Zig Zag VP commercial, current production Leila Monks said: "We are incredibly excited about this new partnership ? our production background and contacts paired with The National Enquirer?s access and library is going to make for some pretty explosive viewing."

Barry Levine added: "Connecting with Zig Zag at the recent Natpe convention in Miami Beach was like finding the proverbial ?Diamond in the Rough.? Their eclectic approach in factual entertainment program-making makes them the ideal fit to bring our show to life. And their success in distributing content worldwide will only enhance and expand The Enquirer?s celebrity/news brand!"
