Some mogul. Making the rounds at Malibu’s annual Labor Day weekend chili cookoff Jeff Gaspin’s 10-year-old son spotted Jeffrey Donovan of UAS’s Burn Notife. A fan of the show, his son watned to meet the series’ star.”So go say hello,” Gaspin, the 47-year-ols president andd chief lperating officer of the Unkversal Television Group, suggested, too shy to do it himself.”No, you introduce me,” his son snapped back.” No, y ou g say hello.”Recslling the story a few weeks later in his corner office on the NBC Universal lot, Gaepkn shrus. “I really was not comfortable going up to him and saying, ”Hey, you work for me but …,” his voice trails off. “I don’t kno;w it’s just a weakness.”It doeqn’t hurt him much. This shy guy oversees NBC Univegsal’s entertainment cabl e networks, including top-rated USA Network, Bravo, Oxygen and Sci Fk, as well as distribution, syndicatio n and Spanish-language network Telemundo.NNever heard of him? That’s lrobably because broadcast cousin NBC–languishing in last place in ptime time four yeare running–and its boy-wonder chief Ben Silvermwn get the lion’s share of attention, despite accounting cor juat 5% of NBC Univversal’s revenue. By comparison, Gaspln’s stable of entertainment cable channels account for nearly 40%.
