It’s amazing how in 50yrs the industry has managed to maintain the “integrity” of the Emmy’s.
Hmmm. Does anybody else notice a lack of diversity in these photos?
This should be a fun post, can’t wait to read some of the backstories of this bunch, my first thought was Wow, they all look like me, it’s true. They cover all the power places in Hollywood, no wonder TV looks like it does.
Google Greg Meidel…a very interesting read, if I may say so myself…and, oh yes, I did say it….
Someone should have thrown a cream pie at Zucker and yelled, You’re Thursday night line up SUCKS!!
Th-Th-Th-Th-That’s All (white) Folks!
And we keep wondering why there are barely any people of color represented on television. These photos are basically 85% of all the major power brokers in television (some notables missing like Mark Itkin and Bruce Rosenblum).
Not one exec or agent with juice that doesn’t look like everyone else. Wait, my apologies I saw an Asian woman and one Indian guy.
The rep and exec ranks reflect the nominations.
Le sigh (c) Pepe Le Pew.
Les Moonves is missing with his hot, younger, second wife who is now starring on three CBS shows. That is one way to get ahead with this crowd if you are a member of a minority. Marry in. Then you at least have them by the balls.
It’s so great to see such diversity in the upper echelons of the Motion Picture Industry. Now, I know why there truly is no discrimination in our business.
Wow, that is a parade of whiteys (except for the 2 Asian women.)
Was Jeff Zucker aware he was posing for Nikki Finke’s blog?
the lack of ethnicity in these pictures is quite striking….blinding actually. A few Asians no blacks and maybe a few hispanics hidding in the group. Wow – quite a diverse group, this hollywood
Impressive. This page just disproved that Hollywood is DC for attractive people.
These photos make me want to leave the business.
Anne Sweeney’s kinda hot. She’s 22 years my senior, but I’d make a movie with her any day of the week.
Although, they couldn’t show it on the Disney Channel.
I wasn’t going to get personal.
But with all the hot babes in LA you know one thing is certain.
Love is truly blind.
And with all that money probably a good thing in LA.
Zucker looked good in the tux.
So TV content is really a reflection of the minds of these overpaid, elite white men in these pictures and the drama of their everyday lives…
Like when their Mercedes breaks down east of Sepulveda — Wait I think that was sold as a WB pilot on ABC. Or the pilot where all women over the age of forty are dead. I think CBS-P sold that to CBS.
And the show with no African American or Asian characters… that is practically every show on every network.
