Tony Pinizzotto Promoted to Executive Director, Creative at Fremantle
Los Angeles, CA – Tony Pinizzotto has been promoted to Executive Director, Creative, after ten years at Fremantle celebrating and shaping the legacy of game shows.
Pinizzotto most recently served as Director of Creative Services for BUZZR-TV and Fremantle’s FAST initiatives, where he was part of the original team that helped launch BUZZR in 2015, the nation’s only classic game show network. Over the past ten years, his vision and leadership have shaped the creative voice of BUZZR and helped expand Fremantle’s presence in the evolving FAST channel space.
In addition to his work with BUZZR, Pinizzotto is credited with founding National Game Show Day, an annual celebration of the genre’s cultural impact. He also launched the Quiz Show Expo in 2024, a fan-forward event spotlighting the rich legacy and future of game shows through panels, screenings, and interactive experiences.
Outside of his work at Fremantle, Pinizzotto is currently writing a book titled Game Show Babylon: The Secret Scandalous World of TV Game Shows Revealed. The book explores the untold stories, controversies, and cultural forces behind the genre and is currently seeking a publisher, with plans for a public release next year.
“I’ve loved game shows for as long as I can remember, and I’m incredibly proud to be part of a company that respects the past, embraces the present, and invests in the future of this unique form of entertainment,” said Pinizzotto. “I’m excited to begin this next chapter and continue creating bold, fun, and meaningful work with the talented teams at Fremantle.”
Pinizzotto added, “I’m honored by the promotion and grateful to Fremantle for the continued trust. From BUZZR to Game Show Day, it’s been an amazing ride, and I’m excited to keep growing with the team.”
