Since 1986, THE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT has helped entertainment industry professionals find comprehensive background information on thousands of conventional and unconventional
subjects for use in talk show segments, reality shows, news magazines, motion pictures and even books about motion pictures. We enjoy an excellent reputation for providing fast, confidential research support. In 1992, the Los Angeles Times quickly recognized THE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT as...
"...possibly Hollywood's highest-tech information gatherer [with] access to millions of news items and thousands of publications" and "one of Hollywood's...best kept secrets." ("Infoman," Los Angeles Times, 12/6/92)
Working closely and continuously with an industry always hungry for interesting, offbeat and exciting human interest stories, compelled us to launch The National Talk Show Guest Registry® in 1993, a special in-house
database heralded by the press as the first and "only known clearinghouse for people who want to be guests on TV." (Detroit News, 3/16/95). Profiled in hundreds of newspapers, on radio and television, The National Talk Show Guest Registry® (www.talkshowregistry.com) has received thousands of stories from across the United States, Canada and even some European countries.
"The Registry provides producers with folks who make good copy..." (All Talk Magazine, Oct./Nov. 1994)
If you are about to go into production on a discussion-based or reality show or have one running now, we either have the stories or guests you're looking for or we know where to find them. And if you need them
on a continual basis, just ask about our Weekly Story Search Service that will keep some of the very best stories and potential guests flowing your way week after week!
Whether you have a movie project, a reality show, courtroom drama or talk show and regardless of your
budget and deadline constraints- email or call us - we've built our success on handling complex research assignments quickly, confidentially and within any reasonable budget. We've done it for these fine shows and we can do it for you, too:
