In 2024, Karan Aujla’s hit track “Tauba Tauba” had everyone moving to its catchy rhymes and rhythmic beats.

Fast forward to today, Mark Horowitz, who was an executive producer on NCIS until last year and a co-executive producer on JAG, reflected on the early days of NCIS and the efforts made to distinguish it from the previous JAG series, which included pitching the concept to CBS as “Law & Order in the Navy”.
