James Mark Burnett (born 17 July 1960)[3] is a British television producer who served as chairman of MGM Worldwide Television Group from 2018 to 2022.[4][2] He created the television shows The Apprentice, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? and Shark Tank, and served as a producer for the reality shows Survivor, The Voice, Beat Shazam, and Generation Gap.

Burnett joined MGM in 2013. After his promotion to chairman in 2018, the company expanded its cable television productions through the acquisitions of Evolution Media (Botched, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Orange County) and of Big Fish Entertainment (Live PD and Black Ink Crew). Burnett has co-created the Christian media series The Bible and A.D. The Bible Continues, and produced the feature films Son of God, Little Boy, Woodlawn, and Ben-Hur.

Burnett has won 10 Primetime Emmy Awards from 36 nominations, 1 Sports Emmy Award and 2 Daytime Emmy Awards for a total of 13 Emmy Awards.[5] His other accolades include five Producers Guild of America Awards, twelve Critics' Choice Television Awards, and ten People's Choice Awards.[6] From 2013 to 2017, Burnett was listed on Variety500, an index of the 500 most influential business leaders shaping the global media industry.[7] Variety recognized Burnett and his wife Roma Downey as "trailblazers". Both of them were also named among the "Most Influential People" by The Hollywood Reporter. In February 2016, Downey and Burnett gave the keynote address at the National Prayer Breakfast, and Burnett returned the following year to give remarks following his invitation from President and The Apprentice presenter Donald Trump.

Early life

[edit]

Burnett was born on 17 July 1960 in London, the only child of Archie and Jean Burnett, both Ford Motor factory workers,[8] and was raised in Dagenham, Essex. His father was a Roman Catholic Glaswegian and his mother was a Presbyterian; it is not known in which denomination he was raised.[9][10][11] At the age of 17, he enlisted in the British Army, and in the rank of corporal became a Section Commander in the Parachute Regiment.[12] From 1978 to 1982 he served with the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment in C Company and saw action during the Falklands War[8] and Northern Ireland. After his service, he initially planned to go to Central America and work as a "weapons and tactics adviser".[12]

Early career

[edit]

In October 1982, Burnett emigrated to the United States, where his friend Nick Hill, who had emigrated from the UK earlier, was working as a nanny and chauffeur. Hill knew of an open position for a live-in nanny with the Jaeger family in affluent Beverly Hills. Despite having no experience as a nanny, Burnett went on the interview. The Jaegers, realizing the advantage of having a nanny and security at the same time, hired him. After a year of working for the Jaegers, he moved on to another family in Malibu, California, taking care of two boys for $250 a week. He was eventually given a position in the insurance office owned by the boys' father. Two years later, Burnett rented a portion of a fence at Venice Beach in Los Angeles, and sold T-shirts for $18 each during weekends. Realizing he made more money selling T-shirts, he left his insurance job.[13]

In 1991, Burnett and four others joined a French adventure competition, the Raid Gauloises. Afterward, Burnett saw a business opportunity in holding similar competitions. He purchased the format rights and brought a similar competition, Eco-Challenge, to America. Eco-Challenge launched Burnett's career as a television producer.[8]

Productions

Burnett first produced the expedition race show Eco-Challenge in 1995.[14] This led to the hit reality show Survivor which premiered in the summer of 2000, and was the most watched summer series since Sonny & Cher.[15] Survivor was named the Number 1 reality series of all time by Entertainment Weekly in 2009.[16]

In 2004, NBC premiered The Apprentice, a reality television series in which contestants competed for a job under real estate magnate and later US President Donald Trump.

Burnett has produced several other television franchises including Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?, Shark Tank, The Voice, Beat Shazam, Coupled, and TKO: Total Knock Out. He has maintained a strong presence in award show franchises, having produced the MTV Movie Awards (2007–2011), the annual People's Choice Awards (2010–2017), the Spike Video Game Awards (2011 & 2012) and the 2011 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards.[17]

Burnett has produced more than 3,200 hours of television programming which regularly airs in more than 70 countries.[18] Past shows include Celebrity Apprentice (NBC), Bully Beatdown, Combat Missions, The Contender, The Contender Asia, Expedition Africa, Expedition Impossible, How'd You Get So Rich?, Martha Stewart, My Dad Is Better than Your Dad, On the Lot (a collaboration with Steven Spielberg), Pirate Master, The Restaurant, Rock Star, Sarah Palin's Alaska, Stars Earn Stripes, Starmaker, Toughest Cowboy and Wedding Day.

Burnett and his wife, actress Roma Downey, produced The Bible, a ten-hour History Channel drama based upon stories of the Bible.[19] The Bible became the No. 1 new series on cable TV in 2013[20] and was the No. 1 series in Canada, Spain and Portugal.[21] In total, with subsequent airings, The Bible was seen by more than 100 million viewers.[22]

After the success of The Bible, Burnett and Downey started developing more faith-based scripted series. A.D. The Bible Continues premiered on NBC on Easter Sunday 2015, and The Dovekeepers miniseries aired on CBS in 2015.

In September 2014, MGM acquired a 55 percent interest in One Three Media and LightWorkers Media. The two companies were consolidated into a new film and television company, United Artists Media Group, which was then acquired fully by MGM in 2015.

In December 2015, Burnett was named president of MGM Television and Digital Group, signing a five-year deal. Burnett's appointment was set up to occur simultaneously with the closing of MGM's acquisition of the remaining 45 percent of Hearst's, Burnett's and Roma Downey's interests in United Artists Media Group (UAMG), which would be absorbed under the MGM Television Group umbrella. MGM Television would now have numerous unscripted and scripted television shows airing on network and cable or in production, including: The Voice (NBC); Survivor (CBS); Shark Tank (ABC); Beyond the Tank (ABC); Celebrity Apprentice (NBC); Fargo (FX); Vikings (HISTORY); Teen Wolf (MTV); 500 Questions (ABC); The People's Choice Awards (CBS); LIGHT TV, Lucha Underground (El Rey Network) and America's Greatest Makers (INTEL/Turner).[23] In June 2018, MGM appointed Burnett as Chairman of MGM Worldwide Television.

As of 2024, Burnett is the executive producer of five network television shows: Generation Gap (ABC), Beat Shazam (FOX), Shark Tank (ABC), Survivor (CBS) and The Voice (NBC). Burnett is also the executive producer of the cable series Lucha Underground (The El Rey Network) and The Contender (EPIX). In 2017, Burnett had timeslot winning shows on six nights out of seven. Moreover, as Chairman of MGM Worldwide Television, he oversees scripted television shows including, Fargo (FX), The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu), Vikings and Vikings: Valhalla (Netflix).

Personal life

[edit]

Burnett's first wife was Kym Gold, but that marriage only lasted about a year.[24] Before that marriage ended he met Dianne J. Burnett (née Valentine) and they married in 1992; they have two sons together, James and Cameron.[25] In 2014, Cameron survived a neuroendocrine tumor at the age of 17, had brain surgery and had to learn to walk again.[26][27] Cameron was awarded the 2015 Courage Award at the Visionary Ball which raises money each year for UCLA's Department of Neurosurgery.[28][failed verification]

The couple filed for legal separation in September 2002, and a judgment for legal separation was granted in December 2003;[25][29] they divorced in 2006. In January 2004, Burnett began dating Roma Downey. In November 2006, while the two were vacationing with their children in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, he proposed to her.[30] They wed on 28 April 2007 in their Malibu home. The ceremony was officiated by Downey's former co-star, Della Reese.[31]
