The Eurovision Song Contest has been a global cultural institution since 1954, but until 2016 it had never been broadcast in the US. I was the sole writer on Viacom’s first live presentation of Eurovision, performing extensive research on all 42 entrants and providing host material to presenters Carson Kressley and Michelle Collins.

This was a wild project with a fast turnaround, but a unique thrill and the widest reach my work has ever had.
