The fact is that daytime television is less valued than nighttime, and it’s partly because of the product that we produce. We do a one-hour show in 12 hours. Nighttime produces a one-hour show in seven to nine days.

Meaning of the quote

Daytime TV shows are not as respected as nighttime TV shows because they are made more quickly. Daytime shows are filmed in just 12 hours, while nighttime shows take 7 to 9 days to make. This means nighttime shows have more time to be carefully produced, which makes them seem more valuable.
