Meet the Makers: The Challenge

In celebration of Season 40 of MTV’s “The Challenge,” Emily Longeretta moderated a panel with Julie Pizzi, president & CEO, Bunim/Murray Productions and 51 Minds Entertainment, showrunner and executive producer Justin Booth and cast members Leroy Garrett, Aneesa Ferreira, CT Tamburello and Rachel Robinson.
