We lost a member of the family last night, one of our producers, Lisa De Cazotte. I first worked with Lisa when she produced the 2nd season of “Night Shift”. Years later and currently on @YandR_CBS. She was kind and smart. Our thoughts are with her family. 💛— Jason Thompson (@MyJasonThompson) December 8, 2019
