Don Ohlmeyer

Don Ohlmeyer (born circa 1945) is an American television producer and former president of NBC. He began his work as the producer of Monday Night Football.

During the 1997 World Series, Ohlmeyer disturbed Major League Baseball when he publically wished the World Series to end in a four game sweep so that it wouldn't derail NBC's fall entertainment schedule.

In 1998, "Weekend Update" host Norm MacDonald was fired from Saturday Night Live by Ohlmeyer, who said that MacDonald was simply "not funny". Some have speculated that MacDonald was fired because of his frequent jokes on the show about O. J. Simpson, who happens to be a good friend of Ohlmeyer's.

Currently, Don Ohlmeyer is a Professor of Television Communications at prestigious Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. He helped found the radio program "Making Waves", hosted by Steven Dhillon and Justin Reininga.
