Amazon announced Monday that reality television producer Mark Burnett, who served as MGM’s television president for eight years, was leaving the company amid Amazon’s efforts to integrate MGM into its own studio operations.
Burnett, a Brit who got his start in Los Angeles more than 25 years ago hawking TV shirts on the Venice Beach boardwalk, scored with his first major show, “Survivor,” launched on CBS. But his career achieved even greater heights after “The Apprentice” debuted on NBC in 2004. Ratings soared, and Trump became a nationwide sensation with his signature line: “You’re fired.”
In 2015, MGM took full control of United Artists Media Group, which was a joint venture between MGM, Burnett, his wife, Roma Downey, and the Hearst company for $234 million. Burnett and Downey received $120 million for their 23% stake.Amazon closes $8.5-billion purchase of MGM, giving it broader sway in Hollywood
