Was the 25 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: very first Carne Awards. 26 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: Well that was down with the first show. 27 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 3: We dreamed it up in two thousand and three or 28 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: four just to be. 29 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so what's it about? 30 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: And when we get into that, we'll understand why Jason 31 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: is here? 32 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: And is he here?

All right, go, David go. 34 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 3: So we came up with the idea we wanted to. 35 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: My brother and I were always fascinated by that guy. 36 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: We love that guy. Don't know his name, but you 37 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 3: see him in every movie, every TV show, whether it's 38 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: an actor or actress. And they never got their due. 39 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: They never won an Emmy, an Academy Award. And we said, 40 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: these people need to be honored. They're everywhere, nobody knows 41 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: who they are, so why don't we create a show 42 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 3: that honors them. And we thought that one of the 43 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: greatest characters and actors of all time was Art Carney 44 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 3: aka Ed Norton and a couple of one hundred other 45 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: movies and TV shows, and so we went to the 46 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: family of Art Carney, and we went to Art Carney 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: and he said absolutely, and that was the birth of 48 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: the Carney Awards and the road to get to November 49 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: of twenty fifteen was about ten to fifteen years in 50 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: the making, but we had our first show in Los 51 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: Angeles in twenty fifteen, and it was to honor people 52 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 3: like our guest Jason Kravitz.
