David Jablin
Producer and director David Jablin has been one of the pioneers of original programming for Pay-TV. In 1983, he created and produced "Likely Stories," a series of one-hour comedy anthology programs. The series featured the directorial debuts of Rob Reiner, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer. Variety said the series, "ranks with the best of 'Saturday Night Live' & 'SCTV'," while the Chicago Sun Times claimed that the shows were "truly hilarious...absolutely brilliant."
