Hot off a ratings surge this past January for the Golden Globes, the production team of Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner, of White Cherry Entertainment, will return to once again serve as executive producers and showrunners. Weiss and Kirshner also handled the Globes this past January.
The news comes as the Globes and CBS announced that submissions are now open for the 82nd Golden Globes, which are set to air live on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS. (The kudocast will also stream in the U.S. on Paramount+).
Deadline for film and TV submissions is Monday, Nov. 4; those entries can be found here. Nominations will be announced on Monday, Dec. 9.
Dick Clark Productions is behind the Golden Globe Awards, which this past January averaged 10 million viewers up nearly 50% from the previous year and scoring its largest audience since 2020. (The bump came despite rocky reviews for host Jo Koy.) According to the Globes, the telecast was the third-largest live-streamed CBS special event on Paramount+ ever.
Weiss and Kirshner founded White Cherry Entertainment in 1999 and have produced previous editions of the Primetime Emmys, the Super Bowl halftime show, the Tony Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors and presidential inaugurations (including President Biden’s in 2021). Weiss has won 14 Emmy Awards over the years (including the infamous time he proposed to his girlfriend on stage), while Kirshner has won 10 Emmys.
Weiss has also worked with Dick Clark Productions as director on productions including the Academy of Country Music Awards, “Dick Clark’s New Year Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” and the American Music Awards.
