Think Tank

Think Tank is a discussion program that aired on Public Broadcasting Service Public television, hosted by Ben Wattenberg. Andrew Walworth was co-creator and Executive Producer. The program was a co-production of New River Media and BJW Inc. In addition to its weekly half-hour broadcast, Think Tank produced a number of special editions, including "The First Measured Century," a three-hour documentary series, and "Heaven On Earth: The Rise and Fall of Socialism," a three-hour documentary series on the history of socialism, based on the book of the same title by Joshua Muravchik. The series aired from 1994 to 2010. Wattenberg has expressed a hope that the series will return to the air if and when the economy improves, making more funds available for underwriting.

Directed by Ira Rosensweig, Josh Shader, Jeff Galante, Think Tank leans on a strong ensemble — Jeff Galante, Ed Herbstman, Isaiah Johnson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2013.
