Not only is Survivor: Island of the Idols’ Dan Spilo appearing on CBS, he is also the executive producer of NBC comedy Sunnyside, airing on Thursday nights.
This has been an eventful week for Dan Spilo. While a talent manager typically has a lot of dealings in Hollywood with actors, he’s had a fair share of both on-screen roles and power positions behind the scenes. He had a small cameoat the 2019 Emmys, then on Wednesday night, he got a bit too intimate with the Vokai tribe for everyone’s liking onSurvivor: Island of the Idols.
Having a client nominated for an Emmy and getting yourself on television is no small week, but a non-stop rollercoaster continued for Dan. He started the week on FOX, arrived mid-week on CBS, and the showSunnyside,a comedy to which he executive produces, premiered onNBC. The show stars Kal Penn as a disgraced former NYC councilman as he seeks redemption by helping an eclectic group of immigrants to become US citizens.
