NBC allows me the freedom to be creative and to think differently and I hope we can bring a fresh look to the current crop of television dramas. This series will be shot in an exotic, remote island location, similar to a feature film, which will make it a powerful television event. (Mark Burnett)
I do believe there's a big opportunity there. As Jon Stewart proved, if presented in the right way ... young people are interested in news. All it takes is a unique idea. (Mark Burnett)
I met with Martha and Sharon to see if there are any opportunities in syndication. My vision says her customers and fans are still loyal to her. I don't think the Martha Stewart brand loyalty has changed. (Mark Burnett)
Donald has so many recent West Coast projects that it made perfect sense to change locations and along with it change the flavor of the weekly tasks. Seeing Donald operate in Southern California will provide yet more insight into his remarkable world. (Mark Burnett)
There is no bigger promotional platform than the Olympics. I'm honored that NBC is utilizing one of its most cherished and powerful assets to help drive buzz for The Apprentice brand. This promotion marks the first time I've ever invited the public to select a cast member for one of my shows. (Mark Burnett)
My favorite part of this morning's double-dip press conference at Martha Stewart's new TV studio -- she was promoting both her daytime syndicated show and The Apprentice Martha Stewart ... What's that word you use, Mark -- fun (Mark Burnett)
Burnett also had no idea that Hatch, a corporate trainer and an openly gay man, would win the competition. At the time, he thought Hatch would be voted off the island in the first round, but now says Richard played the best game. I should think in retrospect Richard wasn't a liar, ... He never actually openly lied to people. He always said he was playing the game to win, and never pretended to be friends with someone he wasn't. He's a very clever guy. (Mark Burnett)
Branded entertainment has become such a growth industry, it makes sense for us to be in business with Madison Road, (Mark Burnett)
I hope we get a cop from New York, and maybe a small petty criminal from some other city ... they won't get along. (Mark Burnett)
And what will her version of You're fired ... there is a wonderful commonality at the end of every show, which Martha came up with. (Mark Burnett)
When I first said 'The tribe has spoken,' ( Survivor host) Jeff Probst looked at me like I had three heads. The truth is it became silly to me, trying to think what I would say. (Mark Burnett)
Rock stars are colorful personalities and charismatic performers who make great reality TV characters, (Mark Burnett)
There's a wonderful commonality to the end of every show that Martha came up with. (Mark Burnett)
It is an honor that our show's continued ratings success has become part of television history, ... 'Survivor' has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience for me and for my production crew, and that has remained unchanged since our beginnings. I look forward to continuing as part of the CBS family, and in keeping our loyal Thursday night audience entertained and enthralled for many more years to come. (Mark Burnett)
This is the biggest volume of eyeballs ever available in history. More people are on computers every day than sit down and watch TV at night. The Internet is about to become the next broadcast network. (Mark Burnett)
