    Assist With Scripts and Segment Preparation

    Draft segment introductions, interview questions, transitions, host notes, promotional copy and production summaries.

    Help organize scripts and supporting materials so the host, guests and production team are fully prepared.

    Support Production Days

    Confidentiality, communication and integrity are essential. Interns may have access to unreleased episodes, guest information, brand partnerships and internal production materials that must remain private.

    This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to build a real career in television, entertainment or media production—not someone simply looking to add another line to their résumé.
