Exec/Producer With Noah Pollack

Damla Dogan walked into the halls of E! over a decade ago and her VERY FIRST PROJECT was KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS!!! The channel quickly ordered a show about this little known family, but with one caveat, it had to be produced and on the air in only 8 weeks. Enter Farnaz Farjam, showrunner extradorinare, who returned from her honeymoon to launch the series and to this day, hundreds of episodes later, hasn't stopped hustling. 

I've worked with both of these incredible women multiple times in my career and brought them together for a conversation about their culture shifting ride with the most famous family in all of tv. Enjoy!

Lisa Vanderpump burst onto the scene as a breakout star on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS, but as a mega successful restranteur, she wanted more. One of her HOUSEWIFE producers, Alex Baskin, emailed a screen grab to Bravo from the website of one of Lisa's restaurants, Sur, and what was an immediate "yes" turned into a nearly year long adventure until officially being greenlit. The rest is television history and with over 100 episode produced, VANDERPUMP RULES shows no signs of abating. 

I was fortunate enough to sit down with my childhood friend, Alex, and the one and only Lisa at her stunning home for a conversation about VANDERPUMP RULES. It's not only one of TV's greatest guilty pleasures, but it's also a shining example of how entertainment and business can intersect in some pretty incredible ways. Enjoy!
