George Verschoor (born 1960) is a showrunner, director and a creator of television shows, known primarily for producing unscripted and reality series for television, such as The Real World, on which he retains a creative consultant credit. He is considered one of the pioneers of non-fiction programming.
Verschoor developed, produced and directed the first four seasons of MTV's groundbreaking series The Real World, which launched the modern non-fiction genre and is one of the longest-running reality programs in history. As an Emmy-nominated showrunner, he executive produced and directed MTV's Fear, created and ran the hybrid mystery series Murder in Small Town X for FOX, and was creator and showrunner for the live music competition series Nashville Star, which went for six season and launched the career of country music star Miranda Lambert.
As part of an overall development and production deal with National Geographic Channel, Verschoor executive produced the hit investigative series Border Wars, and created and executive produced the documentary adventure series Die Trying, and their off-the-grid build series Building Wild.
Most recently, Verschoor has been helming the building competition series Home Free (2015 TV series) starring noted contractor and TV host Mike Holmes. The series premiered on the Fox network on July 22, 2015 and he is noted for coming up with Holmes' patented catchphrase "This is gonna be good!" [1]
