The creator of The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, and Young Sheldon reflects on a lifetime spent turning life’s complications into laughter.
Ever wonder what it’s like to spend decades making millions of strangers laugh — while trying not to lose your mind in the process?
One of the most successful showrunners in TV history, Chuck Lorre didn’t just write jokes. He built entire worlds out of dysfunction, longing, and the kind of human messiness that mainstream TV usually tidies away.
In this candid conversation, Chuck will pull back the curtain on what it takes to make more than two and a half thousand hours of TV: He’ll take us behind the glossy Hollywood facade, with stories of addiction (both his own and that of his famous colleagues), failed marriages, and disastrous life choices – all of which became fuel for classic TV comedy.
Don’t miss an evening of stories about creative triumphs, public failures, legendary collaborators, and the unexpected turns that transformed a struggling musician into one of Hollywood’s most influential storytellers.
