THE EXHIBIT'S PROJECT MANAGER ON

OUR WEBSITE.

>>> AFTER MORE THAN 30 YEARS ON

THE JOB, CORRESPONDENT MIKE

LEONARD RETIRED FROM NBC'S

"TODAY" SHOW IN 2012.

BUT HE HAS NOT SLOWED DOWN OR

STRAYED FROM TELLING STORIES OF

ORDINARY PEOPLE.

IN A NEW SERIES CALLED inCOMMON

HE FOCUSED ON MOMENTS OF

PEOPLE'S LIVES WHERE THEY DO

GOOD WORK AND TOUCH THE LOVES OF

OTHERS.

IN THE SERIES OF THE FIRST

EPISODE, THIS FRIDAY NIGHT IS

THE CHICAGO AREA'S OWN MIKE

LEONARD.

WELCOME BACK TO "CHICAGO

TONIGHT."

>> I'M VERY WELL, THANK YOU.

>> WHAT IS THE NEW SHOW ABOUT?

>> IT IS CALLED inCOMMON ABOUT

THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN COMMON,

ALL OF US.

AND ABOUT KIND OF THE COMMON

THINGS THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED.

THAT HAPPEN EVERY DAY.

AND I, A FILM MacKER A HOME

MOVIE MAKER I THOUGHT THE LITTLE

MOMENTS WITH MY CHILDREN WERE

THE GREAT MOMENTS.

NOTHING WAS HAPPENING, WASN'T A

BIRTHDAY, MIGHT BE LOOKING OUT A

WINDOW.

I KNOW PEOPLE RELATE TO THAT

STUFF.

AND EACH EPISODE EXPLORES A

TYPICAL THEME.

>> THE FIRST EPISODE IS ABOUT

TIME.

I THAT I THAT IS THE GREAT MOAT

WITTOR FOR ME AND MANY PEOPLE OR

OUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

AND THERE IS ONE ON FATE AND

DISTIN KNEE AND HOPE AND ONE ON

ACCEPTANCE.

EACH HALF HOUR HAS A THEME AND

ALL OF THE PIECES IN THAT HALF

HOUR, NOT ALWAYS IN SUCH AN

OBVIOUS WAY.

LET'S LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF A

PIECE, A CLIP TOWARD THE

BEGINNING OF THE SEGMENT.

HAS TO DO WITH HOME MOVIES.

THE VIETNAM WAR WAS DRAG ON AND

SOCIETY WAS MOVING ON.

SHEDDING TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS

IN THE STYLE AND MANOR NEVER

BEFORE SEEN IN AMERICA.

LIFE WAS CHANGING RAPIDLY AND I

WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL

FOCUSING MY CAMERA ON MOMENTS

BIG AND SMALL, FIGHTING MY

BATTLE WITH TIME, AND LEARNING

ALONG THE WAY THAT THE PAYOFF

DIDN'T COME WITH WHEN THE FILL

WAS DEVELOPED.

IT WAS THE ACT OF FILMING THAT

SEEMED TO MAKE LIFE SLOWDOWN.

BY PEERING THANK YOU VIEW-FINDER

FOR A BETTER ANGLE OF A QUIET

MOMENT.

LIKE CLIMBING ON TO THE ROOF OF

MY HOUSE FOR A MORE TRAMATIC

VIEW OF A STROLL DOWN THE

SIDEWALK.

AND FRAMING MOST ORDINARY

ASPECTS OF LIFE IN WAYS TO BE

NOTED AND REMEMBERED.

WNS THAT REALLYSATION KICKED IN

I KNEW MY GRIP ON THE MOVIE

CAMERA WOULD NEVER LOOSEN AND MY

ONLY CHANCE OF MAKE ANYTHING

IMPACT IN LIFE IS TIED TO THOSE

BITS AND PIECES OF LIFE THAT TIE

ALL OF US TOGETHER.

MIKE, HOME VIDEO STYLE CAMERA

WORK IS YOUR SIGNATURE.

WHY DID THAT BECOME YOUR TECH

MEEK?

>> I STARTED AT HOME.

AND I KNOW THE CHILDREN WERE

NEVER THAN ENTIM DATED BY IT.

WHEN I WAS AT THE "TODAY" SHOW

FIRST I USED THE BIG CAMERAS,

AND MFRT OF THE STORIES I DID

WERE OF PEOPLE THAT NEVER HAD

BEEN ON TV BEFORE.

AND YOU TURN THAT LIGHT ON AND

THEY CHANGE.

I FOUND WHEN THE QUALITY WAS

BETTER WITH LITTLE CAMERAS IT

WAS JUST ME AND THE CAMERA.

>> YOU SHOT YOUR OWN AT THE END?

>> AND COY GET CLOSE TO THEM AND

THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE CAMERA

BECAUSE IT WAS LITTLE.

AND THE QUALITY WAS GOOD.

THINKINGS WERE WAY MORE

REALISTIC.

>> WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU

FOCUS ON?

WHY DID YOU PUT IN THE EPISODE?

>> MY WIFE AND I LIVED IN

PHOENIX AND THAT IS WHERE I GOT

INTO TV, LATE, WHEN I WAS 31.

LOOKING FOR A TV JOB, NO

JOURNALISTIC EXPERIENCE, HE'S IN

THE QUALIFIED.

THIS JOB REQUIRES, AND DANNY

LOOKING FOR A COACHING JOB, WE

WERE IN THE SAME AGE.

I GOT MY JOB IN TV AND DANNY GOT

A JOB AS A HIGH SCHOOL COACH AND

WE SEPARATED AND I GOT A CALL A

COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND HE SAID

MIKE, REMEMBER ME.

OF COURSE, FROM BROOKLYN AND I

CAME TO PHOENIX ON A WHIM AND

GOT A JOB AS A DRIVER'S ED

INSTRUCTOR.

I KNOW I CAN BECOME A KETCH AND

HE BECAME A GREAT COACH.

AND WENT TO STATE

CHAMPIONSHIPPINGS AND CHANGED

THE LIVES OF PLAYERS.

>> LET'S LOOK AT A CLIP OF DAN.

>> AS THE YEARS AND VICTORIES

ADDED UP SO DID THE LIFE

LESSONS, USUALLY DELIVERED IN

STORY FORM.

I HAD A YOUTH COACH AND WE HAD A

BASEBALL TEAM, WE WERE PRETTY

GOOD.

AND LONG STORY SHORT F WE WON

THIS GAME WE WITH TAKE A TRAIN

RIDE TO VIRGINIA TO PLAY.

AND NONE OF US HAD BEEN OUT OF

BROOKLYN, THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLE.

WE PLAYED ST. MARKS.

A SCHOOL, THESE MATURE ITALIAN

KIDS, WE LAST 24-3 AND WE WERE

LUCKY TO GET THE THREE.

THEY PUT IN A BUM PITCH ARE AT

THE END.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS.

WE ARE CRYING.

THIS IS ALL WE HAD.

WE DIDN'T GO HOME TO HOT TUBS

AND SWILLING POOLS.

AND HE LOOKS AT US AND SAID

FELLAS I'M PROUD OF YOU, IF THIS

IS THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT

YOU EVER HAVE, WILL BE LUCK YOU

MEN.

HIS SON BRIAN WAS ON THE TEAM.

AND WE WERE ABOUT WEFL THEN, 7

YEARS LATER I GET A PHONE CALL,

BRIAN GIBBONS KILLED IN VIETNAM

AT THE AGE OF 19.

AND I COULDN'T STOP THINKING OF

MR. GIBBONS.

IN THE EPISODE YOU INTERVIEW ONE

OF HIS PLAYERS, FORMER PLAYERS

WHO, WHAT QUOTE DOES HE REPEAT?

>> THE SAME THING.

IF THIS IS THE WORST THING YOUR

LIFE YOU ARE A LUCKY MAN.

YOU SEE THE IMPACT OF A COACH.

DAN IS THE SIMFUL OF ALL COACHES

AND TEACHERS WHO CHANGE LIVES.

AND HE HAS FOUR KIDS AND LAST

ONE TO DRUGS.

HE HAS BEEN MISSING FOR A COUPLE

OF YEARS.

HE CAN DO THE BEST HE CAN, BUT

WE ARE ALL TOUCHED BY TRAGEDY

AND IT IS TOUGH ON HIM BECAUSE

HE'S DONE SO MUCH TO CHANGE THE

LIVES OF OTHERS BUT IT DIDN'T

WORK OUT.

NOT BECAUSE HE'S NOT A GOOD DAD,

HE IS.

YOU USE THE PHRASE TAKING

PICTURES IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW

DOWN TIME.

LET'S WATCH ANOTHER CLIP THAT

HAS TO DO WITH TIME.

SOME PEOPLE MEASURE A PERSON'S

VALUE IN FINANCIAL TERMS.

TO THE NET WORTH.

OTHERS USE A FAR DIFFERENT

STANDARD.

>> HE PROBABLY HAS MOST TRUE

CHARACTER ANYONE WOULD IMAGINE.

THE CLOCK TICKS FOR ALL OF US,

WITH VARIABLE DEGREES OF

ALLOTTED TIME.

DAN INVESTED HIS SHARE OF TIME

IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

AND IT PAID OFF.

IN ANOTHER CONDITIONED OF

WEALTH.

>> MY MOTHER USED TO TELL ME,

YOU WANT TO BE RICH, COUNT YOUR

BLESSINGS AND I DO THAT.

>> YOU KNOW, TELLING STORIES,

FOR THE GOOD IN EVERYDAY PEOPLE,

HOW DO THIS COME TO BE YOUR

NICHE?

>> BECAUSE I GOT IN THE BUSINESS

SO LATE AND I HAD MANY BLUE

COLLAR JOBS AND HAD NO MONEY.

YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE FORGOTTEN

AND WHEN I GOT IN TV I GRAFFITI

STATED I DID SPORTS, AND

GRAVITATED TO THE PLAYER IT IS A

DIDN'T GET A LOT OF ATTENTION

AND I DEPARTMENTS DO THE

QUARTERBACK BECAUSE EVERYONE

ELSE DID THAT INTERVIEW.

I WOULD GO TO THE GUARD OR

SECOND STRINGER, AND I THINK THE

WHOLE WORLD IS MADE OF A LOT OF

PEOPLE WHO DO WORK AND DON'T GET

NOTICED FOR IT.

I HAD AN EMPATHY FOR IT BECAUSE

OF STRUGGLING TO MAKE A LIVING

MYSELF AND GETTING TO TV SO

LATE.

WITHOUT JOURNALISM OR ANYTHING.

AND ON THE "TODAY" SHOW, SOCIETY

MOVED ON AND THESE PHONY REALITY

SHOWS AND PEOPLE ARE FAMOUS FOR

NOTHING.

SEEMS LIKE WE FORGOT ABOUT THE

PEOPLE LIKE DANNY MACK.

IT IS NOT LIKE HERE'S THE GOOD

NEWS SHOW.

THOSE CAN BE SAPPY.

HAVE YOU THE SENTIMENT AND STUFF

LIKE THAT.

A LOT OF TERRIFIC STORIES AND I

KNEW FROM MY 32 YEARS ON NBC I

DID OVER A THOUSAND STORIES

ABOUT PEOPLE WHO WERE NEVER ON

TV BEFORE.

AND THEY WERE GREAT.

THE PEOPLE WERE GREAT.

AND I JUST THINK WE NEED IT.

I THINK IT MAKES US FEEL GOOD

WHEN WE SEE SOMEONE LIKE US WHO

IS ABLE TO BE, LIKE DANNY,

CHANGE LIVES, TINY HOUSE.

NOT A LOT OF MONEY.

BUT MADE BIG KRUBTTION.

>> MY UNDERSTANDING IS YOUR

CONCERN ABOUT THE IMPACT, YOU

ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE

POTENTIAL IMPAJT THAT YOUR STORY

CAN HAVE ON THE SUBJECT ONCE YOU

CLEAR TOWN.

TELL ME ABOUT THAT?

>> IT IS INTERESTING.

AS YOU KNOW IN OUR BUSINESS WE

CAN MAKE SOMEONE LOOK GOOD OR

BAD.

IF I GO TO A SMALL TOWN AND I

MAKE SOMEONE LOOK BAD THAT IS

NOT A GOOD THING BUT IT IS OKAY,

BECAUSE THE PERSON WILL RALLY

AROUND AND BLAME ME.

IF I MAKE HIM LOOK TOO GOOD, HIM

OR HER, LIKE A HERO, BETTER THAN

THEY ARE, I LEAVE TOWN, RIGHT,

AND THEY SAY WAS HE BRAGGING TO

REPORTER OR DOING ALL THIS.

SO HAVE YOU TO BE CAREFUL, I

LEAVE THE TOWN, THEY STAY.

AND DIA STORY IN A STATION, AND

I KNOW THAT IF I MADE HIM LOOK

TOO GOOD, HE WILL GET RIBBED ALL

THE TIME.

AND GET RESENTEDDED BY PEOPLE.

IT IS IN OUR CARE TO DO THE

RIGHT STORIES AND CARE FOR THE

PEOPLE WE DO THE STORIES ON.

WE LEAVE.

AND WHAT WE LEAVE IS HOPEFULLY

THE TRUTH.

>> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CONVEY

THROUGH THE SERIES?

>> THAT WE ARE IN IT TOGETHER.

THERE IS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT

INEQUITY AND THE REST BUT IN

BASIC THINGS AND ENJOYMENT AND

HAPPINESS, HAVING MEANING.

WE ALL CAN'T HAVE MEANING.

YOU KNOW, I CAN SAY TO THE BEING

BOY, YOU ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.

THAT MIGHT LIFT HIS SPIRIT AND

HE MIGHT GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT DOESN'T HURT.

AND I DON'T WANT TO COME ACROSS

AS I AM THE GOOD NEWS GUY ABOUT

A LOT OF STORIES THAT DESERVE TO

BE TOLD AND THAT'S WHAT I WILL

TRY TO DO.

MICHAEL LEONARD CONGRATULATIONS
