Adam Shapiro was fascinated with the entertainment industry way before he moved to Los Angeles  from New York in 1998. Adam has been a creative force since then serving as producer, writer, and director on all types of projects including NBC's America's Got Talent. He has brought his unique brand of humor and unique ideas to both scripted and unscripted projects on broadcast networks, cable and streamers.

Adam helped create the blueprint for NBC's hit series America’s Got Talent, serving as the Co-Executive Producer for hundreds of episodes. During his tenure on the show, AGT has consistently dominated the ratings, garnering over 36 billion online views and is recognized as the flagship show for the most successful reality format in the entire world.

Adam is prolific in any genre, manages big scale production teams at the highest level and is especially comfortable leading large edit teams on big projects.  He is a fun-loving, dedicated, hard worker who thrives in a high stress environment and is an expert in problem solving on a live, high-stress set. AGT is live every summer so he is extremely comfortable in a live show environment with hard deadlines. He has written and directed network spots with A-list talent like Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, Howie Mandel, Terry Crews (just to name a few) and started his career interviewing the biggest stars in cinema, music and television.   

He's been writing and producing projects for all of the major broadcast networks, contributing his talents to a variety of programming, including competition reality, talk shows, sketch comedy, documentaries, entertainment news, docu-dramas and also spearheads major brand partnership creatives as well. Additionally, he previously had a multi-year deal with Universal Television Alternative at NBC developing ideas and formats exclusively for the studio for a decade. With his extensive experience, he continues to write, direct and create new programming, unique formats and brand partnership campaigns and is open to collaborate on any project.  He’s also a diehard NY Giants, Yankee and LA Clipper fan in case anyone wants to grab a drink and go to a game!
