Early life [ edit ]
Weiss was raised in a Jewish family.[1] He graduated from the University of Maryland in 1983.[2]
Weiss started his career working at the Washington, D.C. , bureau of CNN while still a full-time University of Maryland student before becoming a producer and director at Fox affiliate WTTG . His first national credit was America's Most Wanted , followed by other shows including Studs , Legends of the Hidden Temple , Gladiators 2000 , and talk shows hosted by Jane Pratt and Tempestt Bledsoe in the years since.
As of 2018, Weiss has won 14 Emmy Awards ,[3] and, as of 2015, five Directors Guild of America Awards for Outstanding Directorial Achievement,[4] and has been nominated for Producers Guild of America Awards.[2]
Weiss has also directed numerous televised events, including the Tony Awards , Academy Awards ,[5] for which he has garnered three directing Primetime Emmys and has directed and produced Primetime Emmy Awards .[6] Other directing credits include the Kennedy Center Honors , CableACE Awards , Billboard Music Awards , BET Awards , Peter Pan Live! , The SpongeBob Musical: Live On Stage! , Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards , Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve , Primetime Emmy Awards , Live from Lincoln Center , and the American Music Awards . He also directed the 2020 DNC .
Weiss was the director of the 94th Academy Awards .[7] According to executive Rob Mills in a Variety article referring to the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident, “One quick shout out I want to give is to the director Glenn Weiss. I was in the truck with him in our control room on New Year’s Eve when Mariah Carey was having some vocal issues singing. I was with him when they did the wrong envelope on ‘La La Land’ and I was with him last night. And there is nobody who keeps a cooler head and just keeps the show moving along. While obviously, knowing exactly what's happening. He really is the best in these situations.”.[8]
Personal life [ edit ]
During the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 18th, 2018, Weiss made headlines by proposing to long-time girlfriend Jan Svendsen during his acceptance speech for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special for his work on that year's Academy Awards . He proposed by saying,『You wonder why I don’t like to call you my girlfriend? Because I want to call you my wife.』The ring previously belonged to his mother, who had died two and a half weeks prior. The moment was widely shared on social media platforms Twitter and Instagram .[9] [10] They got married on 14 February 2023, with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi officiating.[11]
