"You couldn’t have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances [at ‘60 Minutes’] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing.”

Trivia Question
What Broadway musical officially had Harold Prince, George Abbott, Jerome Robbins and Bob Fosse working on it? (Hint: it was a hit.)
UPDATE: Someone got the answer -- 1954's Tony winner, The Pajama Game.
Congratulations, it's The Pajama Game. It opened in 1954 and ran over 1000 performances, winning the Tony for Best Musical. Damn Yankees, done by almost the same team (sans Robbins) opened next year and did just as well.
There will be a revival of Pajama Game on Broadway next year.
You are burning hot close, but I'm sorry, Jerome Robbins did not work on Damn Yankees.
