Get to know the people behind the show.
A Hollywood storyteller, a field correspondent with mud on his boots, and the production house that puts it all on air.
The host
Steve Guttenberg
Before he was asking founders how jet engines get rebuilt, Steve Guttenberg spent four decades making audiences laugh and cry. The star of Police Academy, Three Men and a Baby, and Cocoon is also a published author, a producer, a director, and a recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
On Now We Know TV!, that lifetime of storytelling gets a new job: making complicated things feel human. Steve frames each episode's central question, welcomes viewers back with the answer, and treats every subject, from forestry certification to executive pay, with the same warmth he brings to a movie set.
Ask him and he will tell you the truth: the real stars are the companies, the people, and the ideas at the heart of every episode. He just gets to be curious for a living.
The field correspondent
Will Barnes
If a segment made you feel like you were standing on the shop floor, that was Will doing his job. He is the one in the orchards, engine shops, banking halls, and greenhouses, sitting down with the founders, farmers, machinists, and clinicians at the center of every story.
Will asks the questions viewers are thinking at home, then gets out of the way and lets the answer breathe. His interviews anchor the field reporting in every episode of Season 1, from the fruit groves of South Florida to the locomotive shops of Pennsylvania.
Between shoots you will find him wherever something is being built, grown, or fixed, usually asking whoever is closest how it works.
The production house
WBC Productions
Now We Know TV! is created and produced by WBC Productions, the team behind nationally broadcast programming and corporate documentary work. WBC handles every stage of the series: story development, field production, post, and broadcast delivery.
A WBC shoot day is a small, disciplined operation: cinema cameras, field audio, and producers who did their homework long before the crew arrived. The standard is simple. Every participant deserves footage they are proud of, and every viewer deserves a story that respects their intelligence.
