AMC ANNOUNCES EXTENSIVE MULTI-YEAR DEAL WITH CHRIS HARDWICK

New York, NY - July 19, 2016 - AMC announced today an extensive multi-year deal with comedian Chris Hardwick, which will see him host and executive produce multiple programs for the network over the next three years. Hardwick will be a part of not only new shows, but will also continue as host of current and new "Talking" live after shows, including "Talking Dead," the #1 talk show on television among adults 18-49, "Talking Dead: Fear Edition," "Talking Saul" and "Talking Preacher." Hardwick is repped by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners. Brillstein Entertainment Partners will also serve as executive producers on all programming of which Hardwick is a part.

"There is simply nobody better than Chris Hardwick at doing what he does," said Joel Stillerman, President of Original Programming and Development for AMC and SundanceTV. "He's first and foremost a true fan, and his contagious enthusiasm for AMC content, along with his expertise of all things pop culture, his humor, and his engaging interview style have made him a post-show staple for AMC's viewers. We are thrilled to be able to expand our relationship with him in this way."

"When we started 'Talking Dead' in 2011 I had no idea it would become one of the most significant experiences of my life," said Hardwick. "As a fan, having this kind of front row seat to some of the biggest pillars of pop culture has been a dream come true. Thank you to AMC for allowing me to continue to show up for appointment TV therapy with the legions of other fans for the foreseeable future!"
