Mark Burnett Biography

Mark Burnett, the CEO of One Three Media, is widely acknowledged as a foundational figure in shaping reality television. His work has not only captivated global audiences but has also set standards in the unscripted drama genre. Recognized by CBS chief Les Moonves in 2004 as the most important producer in television, Burnett's productions have consistently attracted both critical acclaim and audience loyalty.

Burnett's venture into television began with the creation of "Eco-Challenge," an adventure series that garnered two Emmy Awards. This success was followed by the groundbreaking series "Survivor," which premiered in 2000 and won two Primetime Emmys in its debut season. The series continues to be a staple in reality television, securing multiple Emmy nominations over its successive seasons. Following "Survivor," Burnett launched "The Apprentice" with Donald Trump on NBC, which became the top-rated new series of its season. His ability to capture diverse audiences extended with "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader," a game show now produced in 48 countries.

Beyond his known television projects, Burnett's personal journey from selling T-shirts on a California beach to becoming a celebrated producer forms an inspiring narrative of transformation and perseverance. His background as a former paratrooper and open-water certified SCUBA diver has influenced his dynamic approach to television production, enabling him to craft engaging and challenging content.

Burnett's recent productions include "Stars Earn Stripes," which premiered on NBC, showcasing celebrities undertaking military missions for charity. Other notable projects are NBC's "My Dad is Better Than Your Dad" and "Amne$ia," as well as the joint venture, Mark Burnett Productions Asia, aimed at adapting and creating content for the Asian market. His continued influence in the industry is reflected in his executive producing roles across various successful shows, including the syndicated "Martha," which was renewed for a fourth season, and "The Contender."

Recognized with the People's Choice Award for "Survivor" four consecutive years and having been inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame in 2007, Burnett's accolades underscore his impact. He has been lauded in Entertainment Weekly’s Top 101 Most Powerful People in Entertainment and TIME Magazine's Top 100 List of most influential people. A prolific author, Burnett has written four books and contributes significantly to industry discussions through his elected role on the Board of Directors of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in Los Angeles. His commitment to philanthropy is evident in his roles with the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation and Operation Smile.
