Studio Lambert Format Scores Lifetime Deal

LOS ANGELES: Lifetime Television is gearing up to roll out its own version of Studio Lambert’s The Fairy Jobmother next month, following host Hayley Taylor as she helps the unemployed get back to work.

Lifetime will sneak peek the first of eight one-hour episodes at 11 p.m. on October 28, immediately following the Project Runway season eight finale. It will air regularly at 9 p.m. Thursdays beginning November 4. In the U.K., the format first launched on Channel 4.

“This innovative series will help American families in need of assistance by motivating them to get back on track in an entertaining, constructive and effective way,” said Nancy Dubuc, president and general manager of Lifetime Networks and HISTORY. “The Fairy Jobmother uniquely complements Lifetime’s unscripted strategy and will further strengthen our success among women Thursday evenings.”

Stephen Lambert and Eli Holzman serve as executive producers of The Fairy Jobmother.
