Eva Longoria and Jerrod Carmichael appeared on a NATPE 2017 panel today in Miami to discuss the genesis of their work as producers, along with the opportunities and challenges producers find in the ever-evolving television marketplace. On the panel, titled “The Producer’s Responsibility in Storytelling,” Carmichael said one of the best gifts of producing is the opportunity to help shape a show and its perspective to a greater degree, a sentiment shared by Longoria along with fellow panelists Mike Royce and Adam Pincus .
