Welcome to another exciting episode of "Beats Vines & Life"! I'm your host, MJ Towler, and today we have an extraordinary guest, the multi-talented Billy Bollotino. Billy, known for his remarkable 25-year career with Conan O'Brien, takes us on a compelling journey through the vibrant music and nightlife of downtown New York, his days at Fordham University, and his early foray into television with "Rocker Room."


We'll dive deep into the gig economy in the entertainment industry, featuring fascinating anecdotes about working with Deon Cole, the ups and downs of Conan's early years, and Billy's unforgettable stint on SNL with Lorne Michaels. From high-profile criminal cases to video tape editing at ABC, and even directing and teaching at Cal State Northridge, Billy's diverse experiences have shaped an incredible career.


In this episode, Billy shares his stories of discovering bands like the Goo Goo Dolls, discussing the indie music scene, and reflecting on the success dynamics of iconic bands such as Blondie and the Ramones. We'll also hear about his unique TV project, "Chow Line," the rise and fall of TV shows, and his ongoing passion for teaching and creating new content.
