    Reinout Oerlemans has an amazing story! Starting out as a soap opera star in his native Netherlands, he would go on to host that country's versions of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars before founding his own production company Eyeworks. That company would grow to become one of the most valuable international forces in our business, eventually selling to Warner Brothers for 273 MILLION. In what is his first conversation with Reinout, Jimmy does his best not to act too intimidated.
