We uncover the magic behind this year’s 30th anniversary special on Netflix.

We started out on a broadcast network when everyone was watching broadcast [television]. Then, we moved to cable when everyone was watching cable. And now, we’ve gone to streaming when everyone is watching streaming. So there has been a nice evolution to our audience and how we approach [making the show].

Jon Brockett
