Eileen O’Neill

Title: Pres/GM, TLC
Age: Younger than my twin
Education: BA, Bowling Green
Social Media Quotient: 2

Why Her? After successfully launching Planet Green, O’Neill returned to TLC in mid-2008 to get the net back on track. Since then, she has more than fulfilled her mission.

These days, O’Neill keeps it real (literally) with plenty of reality fare on TLC. And all while managing the antics of Jon & Kate, or just Kate, or just Jon, or… we lost track actually.
