The Hollywood Reporter has released their Reality TV Power List for 2011…and guess who’s on top? Ryan Seacrest. Which means Simon Cowell got dethroned! This news is not shocking to me at all…Ryan Seacrest runs reality TV these days. He has a million reality shows, he hosts Idol (among many other things), and has literally taken over.

Here’s part of the list:

1. Ryan Seacrest – Producer, founder of Ryan Seacrest Productions 
2. Mike Darnell – President of alternative entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Co.
3.  Jennifer Bresnan – Executive vp, alternative programming at CBS 
4. John Saade & Vicki Dummer – Senior vps alternative series, specials and late-night, ABC Entertainment
5. Nancy Dubuc – President and GM at Lifetime and History 
6. Simon Cowell – Founder and owner of Syco, executive producer of “America’s Got Talent”
7. Cecile Frot-Coutaz – CEO of FremantleMedia North America 
8. David Goldberg – Chairman of Endemol North America 
9. Paul Telegdy -Executive vp, alternative programming at NBC and Universal Media Studios
10. SallyAnn Salsano – Founder and president of 495 Productions

The rest of the list can be viewed here.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Boring. I was hoping for a list of hosts/contestants who make the most money or have the most influence…not business execs we have never heard of. Besides Ryan and Simon. Thanks for the news, though. Love me some Seacrest.

    When I assume the title of Global Terrorific Leader, I will have Ryan Seacrest and Andy Cohen thrown into a pit with a chainsaw, and we’ll see which Nancy boy makes it out alive.

    These are the kinds of entertainments that only I, the Global Terrorific Leader, can give you!
