From there, he was able produce shows such as Blow Out , American Gladiators , and Shear Genius .
In 2007, 3Ball Productions offered Kaloustian a job as senior producer of the already hit reality series, The Biggest Loser . Since then, the show has become even more popular and has an average fan base of 9.3 million viewers from 8 PM to 10 PM. [1] [2] [3] [4]
