After binging a series of Biographies of the heads of major entertainment companies (DisneyWar, Who Is Michael Ovitz, The Men Who Would Be King) All roads point to Barry. He has a couple Biographies that unfortunately aren't available as Audiobooks. This was the longest video i could find with him speaking
Great interview.. But let's not overlook the fact that he attributes his early successful transition, from Media entertainment to Internet Mogul, to QVC/ HSN - "I'd seen this primitive convergence and I saw something that really surprised me which was a screen. All I knew from screens was to tell stories, here I saw screens being interactive. I was fascinated by screens being used for something other than telling stories . That curiosity was what led me to the internet". Barry Diller
Well if you really know Barry hes definitely a very shrewd man and appearances Are deceptive. I knew him when he lived on cold water Canyon Beverly hills I worked at his house.
@@em4227 You type like someone who is desperate. His former ABC and Paramount colleague Michael Eisner and former ABC associate Bob Iger are two Disney imbeciles who can't seem to hold him down. Even his former business partners in the Vince McMahon family are gonna be forced sooner or later to give Diller credit for buying the USA Network when a ratings boost was needed.
@@admiralbenbow5083 He is good at fooling suckers, most notably those like Vince McMahon, who thought his court-sanctioned departure from the USA Network in 2000 was a victory of Diller. Newspaper articles show that Diller sued to keep WWF programming on the network and lost. However, it really didn't matter as time progressed. He has now left the WWE in disgrace.

Great interview.
Good interview of an inspired man. Thank you.
Like Mr. Burns, Diller appears weak but always seems to triumph and proves that appearances can be deceiving.

Diller is not weak. He is accessible and self effacing. That has nothing to do with weakness.
