Jeff Wachtel Quotations

One thing we've learned over the past three seasons is that there's an incredible pool of talented performers whose voices have yet to be heard.

Monk is the cornerstone of USA 's original programming. It remains one of the highest-rated series in basic cable history. We are so proud to bring it to the next level.

It isn't easy to create a drama infused with comedy, and Psych just knocks it out of the park.

We really wanted to book performers and guest judges from varying backgrounds. We even have a pro wrestler joining us this year. Big & Rich kicked off our premiere with unbridled energy and provided the contestants with a lot of great suggestions based on their own experiences in the industry. I think Nashville Star fans will find themselves more excited than ever as the season begins to unfold.

This year's finalists probably represent the highest level of overall talent we've ever seen on the show. With great voices and unique personalities, we have ten real contenders to be America's next NASHVILLE STAR.

Finding speakers this year was not harder and our budget had no impact on the selection, although it is more expensive to get two speakers. We thought it was too much to ask of one person to do two ceremonies.

We're thrilled about the potential EBAUM'S WORLD gives us to do something cutting-edge and original. We want to build and expand on the younger audience USA has tapped into thanks to MONDAY NIGHT RAW, and this project is a step in that direction. With its young male viewpoint, hip counter-culture feel and home-video sensibility, EBAUM'S WORLD promises to be the craziest late-night show in all of television.

It's a great show; it's always been a great marriage of Stephen King, an action show and a family drama, and I don't think there's anything else like it on TV.
