SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS RADIO) – “I feel like the younger generations, nobody is relevant for more than like 10 seconds,” said Olivia DeLaurentis, a comedian who makes content with Syd Heller, including this video that we love.
Syd & Olivia joined “It’s Generational” this week to talk abut T.V., along with Julia Scotti, a baby boomer standup comedian and subject of the documentary “Julia Scotti: Funny That Way” and Audacy’s managing producer for national news podcasts, Myron Kaplan.

“Your generations should be creating these cultural mentors that they can look to and learn from,” said Scotti. “And that’s not happening. So, what’s… what’s the future look like?”
That’s a good question, and one that we’re going to tackle on this week’s episode. We dive into what the iconic long-running sketch comedy staple “Saturday Night Live” means to todays audiences, whether the “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That…” misses the representation mark and more.
Expert guests also weighed in on what the future of TV could look like.
“I would love to see hard comedies, more hard comedies, more workplace comedies, more than any comedies. I loved the early comedies… I would love to see them from a female perspective… I just would love more jokes,” said writer Brig Muñoz-Liebowitz, showrunner of “Gordita Chronicles”.
Dr. Ryan Poll, a professor at Northeastern Illinois University and author of “Aquaman and the War against Oceans” and Michael Tran of UCLA, a co-author of the Hollywood Diversity Report, also joined the show.
