This is how a conversation between the C.E.O. of CBS, the president of NBC Entertainment and the chairman of HBO\u2014imagining a perfect TV schedule\u2014begins:<\/p>\n
Jeff Zucker<\/span>: You’re really tan.<\/p>\n
Leslie Moonves<\/span>: You know what? I haven’t gone away. I have a place in Malibu, and I tan very fast. So–.<\/p>\n
Zucker<\/span>: He’s really tan.<\/p>\n

Moonves<\/span>: Well, “Real Sex” is a good show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
