Former “Tonight Show” clip producer
has been tapped to head North American operations for Paris-based
, effective March 1.
Kozak spent the last 10 years on the
-hosted show, which taped its final show on Feb. 6. The job required him to procure footage for the monologue and comedy segments, as well as the Before They Were Famous clips for the show’s guests.
Previously, Kozak was a producer for the American version of “Whose Line is it Anyway?,” as well as “Dick Clark’s Bloopers!” and Fox Sports’ “You Gotta See This!” He got his start 12 years ago by producing hidden camera video gags without dialogue.
“Steve is one most prolific producers in the clip show genre,” said Francois-Xavier Poirier, president of Novovision. “Steve joining Novovision will greatly strengthen our presence in this part of the world, and follows the creation of Novovision Canada last spring, headed by Nathalie Bourdon.”
