On this very special episode, Paul and Skip go on location to the nerve-center of entertainment journalism — TMZ’s studios — to talk to the man behind it all: Harvey Levin!

He also opens up about getting his start in the business during the OJ Simpson trial, how he came up with the name "TMZ," and what it takes to run his operation today.
