Hard Work

By the end of 2003, Kaloustian was hired by a small production company in Los Angeles. He was discouraged when he was only given the tasks to run errands and get coffee for people, so he would help sound guys wrap cable and follow producers around, hoping to learn from them. After a while, Kaloustian was doing a lot more, becoming involved in the actual production of the shows. After hard work and long hours, Kaloustian landed himself a job with Reveille Productions. From there, he was able produce shows such as Blow Out , American Gladiators , and Shear Genius .

The Biggest Loser

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 8pm-10pm. [1] [2] [3] [4]
