Today on the podcast – everyone’s favorite producer and all around human David Eilenberg. Dave is now Chief Creative Officer at ITV America where he’s guiding creative strategy, leveraging intellectual property, and helping grow the group’s six vertical production labels, including ITV Entertainment, Leftfield Pictures, Sirens Media, Thinkfactory Media, High Noon Entertainment and Good Caper Content. Dave cut his teeth in this industry working on game shows which led him to The Apprentice – where he learned how to produce a competition show when all of NYC is a set. He went to help create Are You Smarter than Fifth Grader which was put together at lightening speed from pitch to series. He also talks about the pressure to reboot Queer Eye, what it’s like being the head of a massive company, where this business is headed and why we should be working with producers all over the country.

David Eilenberg – CCO ITV America

SHARK TANK originated as a hit overseas, but it struggled to find an American home and languished for some time as a format in the Sony catalogue. Mark Burnett Productions eventually caught wind of the idea and partnered with Sony to eek out a six episode order for the show on ABC. After surviving a near cancellation prior to premiere and an abysmal first week of ratings, the show ultimately found its footing and fought for and earned a second season before finally cementing its place as an American TV mainstay. 10 seasons later, hundreds of episodes produced and millions of dollars invested, SHARK TANK is a rare show that both entertains AND changes lives. Originally sold by David Eilenberg (then of MBP and now CCO of ITV America) and purchased/overseen by Corie Henson (then of ABC and now an EVP at Fox) SHARK TANK kicked off a professional relationship between these 2 highly respected members of the TV community who are now producing their 3rd franchise together. I was thrilled to bring together these 2 talents for a wonderful conversation about how SHARK TANK was born and how their own overlapping professional relationship continues to thrive. Enjoy!
