On with Kara Swisher · TMZ’s Harvey Levin Says Politics Is Pop Culture · 22 Jun 2026 podcast

The party that the DNC threw for John Kennedy in 1962 at Madison Square Garden with Marilyn Monroe coming out and singing.

And, you know, it was a spectacle as well.

And there were some people who felt that at that time it was beneath the dignity of the office.

So I don't think this is anything new.

Yeah, you know, I guess in crude terms, it's kind of high-low.

There are a lot of media outlets that have...

A voice that you have a certain voice and you stay in that lane.

And I always thought there's something wrong with that.

It's too narrow that if you have a voice, it means that there may be a really good story that's outside of your lane there and you don't do it.

You got to keep your voice.

We never had a voice.

what I wanted us to have was a personality.

And a personality is somebody can be really serious at one time, funny another time, even snarky at another time.

But when you have a personality, it opens it up

to doing all sorts of things and not being confined to that one lane.

So from the beginning, at least my goal was that TMZ should have that personality.

And I was worried, to be honest with you, when we broke the Mel Gibson story,

People started writing stories about us saying, oh, we're a serious outlet that is competing with so-and-so and so-and-so.

And I thought, my God, we just don't want to lose our personality.

So I doubled down to make sure that we kept doing those things so we didn't get pigeonholed into that voice.
