The Carlos Watson Show

Conversations between host Carlos Watson as host and the guest take place entirely over Zoom, on account of the show launching during the COVID-19 pandemic.{{Cite web |last=Inman |first=DeMicia |date=2020-08-14 |title='The Carlos Watson Show' aims to change the talk show game |url=https://thegrio.com/2020/08/13/the-carlos-watson-show-interview/ |access-date=2025-03-03 |website=TheGrio |language=en-US}} It was taped in Mountain View, California.{{Cite web |last=Newswire |title=Ozy Media's The Carlos Watson Show Returns For Season Three This Monday, March 29 |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ozy-medias-the-carlos-watson-show-returns-for-season-three-this-monday-march-29-301256479.html |access-date=2025-03-03 |website=www.prnewswire.com |language=en}} The interviews are longer and more personal than typical talk show appearances, with a single guest discussing their journey to success and their take on current affairs over the course of a single 15-to-30-minute episode. The show weaves in archive footage and small tape packages about the episode's guests, acting as a deeper guest profile than the typical talk show appearance. Each episode typically ends with a "Rapid Fire" segment. The show has also broadcast two live specials: one on the evening of January 6, 2021 after the storming of the U.S. Capitol,{{Citation |title=LIVE Protesters Storm the Capitol: Town Hall Conversation ft.

Some exclusives The Carlos Watson Show reported on have been: learning H.E.R. used to be in a band with Kehlani and Zendaya,{{Cite magazine |last=Mamo |first=Heran |date=2021-05-17 |title=H.E.R.

They're both great. I just want for their happiness.

Watson said he was make a show that "meets the current moment with a strong enough combination of insightful conversation, flavorful and diverse guests, plus a bit of levity and entertainment.”{{Cite web |last=Boone |first=Keyaira |date=2020-11-04 |title='The Carlos Watson Show' Is Coming To OZY And iHeartRadio |url=https://www.essence.com/entertainment/the-carlos-watson-show-is-coming-to-ozy-and-iheartradio/ |access-date=2025-03-03 |website=Essence |language=en-US}}

The marketing campaign for The Carlos Watson Show included billboards and posters in Los Angeles New York with quotes with misleading attributions.{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Ben |date=2021-09-30 |title=Ozy Built a TV Show on a False Claim, Says Its Former Producer |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/30/business/media/ozy-media-carlos-watson.html |access-date=2025-03-03 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}{{Cite web |last=Lawler |first=Richard |date=2021-10-01 |title=Ozy Media shuts down just one week after most of us found out it exists |url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/1/22704636/ozy-media-disappears-carlos-watson-ben-smith |access-date=2025-03-03 |website=The Verge |language=en-US}} An executive producer said the marketing was aimed at potential investors and executives in television and advertising, rather than general viewers.

The show did book several sponsors including Chevrolet, JPMorgan Chase, and Discover. GroupM signed a two-year preferred partnership to further the agency’s DEI efforts. Dentsu made a three-year deal as part of its investment in “meaningful media.”{{Cite news |last=Merchant |first=Shaan |date=2024-12-12 |title=Carlos Watson Just Found His Prison Sentence.

The show has received over 50 million views, and the Carlos Watson Show YouTube channel has received over 70,000 subscribers as of March 2021.{{Cite web |title=The Carlos Watson Show - YouTube |url=https://www.youtube.com/ozy |access-date=2021-03-19 |website=www.youtube.com}} However, during the controversy, The New York Times spoke to an expert who said the numbers may have been artificially boosted.

Essence described the show as featuring "energetic and informative conversations with some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment, and politics".{{Cite web |title='The Carlos Watson Show' Is Coming To OZY And iHeartRadio |url=https://www.essence.com/entertainment/the-carlos-watson-show-is-coming-to-ozy-and-iheartradio/ |access-date=2021-03-19 |website=Essence |language=en-US}} People Now described the show as featuring "long-form, wide-ranging interviews with even wider-ranging celebrities".{{Cite web |title=Carlos Watson Reveals His Favorite Interview and Dream Guests for His Talk Show |url=https://people.com/tv/carlos-watson-reveals-his-favorite-interview-and-dream-guests-for-his-talk-show/ |access-date=2021-03-19 |website=PEOPLE.com |language=en}} Good Morning America announced the show as "the fastest-growing talk show in YouTube history," but the New York Times later called those claims dubious.{{Citation |last=America |first=Good Morning |title=Carlos Watson reveals his dream guest |url=https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/food/video/carlos-watson-reveals-dream-guest-72649464 |access-date=2021-03-19 |language=en}}

The New York Times’s media critic has noted multiple examples of misleading or unverifiable marketing associated with Ozy Media, such as advertisements claiming that The Carlos Watson Show was the “first talk show” on Amazon Prime Video, a claim that Ozy withdrew after Amazon complained that it violated its promotion guidelines.{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Ben |date=2021-09-27 |title=Goldman Sachs, Ozy Media and a $40 Million Conference Call Gone Wrong |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/26/business/media/ozy-media-goldman-sachs.html |access-date=2021-09-27 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}

{{ Main|Ozy Media#Allegations of fraud and closure}}

Mr. Watson and Ozy’s chief operating officer, Samir Rao, told the show's staff and the guests that the show would appear in prime time on A&E, but the executive producer became suspicious when they had no contact with A&E executives during the making of the show. One of the other producers pointed out that A&E had already scheduled Hoarders for the time slot that was supposedly meant for The Carlos Watson Show. Executive Producer Brad Bessey was willing to “suspend my disbelief,” partly because of the difficulties of running a show under the restrictions related to the pandemic and partly because he “was so hopeful for that social justice conversation.”

When Bessey got in touch with an A&E executive, he learned there was no plan to air the program on A&E, at which point Bessey resigned, saying “You are playing a dangerous game with the truth. The consequences of offering an A&E show to guests when we don’t have one to offer are catastrophic for Ozy and for me.” When Bessey told the staff he resigning, Watson told everyone on the call that The Carlos Watson Show would actually eventually air on A&E, and things were just in progress and until the time it would air on A&E Watson stated show would air as a YouTube Original. However, it was later revealed that Watson had not sold the show to YouTube Originals and instead would be uploading it as a normal YouTube video as anyone could do. Additionally, the show never aired on A&E.

"Some of the videos on The Carlos Watson Show YouTube channel have received fewer than 100 views, while others have hundreds of thousands or more than a million views. Those figures, and the small number of comments on most videos, 'may indicate paid boosting,' according to an analysis by Tubular Labs, a company that tracks audiences for online videos."

Watson was eventually tried for fraud as more information came to light. Among other things, there was proof that an Ozy executive had posed as a YouTube executive, telling potential funders that The Carlos Watson show had an order from YouTube Originals, when they did not have a deal with YouTube). This impersonation was used to get more funding from Goldman Sachs, among others, under false pretenses.

Season one of The Carlos Watson Show premiered on July 5, 2016, uploaded to YouTube.{{Cite web |title=The Carlos Watson Show Season 1 - Watch Online - TV Listings Guide |url=https://www.ontvtonight.com/tv-shows/the-carlos-watson-show/season-1/ |access-date=2025-03-04 |website=On TV Tonight |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=The Carlos Watson Show |url=https://www.youtube.com/@carlos/playlists |access-date=2025-03-04 |website=YouTube |language=en}}
