In recognition of the extraordinary accomplishments of the Center’s namesakes, Dick Wolf and Marcy Carsey, the Carsey-Wolf Center is committed to examining television as an institution, industry, and cultural form. In our post-network, multi-channel, multi-media environment, understanding television demands understanding its past as well as its future, through exploration of individual episodes, mini-series, and documentaries.

Past events have included FX’s The Old Man with actors Jeff Bridges and Amy Brenneman; White House Plumbers with director/executive producer David Mandel; Our Flag Means Death with writer Eliza Jiménez Cossio; The Queen’s Gambit with writer/producer/director Scott Frank; Veep with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tony Hale, and David Mandel; and a recognition of the 30th anniversary of Cheers, which featured actor George Wendt and series creators Glen Charles, Les Charles, and James Burrows.
