Although HBO initially passed on The Night Of , Basch was instrumental in saving the show by screening the pilot for Netflix and FX executives, sparking a bidding war that ultimately led HBO to order the limited series. [1] He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series for The Night Of in 2017. He was nominated again for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2020 and 2022 for FX's What We Do in the Shadows. [6] [7]
