Cobra Kai - Dustin Davis & Jon Hurwitz

Exec/Producer With Noah Pollack

You asked, I listened and today, I am proud to bring you COBRA KAI, the first scripted series discussed on our show. What began as a wild hair idea from 3 KARATE KID obsessed feature comedy writers became the signature series for Youtube's premium streaming service, Youtube Red.

Today I welcome one of those creators, Jon Hurwitz, as well as Youtube Red's Head of Comedy development, Dustin Davis, for a incredible discussion of how they convinced various rights holders, wined and dined potentially reluctant stars and employed Google analytics (along with a healthy dose of good old fashioned gut instict) to bring this fantastic series to life...and not upset a legion of hard core fans along the way.

It's a great one that I hope you enjoy!
