2 hours ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
It looks like American Idol‘s summer makeover is only the first step in a larger shakeup of Fox‘s reality-programming lineup. Longtime reality chief Mike Darnell is stepping down after 18 years on the job, the network announced today.
“I’m extremely grateful that Fox has offered me a new long term contract (and anyone who knows me won’t believe I’m saying this), but I’ve decided it’s time for a change,” said Darnell, in a release. “With my current deal ending in June, and having been here for 18 years (kind of a record in Hollywood), I »

Mike Darnell to Exit Fox, Ending Era for Colorful Exec
2 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
An era has ended at Fox with Friday’s news that Mike Darnell is stepping down after 18 years as a top programming exec at the network.
Darnell confirmed he would step down from his post as prexy of alternative entertainment at Fox when his contract is up next month. Darnell and Fox positioned the departure as his decision, but his departure comes on the heels of “American Idol” falling to record lows and a mixed track record for the network in unscripted programming of late. On Thursday, Fox’s most recent competition reality skein, “Does Someone Have to Go?,” bowed to a weak 1.3 rating/4 share in the adults 18-49 demographic in the 9 p.m. slot behind “Hell’s Kitchen.”
Nonetheless, Darnell has been a pillar of the network for nearly 20 yeas, and his departure promoted a comment from the big boss, News Corp. chairman-ceo Rupert Murdoch.

Fox President Of Alternative Programming Mike Darnell To Depart
2 hours ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Exclusive: The reality TV landscape will never be the same. After 18 years at Fox, the dean of unscripted TV executives, Fox’s President of Alternative Programming Mike Darnell, is stepping down. He will stay on through the end of June, when his current contract is up, and help with the transition. Darnell was offered a new long-term deal at the network but, after long deliberation, decided it was time to move on. Darnell faced similar agonizing soul-searching five years ago when he was offered rich producing deals elsewhere but ultimately opted to stay at Fox, where he’s had free rein on the unscripted side. This time around, he decided to leave the network, which he helped build, first with noise-making reality specials like World’s Scariest Police Chases and When Animals Attack! and then with such tentpole series as American Idol and Family Guy.

Seth MacFarlane will not return as Oscars 2014 host
20 May 2013 3:03 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Seth MacFarlane has confirmed that he will not return as Oscars host for 2014.
The Family Guy creator fronted the 85th Annual Academy Awards earlier this year, and has been rumoured for a return.
However, he tweeted today (May 20) that he does not have time for a second run.
"Traumatized critics exhale: I'm unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep," he wrote.
MacFarlane added that whoever lands the hosting gig will inherit a great role, before naming his preferred choice.
"However, I highly recommend the job, as [Craig] Zadan and [Neil] Meron are two of the most talented producers in the business. My suggestion for host is Joaquin Phoenix," he joked.
It was recently reported that MacFarlane had been asked back to be host of the 2014 event by Academy Awards organisers.
Justin Timberlake has also been rumoured to be in the running to host the next ceremony. »
