Todd's Story
After WAHS it was off to Washington DC for 5 years at George Washington University. After graduation, I worked for The Washington Post for 6 years, and moved to Los Angeles in 1992 to work for Jay Leno and The Tonight Show.
I worked as a talent booker and segment producer (I interviewed the guests before the show and briefed Jay) for 5 years, before moving on to produce shows for Keenen Ivory Wayans, Magic Johnson and Craig Kilborn. I worked as Executive Producer for Craig Kilborn on CBS for 4 years, and joined the Fox network in 2006 as Senior Vice President of Late Night Programming.

as and then develop those shows for the network. I currently have one show on the air, "The Wanda Sykes Show," which airs Saturday nights at 11 p.m. on Fox.
My wife Elif is from Istanbul, Turkey. I met her while she was dancing as a background dancer on a show that I was producing. We have a son Julian who is 4 1/2, and a daughter named Leyla who is 2.
I still keep in touch with many Billtown friends - Steve Bloodgood is still one of my best buds, and Susan Durrwachter, my high school girlfriend, is still a good bud. I get to Williamsport about once or twice a year, usually to see my folks and go up to our cabin on the Loyalsock.
