Greg Berlanti Talks About Power Of Belief & Honors His Late Mom While Accepting TV Academy’s 2024 Governors Award


Greg Berlanti talks about power of belief and honors his late mom while accepting TV Academy's 2024 Governors Award at the Emmys.

He spoke fondly of his mom who made business cards for him that said “Greg Berlanti, puppeteer” when he was young because he “wanted to be Jim Henson” at the time. “When I think about it, to have traveled that distance from that scared kid years ago to this stage with my husband in the audience and our two beautiful children, Caleb and Mia, watching at home, when I think about how much the world had to change to make the life I’m living now possible, even in hindsight, it’s unimaginable to me,” Berlanti said. That first gig launched a meteoric career rise for Berlanti who has produced or created/co-created more than 45 shows in the last two decades, including Arrow, Blindspot, The Flash, Supergirl, Everwood, You, Titans, Riverdale, All American, Found, The Flight Attendant and the upcoming Brilliant Minds, building DC universes on the CW and Max.
