Norman Lear, Eric Hirshberg: An Entertainment Icon On Living A Life Of Meaning (2016x110)

Air date: Jun 02, 2016

In the 1970s (and decades following), TV producer Norman Lear touched the lives of millions with culture-altering sitcoms like All in the Family, The Jeffersons and Good Times, pushing the boundaries of the era and giving a primetime voice to underrepresented Americans. In an intimate, smart conversation with Eric Hirshberg, he shares with humility and humor how his early relationship with 'the foolishness of the human condition' shaped his life and creative vision.
