From the producers of Project Runway and Top Chef - America’s Next Producer was a reality competition that aired on the TV Guide Network in 2007. Ten aspiring producers had the chance to prove they have what it takes to create the next generation of TV hits. In each episode, contestants faced innovative challenges that put their creative skills to the test. Contestants competed each week to survive elimination rounds. The winner received $100,000 cash, a production office in Hollywood, and a first look deal with TV Guide Network.

Contestants:

• Bradley Gallo (The Problem Solver): 29, Long Island, NY — This self-proclaimed "problem solver that talks too much" is a freelance producer based out of New York City and thinks he has this competition in the bag. He holds a directing certificate from New York University.

• Daniel Hosea (The News): 33, New York City — Hosea's a news writer at WCBS-TV in New York hoping to make his own news as the next big thing in comedy or drama production. He also produced at NBC Weather Plus, NBC's Early Today, MSNBC and CNN's American Morning.

• Jessica Iaccarino (The Drama Queen): 32, Huntingon Station, NY — A true New Yorker and docu-reality fanatic, this professed drama queen wants to add her own drama to the list of TV hits. Iaccarino is a supervising producer at Speed TV.

• Lindsay Liles (The Surprise): 24, West Hollywood — Liles may be the youngest person in Style Network's production department for Clean House, but she hopes to prove the competition's naysayers wrong with her ambition and know how.

• Adam Mutterperl (The Control Freak): 32, New York City — A dabbler in comedic writing, directing and performing, Mutterperl's a self-described "control freak" who wants to show off his skills to the world. He dreams of producing his own TV comedy.

• Sharon Nash (The Veteran): 46, Alta Dena, CA — This seasoned television vet has 25 years under her belt and her own recipe for professional success: tough skin, ambition and an eye for talent. She's worked on national primetime shows to local TV news and aspires to not only be America's Next Producer but also America's Next Mogul.

• Steve "Schliz" Schleinitz (The Marine): 32, Los Angeles — A former United States Marine, Schleinitz served his country for four years and, later, the porn industry while producing the Girls Gone Wild series. Schleinitz calls himself a Hollywood ladies man who will win over the judges with his hot ideas.

• Evie Shapiro (The Competitor): 36, Los Angeles — As a Daily Show and HBO producer, Shapiro can lead a crew but doesn't always play well with others. She may just surprise everyone with her talent and leadership skills in this competition.

• Gwen Uszuko (The Newcomer): 22, Denver — Don't discount the youngest competitor in the bunch. This Notre Dame grad won TV Guide Network's online video contest last month with her personal bio submission and also works for FOX 31 in Denver.

• Alphonso "Zo" Wesson (The Entrepreneur): 46, Cincinnati — This high profile director and producer's resume is extensive, including Oprah and Gayle's Big Adventure and MTV's Making the Band reality series. Wesson has over 20 years of experience and serves as the owner, director and producer of Cincinnati-based ZoMotion Pictures.


• Gwen Uszuko was the winner.
