Zirinsky's crew has also helped produce documentaries and specials on everything from major news events (Sept. 11, Hurricane Katrina, Iraq) to pop stars past and present (Britney Spears, Tyra Banks, Elvis Presley). "Look, we're not to the manor born," said Ms. Zirinsky. "That's just the reality I live in. I admire 60 Minutes. Would I like to do 60 Minutes at some point? Yeah, that's not going to happen.
