I am Leo Pearlman, born in Sunderland, living in London. I am a partner at production company Fulwell 73, where we make content including “Carpool Karaoke” and “Cinderella.” I am a husband, a father, a son and a brother.

Pearlman was one of four longtime friends who joined forces in Britain as Fulwell 73 in 2005. The prolific banner that brought James Corden to CBS’ “The Late Late Show” and produces “The Kardashians” for Hulu merged in November with SpringHill Co., the production venture of LeBron James and Maverick Carter. Pearlman, who is based in London, was tapped to serve as co-CEO of the expanded company alongside Carter. That move, coupled with Fulwell 73’s busy roster of series and specials, has elevated Pearlman’s profile in the U.S., where Fulwell’s Ben Winston is well established as a go-to producer for big events including the Grammy Awards. Fulwell 73 also includes founding partners Gabe Turner and Ben Turner as well as Corden, who signed on as partner in 2017. Fulwell is poised to be involved in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles after Winston steered the production of the Paris-to-Los Angeles handoff at the close of this year’s Summer Games in August.
