King has also taken his talents from behind the scenes to in front of the camera as a television host/personality and pop culture enthusiast.
arlos King is one of the most sought-after executive producers in reality television.
With over ten years under his production belt, King has quickly created a niche for himself in the docu-soap arena. He has produced high-profile programs such as eight seasons of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes, The Four on Fox and named one of The Hollywood Reporter’s 30 Most Powerful Producers in Unscripted TV.

Gucci Mane & Keyshia Ka’Oir’s wedding series, The Mane Event, debuted as the highest rated series premiere for the 2017-18 schedule. Love and Marriage: Huntsville debuted in 2019 and immediately became a breakout hit as the first show on the network in 5 years to see a ratings growth from its first season to the second.

CARLOS is KING!
From Diddy’s blueprint to becoming the prototype for cable productions, Carlos King’s reality reign can’t stop, and won’t stop.
Known for being a purveyor of pop culture-driven reality television, it is nearly impossible to turn on your television without feeling the dominance of the king – Carlos King. Originating from the great Motor City [Detroit], King – the CEO of Kingdom Reign Entertainment – is seemingly unstoppable when it comes to hot streaks of reality television.
Before the green screen Carlos had drive with a dream. While studying media and journalism at Wayne State University, the go-getter decided to move to New York City where he entered a matrix of interning – ABC’s The View, Def Jam Records, MTV, and later BET.
“I followed Puff Daddy’s school of thought, which was to get an internship because no one is going to turn down a freebie! I was an intern at BET when I was 25 years old. For these kids nowadays that’s the end of the road. But I didn’t care. I knew my road was going to be different. I wanted to get in the business.”
