Greg Poehler, the younger brother of Amy Poehler, had an interest in improv growing up, but changed his mind after seeing his sister struggle to find work. He opted to become a lawyer instead, but now he’s had a change of heart, taking a story based on his real life and bringing it to television. His comedy Welcome to Sweden is on NBC this summer. The show is already a hit in Sweden. Then, Kim Masters talks to two former members of the MPAA ratings board who left that secret society to form their own company advising filmmakers on how to get the rating they want.
