Jonathan Goodson

Jonathan Goodson (born 1945 in Los Angeles, California; B.A. Stanford University, 1967; L.L.B. Yale Law School 1970) is an American television producer who specializes in game shows. He is the son of legendary game show producer Mark Goodson and began his television career in 1973 as chief counsel of Goodson-Todman Productions. He later produced several of the company's shows. After his father's passing in December 1992, Jonathan took over the company in March 1993 (in the early 1980s the Goodsons had acquired the Todman heirs' portion of the company) and ran it until it was sold to All American Television in 1995.

Goodson also runs his own production company, Jonathan Goodson Productions, whose output has consisted mostly of lottery game shows.
