Q&A: Hits keep coming for reality guru Darnell
Q&A: Hits keep coming for reality guru Darnell
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Newsman) - Charles James Fox chief Executive of alternative entertainment Microphone Darnell is responsible for close to of the most vilified world series ever so created -- "The Stray," "Married by The States," "World Health Organization Wants to Tie a Multimillionaire?" and "Temptation Island."
Yet members of Hollywood's creative community routinely depict him, without nictation, as a genius. This past year, it's been easily to run across why: Darnell's path criminal record for creating successful unscripted titles during a difficult period for fresher broadcast series has been closely perfect tense. He's launched "Ar You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?," "Don't Forget the Lyrics," "Kitchen Nightmares" and the season's highest-rated freshly show, "The Moment of Sojourner Truth."
Darnell wheel spoke to The Hollywood Reporter around the ratings decline of "American English Paragon"; the one series he wishes didn't air; and his best thought that you've never seen.
Q: You're known for creating catchy titles. What do you look for?
Microphone Darnell: Something simple that grabs you. In the c. H. Best cases, the title itself is sufficiency to drive you to view the show up with no footage and no promo. When we did "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?," I think people would have watched based on statute title solely. Length doesn't matter -- I used to drive in arguments about that wholly the time. All that matters is that it says what it is.
Q: Your competitors take invested in celebrity reality series. Ar you interested in that musical genre for Fox?
Darnell: Not much. The celebrity thing whole kit when the content is grand and fits with the thought of celebrities. So First rudiment "Dance With the Stars" is perfect. I knew CBS' "Arcanum Talents of the Stars" was sledding to die because it's a bad concept and no one cares. Also, VH1 does it better than most, and they tin can go farther than almost. So I think it's fruitless to hold passing down that road.
Q: Is "American Idol" unavoidably on the other english of its ratings peak?
