, she was Maggie in Younger.
Carly PortchHOST
She was in Entourage and she's one of Madonna's oldest friends.
Carly PortchHOST
There is this amazing story from when Debbie and Madonna met.
Carly PortchHOST
So at the time, Back in the New York City nightclub scene, they were both pretty big players.
Michele BaberHOST
Oh my gosh, for some reason I
Lauren DavisHOST
thought you meant E from Entourage.
Michele BaberHOST
Yeah, she's going to fuck Turtle for Montrush.
Michele BaberHOST
Hey, Jamie Lynn Sigler did it.
Jingle JaredGUEST
Like, if someone said, "What's your plan?" There was no plan.
Jingle JaredGUEST
We were l- A- And then all of a sudden it became corporatized, and the day that we bought, we got bought, Ari Emanuel, the real Ari from Entourage, looked at me, and the day before I signed my deal with him, he said, "Congratulations." He's like, "Now every single person at your company hates you and you're a target." And I didn't even think about that.
Jingle JaredGUEST
And he goes, "There, we have 1,001 ways that we're gonna fire you if this thing doesn't perform." And he goes, "So all you gotta do is just be on your best behavior, keep making money." And that's why these creators, I think, have had a hard time, like, being founders.
Jingle JaredGUEST
Like, look, that guy's probably made more money than any of the companies I've started.
Joanna ColesHOST
All I can say is that whenever he called, I would immediately get a knot in my stomach and feel terrified to pi- And I'd be like, "I'll call him back, I'll call him back." And then of course he would've rolled on and probably forgotten whatever he wanted to talk to me about.
Joanna ColesHOST
But he was the model for the brilliant Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold in Entourage, a series I absolutely loved.
Joanna ColesHOST
And when I arrived at Marie Claire and they asked me what kind of an assistant I wanted, I wanted Lloyd, who played Ari Gold/Ari Emanuel's assistant, who was a, a continually harassed, uh, assistant, but always got the job done in the end.
Michael WolffPANELIST
I think you could've been a cutthroat agent.
AJ BuckleyHOST
On this episode, you're gonna meet a really good friend of mine, Mr. Doug Ellin.
AJ BuckleyHOST
Now, Doug Ellin, he wrote and created one of the most iconic television shows of all time, Entourage.
AJ BuckleyHOST
Now, Doug is a brilliant storyteller.
AJ BuckleyHOST
He's sharp as they come, and someone I am incredibly grateful to call a friend.
AJ BuckleyHOST
In this episode, we talk about his childhood, his journey up until the point where he gets the opportunity to actually make the show Entourage.
AJ BuckleyHOST
It is hysterical.
AJ BuckleyHOST
There are so many gems behind the scenes that, um, stories that you will absolutely, uh, laugh your ass off.
