NY Post: ‘Tank’ Mogul works magic

Barbara Corcoran — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:46:37 +0000

Barbara Corcoran is turning the tables on “Shark Tank.”

Instead of listening to entrepreneurs’ pitches, the real estate mogul is making her case to ABC executives in an effort to get a second season order for the Mark Burnett reality series.

During its 14-episode run, viewership hovered at a mediocre 5 million viewers per episode.

In anticipation of the network’s final decision on Monday, Corcoran — one of the series’ five investor “sharks” — whipped up a 340-page color brochure filled with statistics and testimonials about the businesses that she personally invested in after they appeared on the show.

She says she’s sent eight copies of the books to network execs, hoping to “Let them walk in the shoes of the entrepreneurs they were helping . . . being a good guy, not just doing a good show on TV,” she says.
“I was trying to appeal to their Americanism — let the good guy win, everybody deserves a break, any of those slogans that perhaps they’re too removed from by just analyzing numbers and deciding what goes and what stays.”

“Shark Tank” star Barbara Corcoran has a sense of humor. She must: an incredibly successful real estate mogul, she’s the author of three books, including my favorite title, If You Don’t Have Big Breasts, Put Ribbons on Your Pigtails.

Yikes!

On her ABC show, which airs its second season finale this Friday, February 5 at 9 p.m., Barbara is on a panel of experts assessing potential business investments. There are some great ideas; and there are some horrible ideas.

Barbara is the only woman on the panel and presents some of the best “Are you out of your mind?” facial expressions to the deer-in-the-headlights, wannabee capitalists.

But she’s also invested in a few good ideas along the way.

Hear it now! AUDIO EXCERPT: “Think of the opportunity and the sheer entertainment value of ‘Shark Tank’! We’re working 11-hour days, listening to pitch after pitch and we’re never bored. It is so fascinating! And then you go home with new business partners. Who would say no to something like that?”
