It’s always a pleasure to spend time with the lovely and brilliant President of Henson TV, Halle Stanford. The Emmy-winning pro has been super busy writing and exec producing the second season of the acclaimed series Harriet the Spy (which premieres on Apple TV+ on May 5).
My son, husband, pets, and I are all up at 5:30am – but we always seem to be smiling at breakfast. (I’m also mentally preparing to brave traffic on the way to our studio lot in Hollywood.)
Pit stop at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop – my favorite magical place to visit – to chat with two of my heroes, creative supervisor Pete Brooke (right) and fabrication supervisor Scott Johnson (left), about Wowzabout, a new project in development that I created.
Our superstar interns (Isha Rajesh, standing, and Emily Vinkels, left) practice pitching their original show ideas to our creative team (me and my colleagues Gabe Monje-Paulson and Delaney Shiokari).
Having a lunchtime check in with my favorite Henson BFFs, our in-house heads of branding and consumer products Nicole Goldman (With her dog Yofi) and Melissa Segal, respectively.
Meeting with two of my mentors and show creators whom I deeply admire — Alex Rockwell (center) and Jeff Muncy (left) to explore ways to reintroduce our beloved Pajanimals.
Talking with my Harriet the Spy collaborator and co-EP, Terissa Kelton (center right) from Rehab Entertainment, and production colleague Tim O’Brien (right), and BFF/producer/puppeteer/goofball John Tartaglia (center left) about one of my favorite projects in development, The Kissing Hand.
As everyone’s favorite amphibian tips his hat to Hollywood, I am outta here!
A quick cuddle fest on the couch with my dogs Scooter, Lucy and Bean is the perfect welcome home!
Just putting the finishing touches on a few things from my home office before I turn in for the day.
