The career of five-time Emmy Award-winning producer Corin Nelson (Curly One Productions, Inc.) is a masterclass of unscripted and alternative content creation and production. Approaching her craft through the distinct lens of an Executive Producer, showrunner, and creator, she has produced more than 2,500 hours of content for broadcast, cable, streaming, and digital platforms.
Corin leads with creative vision and oversees content strategy from ideation to pilot development to first-run, multiseason, and spin-off projects. Her pilots, series, specials, and sales tapes span a wide variety of genres, including talk-variety, comedy, late-night strips, game shows, live broadcast events, tentpole specials, daytime syndication, and branded entertainment.
Known for telling stories that are at the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist, Corin recently showran and executive-produced "Face to Face with Becky G" for META (Facebook Watch) with each episode's premiere regularly pulling in 2 million viewers.
Through her production company, Curly One Productions, Corin also created, pitched, sold, and produced "Sexology," a daily lifestyle series featuring influencer and podcaster, Shan Boodram. As EP and showrunner, she delivered 260 episodes and positioned the series as the platform's #1 daily show. She also pitched and produced the NBC holiday special, "Holidays with The Houghs," starring siblings Derek and Julianne Hough. Earlier, Corin was the EP and showrunner of "The Drew Barrymore" talk-show pilot and sales tape for CBS, which immediately sold into syndication and is now headed into its third season. She was also the EP and showrunner of "Make Up or Break Up"-the first live, interactive series for Facebook Watch.
From 2014 to 2019, Corin produced several series for NBCUniversal. For Syfy, she created, developed, executive-produced, and showran both seasons of "Syfy Live From Comic-Con," the annual three-day, live franchise from Comic-Con San Diego, and served as EP and showrunner of the late-night, comedic game-show pilot and series, "Geeks Who Drink." For USA Network, Corin executive-produced and showran the "According To Chrisley" aftershow and the celebrity family game show, "Big Star Little Star." While there, she also created "Hacking Robot," the aftershow for USA Network's "Mr. Robot."
Earlier in her career, Corin helped E! expand its brand into late-night when she created, executive-produced, and showran the iconic late-night talk show, "Chelsea Lately." In a 2-year overall deal at MTV, she served as the EP and showrunner of "It's On With Alexa Chung" while also serving as a development executive for original programming.

The trajectory of Corin's career as a show and format creator began in New York City at VH1 where she created, sold, developed, and executive-produced several original productions while leading the production of the network's hit franchise, "VH1 Goes Inside."
