Kahane Cooperman, the showrunner of "The New Yorker Presents,” discusses her eclectic jobs from working at Maysles Films to becoming co-executive producer of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" to directing her new documentary “Joe’s Violin” that premiered at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival.“I essentially went on my first job interviews in almost 19 years. I had to go through four levels of interviewing - starting with Alex Gibney and finally ending with David Remnick at The New Yorker. Everyone was like, ‘Are you nervous about these interviews?’ I’m like, ’No, I’m really not nervous about the interviews. I’m nervous I’m going to get this job!”
