Mark Burnett gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star because he “revolutionized television” + reality blurred
July 9th, 2009 | posted by cwalton |by Andy Dehnart
Mark Burnett will receive the 2,387th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today because, as The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce’s announcement says, he “has produced more than 1,100 hours of television programming which regularly airs in excess of 70 countries worldwide,” never mind that he has “revolutionized television.”
His ceremony will take place at 11:30 a.m. PT at 6664 Hollywood Boulevard, and Jeffrey Katzenberg will speak. Those who get a spot on the Walk of Fame have to be nominated and pay $25,000 for their star, and show up for the ceremony.
Although he has definitely “revolutionized television,” Burnett also has an ego that’s roughly equivalent to that of an entire season of Survivor cast members.
