Greg Mantell
TV Show Host

Gregory Mantell is host and producer of "The Gregory Mantell Show," a popular cable TV and internet talk show.

Televised in New York and LA, the show has built a worldwide audience on Youtube, and has received more than 600,000 views on Youtube / Google Video alone (not counting other internet video sites).

That's especially impressive when you consider that the show airs full-length episodes of often serious topics online, not just the short, funny clips that usually get wide viewing on the internet.

Viewers on Youtube have given Greg higher quality ratings per episode on average than Oprah. Having taped more than 225 episodes, Greg regularly receives rave reviews for his relaxed, conversational interviews from industry professionals and viewers alike.

Perhaps publicist Carol Eisner, whose clients have been on all the major national talk shows, said it best:

This show was awesome! (You) made it happen with your expert and subtle guidance as the guests reacted to you and each other. That was brilliant. The way you put these people together. I was laughing mao because you made these guests mingle and laugh with each other, too about one of the most important topics in the universe. Why doesn't Larry King and the others do this kind of thing? You are way ahead of the pack. Media is boring. You are not, and your shows are not.

"I'm greatly impressed! Greg really does his homework, and he has fun with his guests. Going places! This man is going places!"
- Kelly Lange, former anchor, NBC News
