LOS
ANGELES, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For several
decades now, casting director Jacqui
Pitman, owner/CEO of Pitman Casting
Inc. and PartyPit Productions Inc., has played a
crucial role in the success of numerous long-standing TV shows.
With her creative insight, Pitman has contributed to over 500
shows, including iconic staples like "America's Most Wanted,"
"Price is Right," "Let's Make a Deal," "Face Off," and "Big Brother
2." Pitman served as the casting director for ABC's "The
Golden Bachelor" and is now casting for the highly
anticipated spinoff series, "The Golden Bachelorette."
Pitman's contributions to the world of dating shows and reality
television are extensive. Her career began in the late '80s with
classic courting shows like "Love Connection," Fox's "Studs," and
as the notable casting director of CBS's "Big Brother 2" which was
said to be the season that revitalized the series. In 2004, when
she was Senior Vice President of Development at Lighthearted
Entertainment, Pitman created and executive produced the MTV hit
dating show "NEXT" which was inspired by her own dating
life. She also developed and co-executive produced ABC's
hit show, "Extreme Makeover." In 2017, in partnership with Asylum
Entertainment, Pitman created, executive produced, and cast Bravo's
"To Rome for Love," a groundbreaking series following five single
African American women in Italy,
produced under her PartyPit Productions Inc. banner.
"My television career has been AMAZING! From casting to
developing, to executive producing and creating
my own shows, I have had the opportunity to interact with
some of the most fascinating people. Casting itself is like a big
puzzle where we find the pieces that we think will fit naturally.
But I must admit, dating shows are my thing! From "Love Connection" to MTV's "NEXT" to the
ultimate fantasy of living in one of the world's most romantic
places, Rome, Italy, while filming
"To Rome for Love," playing Cupid over the years has taught me so
much about men and women. It's clear pursuing love is a
never-ending quest, no matter how old we are. But who could ask for
a better day job than mine? It truly has been an unimaginable
experience," reveals Pitman.
Under PartyPit Productions Inc., Pitman specializes in all
facets of reality show production, from casting hosts and experts
to overseeing logistical aspects like background checks and casting
finals. Her expertise extends across various platforms, including
Fox, NBC, Discovery, OWN, Lifetime, WE and streaming services like
Amazon, Netflix, Snapchat and Hulu. She continues developing
original reality show concepts, with recent options at GSN, ABC,
and CBS Studios.
Born in New Jersey and raised
in foster care, Pitman's childhood experiences have shaped her
compassionate persona. She has long been involved in philanthropy,
organizing annual drives to support children in the foster care
system. Currently, she's launching "Marvin Cares for Kids," a
non-profit named after her late brother, aimed at helping foster
children transition into careers in the entertainment industry.
