Popular reality show The Kardashians season 3 continues the series' tradition of introducing viewers to the Kardashian family's wide network of family, friends and collaborators, and this newest season has people asking "who is Ben Winston?"
While not a star of the show, Winston's name pops up a lot in The Kardashians, and that's because he's one of the show's executive producers — and one of the few members of the production who isn't actually a Kardashian.
Ben Winston is a British TV producer for the prolific production company Fulwell 73, which he co-founded. Lots of his credits include music videos and documentaries, having worked with JLS, One Direction, Bruno Mars, Robbie Williams and Harry Styles to name a few; he's also worked on sports documentaries, live events and comedy stand-up shows. In addition, he directed Friends: The Reunion.
