best, most inventive and most disruptive production companies to join
forces on the show,” said Rob Wade, President of Alternative
Entertainment and Specials, FOX Entertainment. “Don Mischer
Productions and Done+Dusted
both brought
incredible ideas to the table, and we are lucky enough to have the
two teams collaborate on this television event.”
Frank
Scherma, Television Academy Chairman and CEO, added, “Television
is in a period of unprecedented growth and
has emerged as the world’s premier entertainment choice
across a multitude of spectacular platforms. As a consequence, the
Emmy telecast has tremendous significance and should reflect the
innovation and inventiveness that television embodies. Don Mischer
Productions and Done+Dusted are
the resources to help fuel that transformation.”
“We
love producing the Emmys and celebrating the best television of the
year,” said Don Mischer, Charlie Haykel and Juliane Hare of Don
Mischer Productions. “We’ve known Done+Dusted’s
Hamish Hamilton and Ian Stewart
for many years and have admired their work for quite some time. So,
when our friends at FOX proposed this unconventional marriage, we
also thought what better way for us to have the opportunity to learn
and steal all of D+D’s masterful production secrets.”
“With
the total respect felt by all of us at Done+Dusted
for all the great people at Don
Mischer Productions, this felt like the perfect opportunity
to put partisan production aside and work together
to see if we can find ways to develop a new-look Emmys on new-look
FOX,” said Done+Dusted
President Ian Stewart. “Not
to mention it gives us a chance to learn and steal all of Don and
the team’s masterful production
secrets.”
