Host Bio
Making It Big sounds like a knockoff of The Apprentice, but
it's a much more realistic, Canadian-made series about getting
a big career break. Each episode follows three qualified applicants
for a high-profile job as they pitch their skills to a top person
in the field. There is much less phony behaviour than you get
in other reality series and recently the New York Times
said it liked it.
-John Doyle, The Globe and Mail
Making It Big premiered in spring 2005
on Life Network (Canada) and Oxygen Media (U.S.). Now 13 new episodes
are in production for the second season. From music video directors
to fashion photographers, from pastry chefs to
songwriters, Making It Big takes you behind the scenes of the most
coveted professions and reveals what it takes to succeed.
In each episode of this original series, three up-and-comers from
across North America face the toughest challenge of their young
careers as they vie for a reward money can't buy - connections
with industry experts and mentoring by a high-profile leader in
their industry.
Mentors and experts featured in the first season include world-renowned
chef Daniel Boulud of Daniel's in New York City, Madonna's creative
director/choreographer Jamie King, Emmy Award-winner Dayna Devon,
host of entertainment newsmagazine Extra, Fashion Director of Saks
Fifth Avenue, Michael Fink, Senior VP of Dick Clark Productions,
Barry Adelman and North America's top dance/choreography agent
Tony Selznick.
"It was the best experience of my life. Making It Big
instilled the confidence in me to believe that I can and will

my first million dollar wedding."
-Nicki Harris, Wedding Planner episode winner
"Making It Big accelerated my career and opened doors
for me at a level I had only dreamed of."
