Founder/Chairman/CEO, Entertainment Studios

If you want to keep up with Allen, put on your running shoes. Entertainment Studios this year launched its newest cable network, Justice Central, and signed AT&T U-verse as the net’s first distributor. Allen also just closed a deal for BET Networks and Centric to air all 208 episodes of his two sitcoms “The First Family” and “Mr. Box Office,” and in a nod to big things to come, this spring he signed a long-term lease on 70K square feet of production space in Culver City. As distribution continues to expand for all seven Entertainment Studios networks, Allen is now even going international. We have no doubt he’ll conquer the world in no time.
