[Janine Sherman-Nice to see you] [Jamie-Nice to see you to] [Janine Sherman-I'm executive producer for Criminal Minds] [Jamie-I know you're a trailblazer] [Janine Sherman-Thank you, I'm trying]
I'm trying to be one [Jamie- what do you love about what you do?]
[Janine Sherman- I love writing. I love writing dark twisted stories]
Being on criminal minds is an amazing, amazing show
and I was fortunate enough to be nominated for an episode I wrote with Kim Wayans for
Kim Wayans and Mackenzie Phillips called "The Pacted"
and it aired in the fall
You have written for some great shows
What did you do? What got you to this point? Because
Those shows have some of the best writing in the industry [Janine Sherman-I Literally got
Lucky because I got Um
Mentored by John Wells and
When I came out of the Warner Brothers program, I got on to Jamie Foxx and the PJs
A show called "Lush Life," but then I got onto
Third watch and it was John Wells, and he was one of the biggest producers
In the business. I got mentored by him and I was there for five years on Third
Watch and then I went to "ER" for the last four seasons and you know
Became one of the only African-American Executive Producers in the business
What do you do on those days when it's not going so good? What gives you hope? What keeps you going?
I mean what gives me hope is my Mom. I call my Mom and my Mom tells me to keep going.
It gives me hope because,
I want other people to come after me. I want there to be more people of color actually getting shows and getting stuff on the air.
Hopefully
You know well look up in ten years and they'll be a ton of shows, it'll be amazing.
[Jamie- You're awesome. It was a pleasure] [Janine Sherman-Thank you, you're awesome to thank you so much]
Blessings and favor over your life
Thank you so much for watching.
