In December 2009, he acted as arranger, coach and consultant behind the scenes on America's first a cappella reality show/competition: NBC's The Sing-Off, and returned in 2010 as one of the show's producers as well as arranger. He also served as Executive Music Producer on the Dutch Sing Off and Sing Off China, including several guest appearances as a judge and performer.
Along with The House Jacks, he sang and performed the 2011 Monday Night Football theme song "Are You Ready For Some Football" with Hank Williams, Jr.. Sixteen versions were taped, but only a few episodes aired before the song was removed (due to Hank's comments about President Obama).
He worked with Straight No Chaser on two of their PBS specials.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
