Madison Avenue was once a place that many Americans were familiar with because it was synonymous with the major ad agencies that dramatically influenced the culture. And the critically-acclaimed AMC program "Mad Men" helped revive that era for younger generations.

To talk about all of that, The Show was joined by best-selling author and journalist Ken Auletta. His new book is called " Frenemies: The Epic Disruption of the Ad Business (and Everything Else)."
