Bringing educational television back.

Now We Know TV! exists for one kind of viewer: the person who sees a product, a building, or a headline and wonders how it all actually works.

Our mission

Real companies. Real people. Real insights.

There was a time when television taught. Shows took you inside factories, farms, and laboratories, and you came away knowing something. Now We Know TV! picks that tradition back up with modern production craft.

Every episode connects curious audiences with the people who make, build, and discover. A seasoned crew pairs broadcast-grade filmmaking with real industry expertise, so viewers leave knowing something they didn't, and featured companies leave with a story worth telling for years.

The faces of the show

Meet the hosts

A Hollywood storyteller in the studio and a curious correspondent in the field. Between them, no question goes unasked.

Host

Steve Guttenberg

The lovable, larger-than-life star of Police Academy, Three Men and a Baby, and Cocoon. A published author, producer, and director, and a recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

On Now We Know TV!, Steve is your guide. He frames every episode's question, welcomes you back with the answer, and reminds you why curiosity is worth a Saturday morning. But he would be the first to say the real stars are the companies, the people, and the ideas at the heart of every episode.

Field correspondent

Will Barnes

Will is the one in the field with the mud on his boots. From fruit groves in South Florida to locomotive shops in Pennsylvania, he sits down with founders, farmers, machinists, and clinicians to ask the questions viewers are thinking at home.

His interviews anchor the field segments of every episode. If a segment made you feel like you were standing on the shop floor, that was Will and the crew doing their job.

The magic behind the show

Broadcast craft, documentary heart.

A Now We Know TV! shoot day is a small, disciplined operation: cinema cameras, field audio, and producers who have done their homework long before the crew arrives. We film where the work happens, in greenhouses, engine shops, banking halls, and forests, because that is where the truth of a story lives.

Our production standard is simple: every participant deserves footage they are proud of, and every viewer deserves a story that respects their intelligence.
