Los Angeles July 23, 2005 ? This morning in a conversation with
Steve Banan, Ron Jeremy’s PR man, he alluded to the fact that early
negotiations are still on going with ABC Network for a Ron Jeremy
Reality Show. He said in a conversation he had with ABC executives
on Friday morning, they were interested in having several ABC
reality show producers take a look at the project just as soon as
they gets back in two weeks.
Steve said, he mentioned to ABC executives, their Saturday evening
primetime 9:00 or 10:00 slot definitely needs something. In his
opinion, a summer replacement, Ron Jeremy Reality Show in either
time slot would be the bomb. Viewers would tune in while they were
home getting ready to go out and party.
Steve Banan a thirty-year veteran of the PR game, known, as the man
that brought New York’s famed Plato’s Retreat to prominence, is not
sitting on his laurels. He told me starting on Monday he will be at
the Gower Studios in Hollywood discussing a Ron Jeremy Reality based
show with several producers that have already contacted him after
reading the ABC story from Xbiz The Industry Source. Steve told me,
there is no bidding war going on here, even though ABC has told us
not to say yes to any other producer before they had the first
opportunity. Steve Banan told me, we are just talking and not
signing with anyone at this time.
Steve Banan has kept Ron Jeremy apprized of every move he has made
since ABC Network contacted him. Ron Jeremy has stated many times,
there are none better then Steve Banan, when it comes to hands on
publicity and negotiations. Ron Jeremy has complete trust and
admiration for his good friend and business associate Steve Banan.
He has given him the green light to pursue all negotiations for a
Ron Jeremy Reality Base Show deal, pursuant to the finalization and
signing by Ron Jeremy himself. For information and photo
opportunities, please contact Steve Banan sbanan@thevine.net or 661-
