Summary
Alex Piper is the Executive Producer of Sports and Creator Content at YouTube and the man who hand-picked me to host an NFL pregame show in front of a global audience this past September. Before YouTube, he spent years at Fox Entertainment overseeing American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, MasterChef, Hell's Kitchen, and more. In this interview, he breaks down what makes a great audition, what separates talented people from good television, and what So You Think You Can Tout needs to get right to work.
