To begin with, Andy started his career as a producer working on the talk show „The Rosie O’Donnell Show“ in 1996. The show was also known for the production featuring the extensive number of Broadway shows, sometimes criticised as too much. The talk show stood out from the rest to keep it light, as the host interacted with her audience and was constantly focused on her guests, not bothering to make a few jokes, which was apparently partly responsible for its decline. However, Andy Lassner rose to fame producing the „The Ellen DeGeneres Show“ (2003 – present), for which Lassner is the executive co-producer alongside Ed Glavin, Mary Connelly and Jim Paratore as well as DeGeneres. For its first five seasons, the show was recorded in NBC Studios based in Burbank , California, then moved to studio of Warner Bros., and since the beginning of the sixth season, the program has been broadcast in high definition . The show has won 36 Daytime Emmy Awards since 2004, and in 2010 and 2012, the program was named best talk show by the Genesis Awards. The program combines comedy, celebrities, guests interpreting a song, and social topics. The program often includes games with public participation and prizes are awarded. During its Twelve Days of Giveaways, members of the public receive approximately $ 2,200 in prizes on each of the twelve episodes. Since the show has become very popular, the public is often too numerous for all to attend the recordings.
Moreover, Andy has produced other broadcasts on television, including the films „Ellen’s Even Bigger Really Big Show“ (2008), „Ellen’s Bigger, Longer & Wider Show“ (2009) and „Ellen’s Somewhat Special Special“ (2010) all directed by Michael Dempsey, also the conflict resolution talk show „The Test“ (2013) and television series „Kevin Nealon’s Laugh Lessons“ (2013 – present). In 2014, he produced a comedy film „Sophia Grace & Rosie’s Royal Adventure“ directed by Brian Levant. Lassner has also consulted the hosts of The 86th Academy Awards.
Overall, all the aforementioned engagements have added sums to the outright size of Andy Lassner net worth.
Finally, in the personal life of producer, Andy is married and has a daughter, though he does not reveal much about his private life. He is an avid fan of the Los Angelos Kings team which plays in the National Hockey League.
