Dave Sirulnick
Dave Sirulnick is an American television producer.
Sirulnick was born on May 26, 1964, and grew up and graduated from high school in Teaneck, New Jersey,[1] and became involved with booking musicians such as LL Cool J, Run DMC, and Salt-N-Pepa at The Rink, a nearby Bergenfield, New Jersey roller rink. He later attended Rutgers University. After graduating, he was hired as a news producer at CNN, like his father who was also a tv producer [2]
In 1987, he joined MTV, claiming that they "wanted someone to grow their news department. It's what I wanted my whole life: TV, music and news".[3] He eventually became the executive vice president for Multiplatform Production, News and Music at MTV.[1] Sirulnick's responsibilities included oversight of MTV's signature show, Total Request Live.[4] Half of MTV's programming had been within his job functions.[5] He was the chief architect of the MTV Video Music Awards.[6] In March 2015, he and others were dismissed from their positions at MTV by Viacom, the parent corporation.[7]
As of January 2019, Sirulnick is a partner at RadicalMedia.[8]

gollark: What we can't use is a significant square of the world, the tomes already found, and the turtle swarm used, though most people already have their own swarms.

gollark: Via bibliocraft.
gollark: You can copy them.
