Howard Lee President and General Manager, TLC and Discovery Life 20-year Discovery veteran Howard Lee is President and General Manager for TLC and Discovery Life. In this role, Lee oversees all aspects of the network’s programming, production, development, multiplatform, communications and marketing in the US. Since joining the TLC brand in 2008, Lee has served in increasingly senior creative positions, most recently as Executive Vice President, Development & Production for TLC and General Manager of Discovery Life. Overseeing TLC’s entire development and programming slate, Lee has played a vital role in strengthening the network’s female audience growth (+12% in primetime and total day in 2017), and pop culture buzz. Lee developed “90 Day Fiancé” and its spinoffs, and has launched tent-pole franchises such as “Cake Boss,” “Sister Wives,” “Long Island Medium,” “Four Weddings” and “My Big Fat Fabulous Life.” In the past year alone, Lee has overseen more than 500 hours of original series and programming, including ongoing audience favorites such as Emmy-nominated “Who Do You Think You Are?,” “Little People Big World,” “Long Lost Family,” “I am Jazz,” “My 600lb Life,” “Say Yes To The Dress” and its franchises, “Outdaughtered” and “Kate Plus Eight.” Lee and team also have spearheaded unprecedented live television, most notably developing the four-night live television event “This is Life Live,” which made TLC a top five primetime network for all four consecutive nights among women aged 25-54. Lee is currently overseeing the anticipated revival of the network’s nostalgia hit series “Trading Spaces” in April 2018. Previously, Lee served as Vice President of Development and Production for the 2007 launch of Planet Green, originating 200 hours of new programming. Prior to Planet Green, Lee was Vice President of Development for the Travel Channel. Lee received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts for Film and Television. .

Say Yes to the Text
Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 5, No.1/2, 2015, pp. 42-49. Say Yes to the Text Jennifer Burg In this essay, the author describes her experience as a participant in the reality television show Say Yes to the Dress. She delves into the production aspects of the show and her own feelings of identification with the production staff. She also considers the multiple audiences, both present and not present, in applying for, producing, and par- ticipating in a reality television show. Keywords: Audience, Autoethnography, Bridal Rituals, Femininity, Reality Television, Wedding Rituals Proposal For years when we were single, my best friend Jackie and I would come home from late nights out in NYC, climb into her bed with bowls of cereal, and watch TV until we fell asleep. Our fa- vorites were shows that aired on TLC, and of those we most loved Say Yes to the Dress. We took great pleasure in watching the brides-to-be try on, reject and select their dream dresses in the sparkly showroom of Kleinfeld, in the heart of Manhattan. We critiqued every ensemble, mar- veled at every price point, and added our own snarky commentary to that of the friends and fami- ly who came along to assist the soon-to-be-wed. We scrutinized everything from the tiaras to the toe clips and the whole lot in between. We had our favorite designers, and we knew the Kleinfeld consultants by name. Never did we think that we might actually have the experience that we so often watched: Jackie has two kids and is divorced; I was engaged once years ago, but that didn’t work out.

Taylor Muller Honors Thesis
CONTEMPORARY REPRESENTATIONS OF MARRIAGE IN LITERATURE AND POP CULTURE by Taylor Muller Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of English Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas May 2, 2014 ii CONTEMPORARY REPRESENTATIONS OF MARRIAGE IN LITERATURE AND POP CULTURE Project Approved: Supervising Professor: Ariane Balizet, Ph.D. Department of English Carrie Leverenz, Ph.D. Department of English Sharon Fairchild, Ph.D. Department of Modern Language Studies iii ABSTRACT This research examines the representations of marriage in the novels The Marriage Plot and Gone Girl, reality television shows including Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings, and The Bachelor, and social media websites such as Pinterest. The analysis focuses on how these contemporary representations demonstrate normative gender roles, and what claims they make about marriage today. Several patterns emerged when using in particular the theories of Judith Butler and Frances Dolan as a framework for understanding the portrayals of marriage. The depictions of marriage included individuals adopting some sort of role-performance, often gender specific, and reiterated the conflict for power in marriage between the two parties. These were magnified in the dramatization of real life, such as reality television shows, and frequently reiterated traditional understandings of marriage within a modern context. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION...............................................................................................................1
