Cecile Frot-Coutaz, who ran the North American branch of London-based FremantleMedia, owner of "Idol," "X Factor," "...Got Talent," "The Price is Right," "Family Feud" and scads of other game, reality and "entertainment" formats (and scripted series, as well, including the long-running Aussie soap "Neighbours," "Baywatch" and the Thames Television library, ranging from "Rumpole of the Bailey" to Benny Hill to "The World at War"), is now the boss of the entire shooting match and will be based in London: http://www.thewrap.com/tv/article/cecile-frot-coutaz-new-ceo-american-idol-fremantlemedia-37140 Even if she's gone from the States, I still wouldn't trust FremantleMedia North America to do a good Americanization of "QI," one of their British properties.
