The Resume

    (July 9, 1949- )
    Born in Wirral in Merseyside, North West England, United Kingdom
    Choreographer for 'The Muppet Show'
    Executive producer for the British Survivor
    Producer for 'Pop Idol,' 'Popstars (British version),' 'American Idol' and 'American Juniors'
    Created 'So You Think You Can Dance' with Simon Fuller

Why he might be annoying:

    His father, a dock worker, did not approve of his decision to go into dancing.
    He has a wide nose.
    Viewers gave him the none-too-subtle nickname of 'Nasty Nigel.'
    He loves dramatic moments.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He began dancing at age 10.
    In January 2003, he suffered – and survived – a heart attack with only even odds of survival (50 percent).
    He choreographed literally hundreds of international television programs.
    Unlike Simon Cowell, he has no problem with guest judges ('the only time he's happy to be next to anyone is when he's leaning against a mirror').
    He praised Blake McGrath's dancing skills but was not pleased with his manners.
