BiographyHarry Friedman (born November 12, 1946) is an American television industry executive. He was the executive producer of the syndicated game shows Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune from 1999 to 2020. Initially he shared the title of executive producer with the shows' creator, Merv Griffin, but from Griffin's 2000 retirement until his own 2020 retirement, he served as their sole executive producer.

Friedman has produced a combined total of more than 5,500 episodes of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. Friedman introduced a number of new gameplay elements, theme weeks, and technological advances to both programs, and in 2006 he led both shows to make television history by becoming the first syndicated television series to broadcast in high definition.

In September 2021, it was reported Friedman will be executive producer for a proposed NBC revival of the game show Tic Tac Dough with Tom Bergeron as host. The show, however, was not picked up.

On April 28, 2022, it was confirmed Friedman will be the executive producer for the second season of another NBC game show revival, Capital One College Bowl, which ran until October 28, 2022.
