Cone of Silence with Tammy Haddad Tammy Haddad

It’s Emmy weekend and my first guest on the new "Cone of Silence" podcast is the award-winning executive producer and showrunner of HBO's Veep, David Mandel. His comedy career began at Comedy Central and SNL and he went on to produce some of the greatest comedy hits of our time from Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm to taking over Veep in Season 5. We get the inside scoop on how the Veep team put together the last season and came up with the incredibly fitting finale (be warned: spoilers). We also talk about what it's like to work (twice) with the amazing Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and what it takes to stay on top of the comedy game. Plus, learn how Veep always seems to be ahead of the news cycle (we're talking Washington insiders!).

NYU business professor Scott Galloway, author of the new book “The Algebra of Happiness” and co-host with Kara Swisher of Vox’s Pivot Podcast, was celebrated at a book party in Washington, D.C. hosted by Hilary Rosen, Kara Swisher and Tammy Haddad. Galloway's book tells the story of how you can have a happier life by looking at things in a completely different way. It’s based on a lecture he gives during the final session of the course he teaches which is standing room only.

Journalists and Washington influencers came to the famed Cafe Milano to celebrate the release of Ronan Farrow's new book, "War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence" and to toast Farrow on winning the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Public Service for his reporting on Harvey Weinstein. The book explores the collapse of American diplomacy and the abdication of global leadership. Hosted by Franco Nuschese, Kathy O'Hearn, Hilary Rosen, and WHC Insider's Tammy Haddad.

While they admitted they know, the twins remained mum about the joke their father, President George W. Bush whispered to President Barack Obama at the Hurricane relief event held in Houston, TX earlier this month. Sounds like they also put family first! #SistersFirst
