Annually, we produce some of the videos and sketches that Bill and Steve are known for being in.  I get access to some of these but most of the time they involve external talent, like in one sketch we had Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric, and when this happens, they’re very protective of the content since these folks get paid based on "viewership".

 

But we showed one of these videos and a couple short clips were actually video recorded by Paul Thurott.  I’m quite surprised that he got these out of the convention center as there’s typically no videos allowed.  I’m sure he was provided some "special access" but these videos are usually only for the people attending so, again, I’m very surprised.

 

Nonetheless, if you want to check them out here’s the links – they’re only 30 seconds or so a piece:
