Editor’s note: This is the latest installment in the Deadline series Hollywood Contraction, which examines the toll the job losses caused by the ongoing industrywide cost-cutting has had on different sections of the entertainment community.
Matthew Hobin, a producer who has worked on series including Kitchen Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen, was driving for Uber Eats during the pandemic when he found out his Netflix food series Fresh, Fried and Crispy got four Daytime Emmy nominations including a best director nod for himself.
Hobin, who runs OU812 Productions and was a co-exec producer on truTV’s Storage Hunters and exec producer on Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods, told Deadline that he pulled over, celebrated for 30 seconds, and went back to delivering food.
His story is symbolic of a broader problem in the unscripted industry, which is impacting significant numbers of people.

Paul McCartney has many pre-show rituals he does before performing at his concerts. The former Beatle has been touring for over 60 years, so he knows what to do to prepare himself. One of his habits includes watching TV to relax, and Paul McCartney says he loves to watch this American game show.
Paul McCartney loves to watch ‘Family Feud’ before starting his concerts
Paul McCartney isn’t too much of a TV connoisseur. He’s often too busy with his music or other projects that occupy his time. He also loves exploring nature and lounging around his farm. However, a few shows still occupy his time, especially if he’s channel surfing.
In an interview with The Adam Buxton Podcast, McCartney said he appreciates shows like Storage Hunters and American Pickers but also enjoys comedy.

Peep Show, now airing its final series, is packed with precise, very funny writing that reflects unflattering truths about us all…
There’s a speech in Peep Show’s series nine opener that sums up the show’s comedic focus: the gap between the face we present to the world and our inner feelings. Talking to Mark, Jeremy confronts his friend’s essential hypocrisy. “I know you, Mark,” he says, “I know you like to pretend that you’re this stuffed shirt who reads incredibly boring books about dead people killing each other with bayonets and typhoid, but I know the truth.”
That truth, gleaned from years of friendship weaponised for this coup, is that Mark Corrigan isn’t, as he pretends to be, a rarefied type fascinated by nineteenth century arts movements, but instead “a pathetic human who likes Twirls and Downton and Bond and burgers.

Confession time. Between working a full time job and keeping Nerdly going, I don’t have a lot of downtime. Working all day and well into the night also means I also often struggle to unwind at bedtime. But a few years ago I found a solution for that, YouTube. Whereas a lot of people will read a book in bed for going to sleep, I watch videos. In particular the myriad of retro gamers on YouTube making videos about their collections, their game hunts and their general all-round love for old-school gaming. I’ve even made some videos of that nature myself.
Over the years there has been an explosion of well-produced YouTube “shows” that rival Us reality television in terms of editing, production and quality.

Storage Hunters UK is about to get a dose of American pride this week as Jesse McClure shows up to ruffle some feathers.
One of the original stars of the Us series reunites with auctioneer Sean Kelly on Tuesday (June 6) and instantly starts plotting to get in his rivals' heads.
McClure will appear in an episode taking place in Preston, following fellow Us star T-Money's recent appearance on the show.
Last year, McClure told Digital Spy that he would love to see and star in a UK version of Storage Hunters.
He said: "I think the idea of having a Us and UK intermixed, so you have Brits and Americans going at each other, it would add even more because you have that pride for your country, that pride about where you come from and the pride of, 'I know more than you do', so it's going to amp it up even more so.

Storage Hunters UK Sean Kelly: 'One of the things I like about the UK is getting away from Brandori'
A UK version of addictive reality show Storage Hunters seemed like a pretty safe bet for Dave - and it turned out to be, with the first series becoming the highest-rated show on the channel last year. So it's no surprise that it's back for a second series!

If that phrase means anything to you, then you're likely a huge fan of Storage Hunters, Dave's biggest hit from across the Atlantic. It's now coming back for a UK spinoff, with auctioneer and comedian Sean Kelly keeping things under control once again.
Ahead of the brand new series, Digital Spy sat down with Kelly about how the show is different from its predecessor. Here's what we found out:
Sean was amazed at the UK's love for Storage Hunters
"A comedian friend of mine, George Lopez, he and I were doing a charity fundraiser together and he's like, 'Dude you should get on Twitter'.

Storage Hunters star Sean Kelly has revealed that the show may not return for a fourth season.
The auctioneer - who will star in the upcoming UK version on Dave - told Digital Spy that the original show has yet to be picked up.
"The last time we got done filming was August 2013 and it hasn't been picked up in the Us," he said. "Not because the show wasn't doing well, but TruTV got a new president, and they decided that if they have two shows of a certain genre, they would let one of them go.
'They had Storage Hunters and they had Container Wars, which was a spin-off from Storage Hunters. It was what we did in one of our second season episodes, I did an auction down at the shipping ports with the shipping containers and the network liked it so much they decided to make a show just about that.

"One hundred loves will make you bold/ One hundred more will make you cold," sings Tennis's Alaina Moore, helpfully leaving out "sore", "you'll have to wash your sheets loads" and "your flatmate will give you that judgey look you hate". Tennis have got a bit more R&B-y and the drums are all Black-Keys-y (clearly working with Patrick Carney on their last album was an influence), making it the most upbeat song about putting it about that you'll hear all year. Probably.

Dave has become one of the surprise digital channels to achieve some pretty decent ratings over the past few years, thanks to the combined use of original programming (Red Dwarf, Argumental), repeats of much-loved shows (Top Gear, Qi) and the acquisition of shows from across the pond which haven't yet reached mainstream status here (Man Vs Food).
One such show from the latter group is one of the least authentic and most fake shows you will ever see, and comes under the umbrella of 'trashy reality' programmes that the Us are very good at. Yet, somehow, it is strangely addictive and enjoyable, and has clearly become a big guilty pleasure of many UK viewers.
New episodes regularly beat shows on Channel 4, ITV2 and E4, at just under a million viewers. For a Us show with hardly any promotion on a channel like Dave, that is pretty damn good numbers.
