Producer of the Year: Matt Sharp Hones Reality Hits That Last

Sharp Entertainment founder and CEO Matt Sharp.

In 2023, Sharp Entertainment, a part of Sony Pictures Television, marked its 20th anniversary by producing episodes for an eye-popping 22 new and returning nonfiction shows for multiple television networks including TLC, MTV and Bravo — a noteworthy achievement in an otherwise turbulent and unpredictable business environment.

New York-based Sharp Entertainment, under the leadership of founder and CEO Matt Sharp, has found the right formula for memorable, genre-shaping reality content for more than two decades, with credits including TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé, Cooking Channel’s Man v. Food and WE tv’s Love After Lockup. Sharp’s ability to capture unique, true-life characters and stories originating from Middle America to remote destinations around the world for viewers puts him on solid footing within a shifting landscape.
