Its the first day t first day was about presenting a very different image of america from the one that the democrats portrayed last week. Republicans praised President Trump as the only solution to this countrys problems. Ben tracy is following the convention from the white house. Good morning. Gayle, good morning. Yesterday after he was officially nominated, President Trump said the only way hes going to lose the election is if its rigged. Then last night we heard what many republicans think will happen to the country if he doesnt win. The Republican National convention began with the president s version of how he views his handling of the coronavirus. One leader took Decisive Action to save lives. President donald trump. But the president downplayed the threat of the virus for months. It will go away. Just stay calm. Reporter in an appearance with essential workers last night, he made a similar claim. We just have to make shis china virus go away, and its happening. Reporter but theres no evidence the virus is going away. On sunday alone, 38,000 new cases. Celebrating america as the reporter the convention promised an optimistic and uplifting message but it did not always sound that way. Trump is the bodyguard of western civilization. Trump was elected to protect our families from the vengeful mob that seeks to destroy our way of life. They want to destroy this country and everything that we have fought for and hold dear. They want to steal your liberty, your freedom. They want to control what you see and think, and believe so that they can control how you live. Reporter that warning was echoed several times, including by the mccloskeys who were charged with unlawful use of a weapon after they drew their guns on Peaceful Protesters outside their home in st. Louis earlier this summer. No matter where you live, your family will not be safe eppridents eldest son donald trump jr. Vigorously defend his father. If democrats kaird for the forgotten men and women of our country, they would do exactly what President Trump is doing. Reporter as did his former u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. , nikki haley. Donald trump has always put america first, and he has earned four more years as president. Reporter republican senator tim scott played off the Convention Night theme, land of promise. Our family went from cotton to congress in one lifetime. Reporter scott argued the gop offers the best hope of making the American Dream a reality. Make no mistake, joe biden and Kamala Harris want a cultural revolution, a fundamentally different america. If we let them, they will turn our country into a socialist utopia. Reporter tonight, First Lady Melania Trump is set to deliver her speech from the newly renovated rose garden at the white house. The Biden Campaign released a statement calling the first night of the rnc dark and divisive fearmongering with no plan for combating coronavirus. Athsny . Ben, thank you. President trumps former u. N. Ambassador nikki haley joins us from washington. Good morning, ambassador. What did the Republican Party what does the Republican Party need to do this week, do you think, and did they start it last night . Good morning. Well, i think they absolutely started it last night. I mean, talking about how the country is a work in progress and we have to continue to build on that progress. You know, whether it is trying to overcome covid, whether its trying to fight off china and iran, whether its trying to continue to build our economy back up to where President Trump had it before covid hit. All of those things. Education choices and going further. Those are all things we need to continue to do, and i think the Republican Party needs to continue to talk about policies and substance, and where were going from here. As ben tracy reported, the Republican Party said going in that this was going to be an optimistic convention. But a lot people a very re going to be vengeful mobs storming the suburbs. That doesnt sound very optimistic. Well, i think its because they turn on the tv and thats what they see. They look at the protests, the riots, the rage and they see whats happening in portland. They see whats happening in wisconsin. They see those things. And i can tell you from South Carolina, we had we know what its like to have a dirty cop. We dealt with one. When one shot walter scott in the back multiple times when he was unarmed. But we came together. We talked about it. We passed the first body camera bill in the country. We didnt have the riots and the rage. And thats what this is ball. Lawlessness will not make progress. Lawlessness does nothing but create more lawlessness. And so thats where the Republican Party is trying to y. Ke it is, look, theres a and we have to go towards that way as opposed to just going towards violence and rage. But we have yet another shooting, as you said, in wisconsin. You are seeing overnight reactions to that. If you are a black person in this country, shouldnt you be asking, why doesnt why does this keep happening . Absolutely we should ask questions. But thats just it. Weve got to find out exactly what happened in this domestic dispute. What the background is. But it never its always a good thing to talk about what is happening, what the fears are, what the concerns are and how were going to take us to the next level. I can tell you in South Carolina, one of the things we found is you cant move a dirty cop from one area to another area because the dirty cop is going to do the same thing. You have to have the the reason we passed body cameras is you have to have accountability for good cops and bad cops. But the one thing you dont do is you dont demonize all Police Officers in the process. Weve got a lot of good Police Officers. When we created that body camera bill, we did it with law enforcement. We did it with Walter Scotts family. We did it by talking about what we needed to do to improve, not by demonizing the good guys. You go by holding the bad guys accountable. Thats what needs to be happening. Ambassador, the president continues to downplay the coronavirus saying again yesterday the virus is going to go away. The death toll is now at 177,000. We had 38,000 new cases yesterday. Do you consider the administrations response to the virus successful . Well, listen, theres not an american in this country that shouldnt be furious at china for covering up, lying and allowing this to get to this point. Having said that, these are unprecedented times. There is no president that could have predicted this was going to happen. But the key is, how do we make today better than yesterday . Our testing is body. The fact that one of the things that will go down as one of the best things the president has done is loosening up the regulations so that pharmaceutical companies can actualitily help us get a vaccine. Thats going to be huge. Well have that by december. Well hopefully have everybody treated and next spring it will be a new day. But we are now trying to push through that. Are the lives that weve lost okay . No. But thats why were also angry at china. Thats why we want them held accountable. Thats why we called out the world health organization. We have to keep doing those things so that should there, god forbid, ever be another virus that this does not happen again. Nikki haley, thank you for being with us this morning. Thanks so much.

It comes amidd allegatations th falwell and h his wife had a sexualal r relationship involvi pool attendant they metet more than eight yeaears ago. Falwell, a prominent evangelicil christian leader is the son o o Liberty Universitys he reportedly denies having any role in the affair. Jericka duncan is following the story. Do we know why falwell took back his resignation . You know, it is still unclear, anthony, at this time as to what that was about. The University Said that falwell agreed to resign and then it was later on yesterday that falwell was telling reporters that he did not have plans to leave permanently. Questions about Jerry Falwell jr. s leadership at Liberty University in lynchburg, virginia, come after Giancarlo Granda claimed in an interview with reuters that he had a yearslong sexual relationship involving falwells wife and the evangelical leader. Granda said he was 20 when he met the falwells while working as a pool attendant at a Miami Beach Hotel in march of 2012. Granda said their relationship continued until 2018 and involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while jerry fa falwell looked on. Granda shared evidence to support his account, including this phone call. He was telling every time he has sex with people like to hurt my feelings or something. Trying to make her jealous. But falwells story is different. He issued a statement saying his wife had an inappropriate personal relationship with a man they had first met while on vacation and later went into business with. He w on to write he was not involved in the affair, but the man began threatening to publicly reveal the relations w agreed to pay him substantial monies. Unite behind donald trump and mike pence. Falwell, who spoke at the 2016 Republican National convention, has been a fierce supporter of President Trump. His wife, becki, is an Advisory Board member of women for trump and appeared in an interview with President Trumps daughterinlaw, lara. We look forward to 2020, winning and making America Great again and again and again. Falwell was already on an indefinite leave of absence from the university after he posted this photo on social media with his pants unzipped. He said the photo was taken at a costume party. Im sure there were a lot of christians, even those who maybe sent their children to Liberty University, attended lib erp er university, support donald trump whe studies evangelical christianity. With evangelicalism, you can make racist comments, you can make you can lie, you could do a bunch of things that are unbiblical, but sexual sin has been sort of the primary the greatest sin. Its been this way a long time in evangelicalism and Jerry Falwell certainly crossed that line if this reuters story is true. Cbs news has reached out to the falwells and Giancarlo Granda. We have not heard back yet, but the board of trustees at Liberty University is expected to meet today on a Conference Call to discuss the matter. Gayle. Oh, boy. So many layers of wrong on that story, starting with the alleged affair, if its true with the pool attendant who was 20 something at the time to mr. Falwell allegedly looking on. They have a lot to discuss. Ive seen a pool attendant, all they ever gave me was a towel. Thank you very much. Ahead, Vladimir Duthiers will l were here f cellner. Ell c right.

Kenda zellner is in talks about the africanamerican Heritage Museum andlee an exhibit for the public. She says the idea is to show how minneapolis became the center of a movement focused on race and Police Brutality, tony. I think its a beautiful idea. I think its a beautiful idea in part because the artwork on those boards is so gorgeous itself, but also because there are people out there for whom those boards dont represent a peaceful movement. And having a place where you can put them up and have a conversation about what it represents is also important for that community and for the country at large. So bravo to her. Its a great idea. All right, vlad, what do you have next .

Very invigorating to just get their hugs and smiles from the children. People are flooding social media with pictures they took with parker and sharing their memories.

A lot of people saw a very dark picture painted last night about the democrats there were going to be vengeful mobs storming the suburbs. That doesnt sound very optimistic. Well, i think its because they turn on the tv and thats what they see. They look at the protests, they look at the riots, they look at the rage, and they see whats happening. Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and liberty and the American Dream, the best is yet to come is the loud lady gone . Im scared.

Stephen hahn says politics did not play a role in the decision to give doctors the go ahead for a possible coronavirus treatment. The fda issued an emergency use authorization for a convalescent Plasma Treatment sunday. It uses convalescent plasma from coronavirus survivors that contains antibodies to treat patients battling covid19. The therapy has shown potential, but research is still under way. This announcement came just one day after President Trump tweeted this, the deep state or whoever over at the fda is making it very difficult for Drug Companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and the therapeutics. Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after november 3rd, election day. Dr. Hahn joins us for an interview only on cbs this morning. Dr. Hahn, its good to see you again. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. Im thinking its been good morning, gayle, really appreciate the opportunity. Wereeally youre. Ppreci the opportunre head spinning 48 hou for you, starting with that tweet, where the president seemed to be taking your agency to task, cut to you standing next to the president announcing this breakthrough treatment in emergency authorization of Plasma Treatment that many people have been using at least 70,000 people have been using. So some people say the optics i pressure. What do you say about that . So first thing id like to say is that i personally couldnt have done a better job and should do have an a better job at that press conference explaining what the data show regarding convalescent plasma. I can assure the American People this decision was made based upon sound science and data. We have shown or the Mayo Clinic Convalescent Plasma Program has shown there are promising efficacy data as well as safety associated with plasma. As you mentioned, over 70,000 americans were treated on this program. Excuse me, and so these data totally support the emergency use authorization that we issued, and weve been working on this for three or four weeks, and were really waiting for additional validation data, but as you pointed out, i think, in the initial portion of this program, were going to continue to get data and as weve done with any other authorization, we will update that decision as new data come, but the professional independently made this decision, and i completely support them. I think its a good one for american patients and providers. But i think the problem is, or the issue, dr. Hahn, is that it was made the day before the republican convention, so people say the timing seems a little coinkydink. You said theres nothing awry i what youre saying . The time something totally based on when we got the data. You probably know there were reports in the media weve had some backandforth with external stakeholders, folks at the nih and internally about what data we needed to see to justify an emergency use authorization, that combined with the fact the Mayo Clinic Expanded Access Program was timed to end this week, we felt that having the additional data, which we received last week and early this weekend anding th to analyze it, plus main availability of plasma for patients and doctors, that led to the timing of this weekend, and those are the facts, gayle. All right. The other thing thats raising a couple of eyebrows is that at that announcement, the president and yourself announced that it was reducing deaths by 35 . Top scientists today are wondering where you got that data from. How does that square . Yes, thanks for the opportunity, and were putting out Additional Information to support the emergency use authorization. So the way this works is that we looked at the mayo clinic data and the mayo clinic identified a group of patients, certain patients that looked like this benefited the most, that the antibodies benefited them the most. We asked for additional validation data that came in, which supported that, meaning that comparing those patients who got high concentrations of antibody versus those that got low concentrations of antibodies, when you look at those data, the survival benefit between those two groups, so its a relative benefit of 35 , and as i mentioned, i could have done a better job of explaining that at the press conference yesterday. Wasl ls had taken place . There is some concern about that as well. So yes, theres ongoing Clinical Trials. Unfortunately theyre not accruing like wed like them to, and of course, fda completely supports Clinical Trial performance, because at the end of the day, Clinical Trials particularly randomized Clinical Trials provide Gold Standard information, but just let me make this clear, gayle, the data that we need, which is a risk benefit assessment for an emergency use authorization were met by the data that we received and that we have, and the other advantage of this is that it allows patients to have access to it, while those trials are t gayle, is that theres a great demand for this. Doctors are ordering this for patients around the country, and americans who recovered from covid19, it would be absolutely great for them to consider donating plasma to meet that demand. Also frightening, dr. Hahn, we just heard on the news this morning that someone who had covid19 that its come back again. How concerned should we be about that . So gayle, you probably know, throughout this pandemic, weve been learning a lot about the disease. We still continue to believe that antibodies, that the immunity that one has is longlasting, but those data still arent completely in, and we have to follow patients to figure out how long the immunity lasts and i think theres a lot of data coming in about that. So i think the jury is still out with respect to that from a science and Medicine Point of view. Steve, there seems to be a lot of juries still out when it comes to this disease. Is the relationship with you and the president okay . He seemed to take a couple of pot shots at you from time to time. Do you think you have his support . I feel like i enjoy a very Good Relationship with the president. I spoke to him several times this weekend, and you know, he wants us to be focused on the urgency of the situation, and moving things forward, and i have great faith in the 17,000 scientists, doctors and nurses that were going to do that and move it forward for the American People. Thats ouru so much for taking this morning. I know you got a lot on your plate. Thank you, gayle. Well talk to you another time im sure. Thank you.

With scientists around the world racing to develop coronavirus vaccines, a new report says the Trump Administration is considering an emergency use authorization of a vaccine being developed right now at Oxford University. Dr. Anthony fauci, though, says it is a bad idea to rush out a vaccine before its fully tested. Charlie dagata got an exc look inss on method to produce up to 3 billion doses of the vaccine. Charlie, good morning to you. Its a challenge to make 3 billion of anything, isnt it. Reporter good morning. Well, scientists tell us nothing on this scale has even been attempted before. Now, this lab is meeting that challenge head on, and remember this billion dollar bet is on a vaccine that has yet to reach the final phase of testing. If it fails, it all gets scrapped. There is no plan b. Swirling around in these flasks may be the worlds greatest hope in bringing an end to the pandemic, the very oxford vaccine itself. The Paul Corporation lab looks like a cross between an industrial kitchen and an operating room, where bioreactors shareceith monkey wrenches. So this is reporter the masks and gowns are less about our protection than us contaminating the facility. When its Oxford University vaccine began to show promise earlier this year, drug giant astrazeneca approached clyde glover with a challenge. So the initial challenge was to make a process that could be used to make millions of doses in a single batch. Millions . Millions of doses in a single batch which could then be repeated. Reporter the eyes of the world have been fixed on the Science Behind the oxford vaccine and whether it works. But it wouldnt go anywhere without this, the hardware. Glover told us the process of developing a system to scale up like thisye they cam t blueprint within eight weeks. In all of your years, youve never seen anything like this . No. Theres no question that the speed with which we worked on this process is unprecedented. Reporter a small starter batch of the vaccine is multiplied in this bioreactor until it produces millions of infected cells. Those cells are then broken down, the vaccine is isolated and the rest of the system is essentially just a series of filters that removes cell debris and suspect contaminants. This is a classic engineering problem. How do you take your mothers favorite cookie recipe and make it exactly the same way thousands and millions of times. Reporter this equipment gets shipped out to manufacturers throughout the world. There is no time to spare, and zero margin for error. The oxford vaccine is one of several leading candidates, including moderna and pfizer biontech. Russias vaccine has skipped large scale phase three testing offering inoculation to inwho chooses to have one. Of course glover is gunning for the oxford vaccine and hes put more than his reputation on the line. Hes taken part in the trial himself. What has been very gratifying abouthi to be so closely engaged as both an end user and involved with the manufacturing. You dont get more personally engaged than that. You dont get more personally engaged. Reporter this morning the director of the oxford vaccine said its just possible they may have enough data to present to regulators later this year. As for astrazeneca, they have told us they have not held any discussions about fast tracking the vaccine with anybody. Anthony. Very interesting. Fingers crossed for all of these vaccines in development. I hope one of them works for us. Charlie dagata in london, thank you very much. Ahead, a famous new yorker defends new york.

It is that time, to bring you some of the stories that are th intre u know story you want to share with each other and with all of you at home, and anthony mason, youre up first. I am kicking it off. Today is august 25th and thats a notable day for a few reasons. We start with this one. Josephine amenta, josi as she is known, turns 99 years old today. Shes the aunt of joanna dimirco who we love and adore and miss. Josi also celebrated her 60th anniversary with her husband, vito, who is only 96 1 2. They have two daughters, seven grandchildren, five great grandchildren. Josi was born in the bronx, now lives in courtland, new york. Worked as a seam stress. Her family says shes a fantastic cook, loves her garden and a good glass of wine. Cheers for josi. Heres for a ctury coming up. And she likes younger men. You go, josi. One other note today, also born on this day, my big brother, alex mason. The best big brother you can ask for. Do we have a picture of uncle al as we call him in my family . There he is. Thats us at my nephews wedding very recently. A lot of thats us 50 years ago. Anthony, anthony, which one is you . Im the guy on the right. I just had a growth spurt and look a little awkward. So 50 years later. You couldnt ask for a better big brother. Hes had his first grandchild this year. My nephew, his younger son, just tgh tlebrate all these things this year, as you know. Happy birthday, uncle al. Happy birthday, uncle al. You guys had matching hairdos back in the day. I like it. Matching collars too. I wasnt sure if you had the growth spurt or the collar had the growth spurt in the picture. Its a great picture. Happy birthday to your brother and also to josi. And the cbs hair salon, i miss it. I didnt know we had a hair salon. Why is it . Youve got to go see joanna when she gets back. Is it near the cafeteria . Its on the way. Thats good to know. So im talking about something that is on the mind of anybody living in a city in america right now, which is it seems extra quiet. People who can leave the city which felt crowded with the virus have left the city in new york here. There is like a 14year high in terms of empty apartments and people have been wondering are these cities going to bounce back. Is new york city going to bounce back . Well, Jerry Seinfeld, new york native, has written a defense of city living in the new york times. Hes talking about new york city but i think this goes for any city in america. He says its not dead. It is not dead. Hes right. To say that new york its not dead. For the following very simple and i think fundamentally true reason. There is no way you can remotely pipe human energy and ambition and personality through zoom as much as we love it. As a result, once this crazy virus goes away, he says, our cities, new york city in particular, is going to bounce back. Are you with me, gayle and anthony . Yes. Oh, yeah. Very much so. If you ever watched the documentary about the history of new york, this city has been dead and buried so many times and it always comes back. Its like a weed you cant kill. A beautiful weed, dont get me wrong, i love my city. I think id take Jerry Seinfeld on for Something Else other than is new york coming back. New york aint dead. A student at the university of South Carolina has become a hero there. Last week he used his trombone to silence a man who was accused of hate speech against black lives matter. I love this guy. The trombone guy, thats what they call him. 18yearold trey hogan, a freshman, a Music Education major. Every time the man spoke with his megaphone, hogan drowned him out and the students around him cheered. His trombone playing got him an offer of freepizza slicesfor his entire College Career from a local pizza restaurant. Guys, this went on for over an hour. He said people started handing him water because his throat started getting dry. He kept playing until the guys megaphone ran out. You cant speak that way. I love trey hogan. I think hes sending a great message. Thank you, trey. Very effective. Very effective. So we are marking the 100th anniversary this month of the ratification of the 19th amendment. While it gave all women the right to vote, most black women could not vote until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. On this historic centennial, were exploring the long struggle for full equality. Usa today is heighting women who have paved the way and the women of the ken trcentury prod. Susan paige joins us today to discuss. Hey, susan paige. Hey, gayle, how are you doing . Im good. You know why im good . We can both vote. Youre white, im black, im glad we can finally go to the polls together if we choose and cast our vote. What do you think we can learn from history when we look at this moment . Black women were beaten and arrested and jailed for the right to vote. You know, it was i think one thing we should remember, this was not easy. We saw suffragettes getting arrested and beaten, estranged from their families, imprisoned, force fed in prison. Susan b. Anthony tried for the nvd a w she cole th has b a long suggle and an especially long struck el for women of color. And some people say that that struggle still continues today. Stacey abrams has that whole big campaign about fighting against voter suppression. Still very scary times as we sit here in 2020 on the eve of a president ial election. Absolutely right. Voting rights still a big issue. What we see one thing happening this year, women as the driver of this election. You know, women have been reached new levels of activism. They have become candidates in Record Numbers. Theyre really the voting group that we see, the two president ial candidates focused on as they look toward november, gayle. We were talking about 2018. A Record Number of women won office across the country. What impact do you think that will have as we go to the polls impact to have women as candidates. This is the year we have Kamala Harris on the national ticket, just the third woman ever nominated for Vice President. If that ticket wins, shed be the first woman to become either president or Vice President in our country. That would be definitely a breakthrough. These are changing times for women. We see Kamala Harris being treated in different ways than the previous three women who have been on national tickets. Not a perfect system, but one thats changing. Different ways how . Well, you know, i remember i actually covered the 1984 campaign when Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman on a national ticket. I remember the endless debates about what she would wear and whether she and Walter Mondale would hug each other. Thats the kind of debate its not that were not having any sexist debates today. That is a debate we have gotten past. Susan, its anthony mason. Its interesting that a number of prominent women have announced that if that if it becomes that conversation or in any way she is targeted in a derogatory way that they are going to come out in defense of her. So theres obviously a clear ef conversation here. You know, anthony, thats exactly right. And it changed just in the last four years. I think a lot of women were distressed by some of the treatment of Hillary Clinton when she became the first woman ever nominated for president. I think a determination that some of those attacks are going to be addressed in a much more direct way than they were four years ago. We were talking about the big piece that you have done in usa today. There were some names we know, of course, like rosa parks. Did you have one or two that stood out for you that we might not know that you think we should know about this person . Ill mention two things. We took nominations from the public, we got hundreds of them. The number one woman mentioned most often, pat summitt, the legendary coach of the university of tennessee lady volunteers. Let me mention another woman who i did not know about until this project. Felicita mendez, who was distressed in the 1940s by the segregated schools in california that her three children were being forced to attend. She and her husband pursued a Landmark Legal action that really laid the groundwork for brown versus board of education a couple of years later. Susan page, thank you so much for being with us this morning. Great stuff. Awesome internet. Its more than just fast. It keeps all your devices running smoothly. With builtin security that protects your kids. No matter what theyre up to. Pmind. Ects your info. G. That if its connected, its protected. Even that that petcamera thingy. [ whines ] can your internet do that . Xfinity xfi can because its. Simple, easy, awesome. [ barking ] the critically acclaimed series Schitts Creek has gone from canadian cult comedy to one of the most emmynominated shows of 2020. The series earned 15 nominations for its final season, which aired this spring on pop tv, a viacom cbs property. They include outstanding comedy and the four main acting categories. Cocreator and show owner daniel levy is up for writing, directing and best supporting actor. He spoke with us about the shows unlikely rise and why just as it was hitting its peak, he decided to walk away. 15 emmy nominations . I know. Its i dont its not its not processing, to be perfectly honest. People just keep saying it at me like im supposed to sort of say yes, yeah, i know. It will never sink in. I think im having a heart attack is whats happening. You are like 34. Im basically 29. After six seasons, the rose family has become iconic. What does fold in the cheese mean . You fold it in. But Schitts Creek wasnt an easy sell at first. Its a small show. Its not something that is particularly flashy. And i think people didnt quite know what to do with it. Alexis, youd like this product. Its all about aging and dry skin. Oh, my god, ew david. In the series, the once wealthy roses have lost everything and end up living in a motel in Schitts Creek. They thought they had it all, but it wasnt until they came to this town that they realized that they in fact had nothing at all. And really needed to learn the true joy of what actually love can be. Dan levy had two comedic legends by his side. His dad, eugene levy, and catherine ohara. The show was picked up by the cbc in canada, and pop tv in the u. S. But it wasnt until netflix started streaming episodes in 2017 that it really took off. Youre simply the best better than all the rest levy created a world where love and acceptance are the norm. David is my boyfriend and ive never been happier in my life. As a gay person getting to tell stories about my community, those moments were really special to me. I think back to even 10, 15 years ago. I would never have, a, even had that opportunity let alone be able to get into a room to even pitch a story where that exists. In a documentary about the shows final season, the cast received thank you letters from mslgbtq rely believe that shows like Schitts Creek will serve as a catalyst to help change the world into a kinder, safer, more loving place for all lgbtq people to live. When the cameras stopped rolling and i stopped sobbing, i did sit down and i read all of those letters and it was pretty remarkable. I think you realize too, television when used for good can affect such an incredible, positive change. Before levy was walking red carpets, he was working them. He spent eight years at mtv, cohosted the great canadian baking show, and was even a corrndt during the vancouver olympics. So how does that set you up to dream a Television Show . It doesnt.
