The Pragmatic Actress & NBCU's Playbook

Liz Jenkins describes herself as an overly pragmatic actress at heart, someone who grew up loving movies and TV but was also good at math. She found a career that let her do both. Now as CBO of NBCUniversal Entertainment, she is overseeing one of the biggest years in the company's history.

Franchise First. IP First.: At the heart of everything Liz oversees is one conviction. Give audiences the stories they love, and build everything around the franchises and IP they already trust. 📺

SNL at 51 and Still Number One: In its 51st season, SNL is the number one comedy in television in the demo. Liz grew up staying up late at slumber parties to watch it. Getting to attend the premiere taping of SNL UK in London was a full circle moment. 🎭

Five Star Weekend Is Coming: Jennifer Garner and four of her best friends in Nantucket. Liz calls it a classic white wine drama and a feast for the eyes. It is the next big thing on Peacock. 🥂

Love Island USA Is Shattering Records: Season 8 is breaking records on Peacock and the Casa Amor movie theater experience drew lines around the block. Liz calls it a lot of irons in the fire and that is an understatement. 🌹

An Overly Pragmatic Actress at Heart: Liz loved movies and TV and was also good at math. Finding a career that let her do both, she says, was the luckiest thing that ever happened to her. 🎬
