In Conversation with Nigel Lythgoe

A true multi-hyphenate, Nigel Lythgoe is a director, producer, choreographer and dancer and has been a driving force behind some of the biggest series in unscripted television history. So You Think You Can Dance, which has aired on Fox since 2005, has won 11 Emmy awards thus far. American Idol, which ended its spectacular run after 15 seasons this year, has been nominated for nearly 70 Emmy awards to date.

At Realscreen West, Lythgoe will share some of the stories behind bringing two of the biggest juggernauts in unscripted television to life, and provide his perspective on where the industry is headed and what opportunities are arising for producers and creators in a multi-platform era.
