When Shark Tank came out, how long did
00:00:01
it take for that to sort of catch on or
00:00:02
was it immediate? I can't remember.
00:00:04
>> Got cancelled three years in a row. The
00:00:06
story is legendary. Every year it got
00:00:08
cancelled. Everybody hated us. But
00:00:10
Willow Bay was married to Iger and she
00:00:14
was raising kids with Iger and they
00:00:16
loved the show. So every time he'd come
00:00:18
home saying, "Ah, we whack those guys on
00:00:19
Shark Tank." She said, "No, no, no, no,
00:00:21
no. We're not whacking Shark Tank. Our
00:00:22
kids like it. Other families like it.
00:00:24
It's the only thing on TV that doesn't
00:00:26
have everybody naked screaming about
00:00:28
sex." And so it became a family hit and
00:00:30
then the fourth year it just went
00:00:32
geometric. Poo poo happens. You know,
00:00:34
>> I'm glad they didn't go into like Shark
00:00:35
Tank Island where they're all dating.
00:00:37
>> No, no, we did that. We said it was
00:00:39
called Beyond the Tank. Right into the
00:00:41
poop shoot.
00:00:43
>> That's the first time someone has said
00:00:44
poop shoot on this podcast. Thank you
00:00:47
for that. You'd think it would be a lot.
00:00:48
No one said it yet.
