Episode description

With the latest buzz surrounding Jeffrey Katzenberg's newest venture WndrCo, raising a staggering $460 million, we thought...what better time than now to bring back an old fan favorite episode, Quibi?

Launched in April 2020 during a worldwide pandemic, Quibi was a new streaming service focused on premium short-form content. With Co-founders Jeffrey Katzenberg, former Chairman of Walt Disney Studios, and Meg Whitman, former CEO of HP, having almost $2 billion in funding, the support of major Hollywood studios, and tons of A-list celebrity clout. But even with all of that, Quibi was dead on arrival, folding just after just six months. Get the full scoop on this week's episode of The Great Fail.
