In a tale of life imitating art where no one is Nathan Lane or Matthew Broderick, NBC's Bob Greenblatt is one step closer to turning his tenure as entertainment chairman of the struggling network into a real-life version of The Producers. (It stands to reason that fluffy NBC president Jen Salke envisions herself as ulti-beard Sarah Jessica Parker, because, you know, shoes.)
In a speech delivered at Israel's Innovative TV conference, organized by Israeli mega-producers The Keshet Group, NBC's head-goatee Bob Greenblatt decided to shank his former NBC overlords, despite the fact that in his tenure at the trouble network, he hasn't delivered a single breakout new program.
Being the president of a floundering, working-its-way-out-of-fifth-place network is hard! So what's NBC President of Entertainment Jen Salke doing to help right the rapidly sinking scripted ship? Skiing, chatting with her old bosses, avoiding work, and embarrassing Sean Hayes, of course. Also: hunting ghosts.
