A conversation about the evolution of unscripted TV - from the studio side. Join executives from Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS) for an inside look at the studio -- how their brand has evolved, the approach to cultivating a distinct POV, the difference between linear and streaming, and much more.

#ThatsMyJam, hosted by Jimmy Fallon
#BakingIt, hosted by Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph

Additionally, the studio creates hit formats that are replicated worldwide:

#That’sMyJam is one of the fastest selling formats in the world with options in over a dozen territories.
