Known as the "fairy godmother of Nickelodeon," Gerry Laybourne took a channel for pre-schoolers and turned it into a cultural phenomenon. Hear how she led Nickelodeon into tween entertainment; why the channel truly spoke to its audience (it was the first one to take kids' side!), and the real story behind why Nickelodeon started sliming kids. Plus, we get into how Gerry transformed the Disney channel; launched her own network, Oxygen, with Oprah; and how her new project, CHKN ,is creating a new type of sandbox for kids.
