GENEVIEVE WONG is a four-time Emmy-nominated producer, writer and documentarian based out of Los Angeles and Austin. Currently, she produces The Proof Is Out There and Proof: Xtreme for the History Channel.
Prior to Proof, Genevieve was best known for producing the hit franchises America’s Most Wanted and Access Hollywood, where she was part of the 2016 team that covered the Donald Trump “grab them by the p****” tape leak. Since the historic caught-on-tape moment, Genevieve has soldiered on to make even more groundbreaking television that has aired on a variety of networks and streaming platforms like Discovery+, TNT, Hulu, and beyond.
In recent years, the California native has found herself spending more time on the development side– creating reality, game, and true crime formats for unscripted powerhouses like Fremantle, The Wolper Organization, and The Jay and Tony Show. Genevieve also works as a screenwriter; her scripted projects have caught the attention of production companies like Unicorn Island (late-night host Lilly Singh’s shingle) and Nørlum (Oscar-nominated for Song of the Sea).
When Genevieve isn’t producing or writing, she moonlights as a print journalist (Los Angeles Times, New York Post) and sometimes when she’s lucky, as a SAG-AFTRA actress who does reporter parts (Law & Order: Los Angeles, yA, The Innocence Files). In late 2021, Simon & Schuster published Genevieve’s first book, Healing Herbal Soups, which became an Amazon bestseller in the categories of Chinese Medicine, Soups & Stews, Asian Cooking, and Political Advocacy.
A former Junior Olympian in fencing, Genevieve is a proud alumna of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. She is an active member of the Producers Peer Group at the Television Academy, the Asian-American Journalists Association, and the Producers Guild of America.
