80s TV Ladies

Susan Lambert Hatem, Sharon Johnson

Booking Overview

An interview-led television-history and pop-culture show focused on female-driven 1980s TV, with recurring external guests including established writers, showrunners, producers, directors, and performers connected to the featured series. Agencies could credibly pitch accomplished television creators, actors, cultural commentators, and authors with firsthand perspectives on representation, production, or the era’s influence; booking difficulty is medium because the show regularly features recognized industry professionals but is accessible beyond the highest-profile celebrity tier.
