South Beach Sessions - Steve Levitan

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Steve Levitan knows he may never make another "Modern Family" - and he’s okay with that.


The writer, producer, director, and creator reflects on the once-in-a-lifetime magic of making 250 episodes of "Modern Family" over 11 years, why he considers himself lucky to have experienced it, and what motivates him now that the pressure to prove himself has faded. Steve also shares with Dan how he started off by writing an episode of "The Wonder Years" in 13 hours, then immediately lied to an agent about having a "Cheers" script, before years later getting so deep into Garry Shandling’s head working on "The Larry Sanders Show" that he caught himself asking his friend, “You hate me, don’t you?” Ah, show business… ain’t nothing like it.
