Paradigm is such a joke. What a waste of that building.
What happened to the true comedy execs.? Remember the good ole’ days? Larry Katz, Sam Haskell, Ike Augusta, Jane Drickson, Kimmy Dilla, I-57, Jamie Dedaris, The Country, Steven Moon? What happened?
Yea, well, that tier is now down to two, Nuciforo and Levine, but guys like Ian seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.
This guy rocks- a great comedy agent. He will kill.
Great score for Innovative!
Ian’s a great guy and Innovative is lucky to have him!
Ian’s a great guy, Innovative is very lucky to have him.
that could probably be the greatest comedy roster i have ever seen in the history of the world of comedy here on planet earth…wowza wowza WOWza!
Great guy? Doesn’t matter personality in this business. All about bottom line, and bottom line is who does he rep? Paulie Shore? David Alan Grier? These are reasons why Gersh has rose so ahead of Paradigm, and also why Innovative stays where it’s at. Great agents seek new talent, not has-beens!
Ian Aroughetti can sell ice to Eskimos!He’s going places…!
Jjlvh – although your post may represent mental illness of some type, it may also represent genius and one of the all-time great comments on a Deadline comment board. Kudos, my friend. Kudos.
Gersh has nothing on Paradigm. And IA is on the come up.
Great agent. Terrific guy. Nice move on both ends.
Stu Goldman is a real talent. He’ll do great.
Screw both of them. Verve is the next big thing!
Paradigm blows it again by letting Ian get away, their only comedy/PA agent in LA. Sam, take back your agency, the leadership committee is a ship of fools.
