“Ori Hoffer is, without a doubt, the very best TV interviewer I’ve yet dealt with—and I’ve done quite a bit of TV along the way. Usually book shows lack energy and humor and end up being pretentious for no good reason. Ori was the exact opposite… an absolute pleasure to work with… and what a magnetic TV presence he has. I really, really, really enjoyed the interview.” – Steven Kotler, author “A Small Furry Prayer”
“I can proudly say I that “I knew Ori when….” Ori had that rare quality for a media maker to actually care about what he was talking about. His quetsions and comments reflected a true connection to my mission. Sky is the limit for Ori.” – Peter H. Reynolds, author, founder of FableVision
“Watching Ori work is amazing. He’s the on air talent as well as the producer of a high-quality nightly news program. He’s networked with an amazingly diverse group, and puts together a fast-paced and interesting show as a result. I first met Ori when our paths crossed at a cycling event. I gave him one of my books and he scheduled an interview for two days later. When I arrived in studio he’d already read the entire book and he was prepared with all sorts of insightful questions. How does he do it? I can’t imagine, but his talent is obvious.” – Dave Shields, author, “The Race”
“Like most writers, I’m a writer because I lack verbal skills. But I felt almost glib talking with you. Thanks for such a nice, easy interview.” — Sandra Dallas, author, “Whiter Than Snow”
“I love working with Park City TV during Sundance and have been really impressed with how Ori has taken the channel to the next level. He’s a true supporter of music (our business) and has a interesting array of guests for booked for his shows and make sure it works for all. It’s a great venue and platform to expose Park City and beyond to our acts and he’s been a great constant in our Sundance schedule. I highly recommend working with Ori – he has great vision, commitment and passion for his job and channel and makes the experience really fantastic.” — Hanna Pantle, Assistant VP Corporate and Media Relations, BMI
“Ori is a great television host. As a guest on his show, Ori put me at ease and helped us with everything we needed to know. On air, Ori is confident and energetic. His personality translates very well to the screen — a quality I genuinely admire.” – Eric Hamilton, photographer
“Ori was one of the fastest and best editors on the AOL News channel staff…and that says a lot; that was a superb crew. He exudes energy and excellence. He has a good eye for detail and has a healthy competitive edge. Plus, he is a fun, positive guy when the pressure gets intense. A top performer who delivers the goods.” – John Barth, Former GM News and Politics, America Online/Currently Managing Director at PRX
“Ori was the creative engine on the AOL Sports desk when we shared a newsroom. He conceived, developed and managed a number a large projects, including the newsroom’s 24-hour Olympics and World Cup soccer coverage. His early insight into the web’s 2.0 capabilities could be seen in an interactive Sweet-16 fantasy pool that called on visitors to rate the best sports movies as they might a college hoops bracket. Ori worked extensively with external partners to develop and launch the AOL Sports channel, making it one of the most-trafficked online sports sites. Ori is an excellent project manager and an astute editor with a keen sense of what his audience wants. He loves what he does and it’s evident in the product he puts out. ” – Jim Eppard, AOL News
