He has been a guest on "The Today Show," "Dateline" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." He also wrote briefly for Saturday Night Live.

Bill McCuddy is currently working on a book, Stage Right: The New Emerging Conservative Hollywood.

You'll learn why Russell Crowe wanted to throw more than a phone at Bill McCuddy. How he conned Barbra Streisand into stopping by and why she thought she was on TV when there wasn't even a tape in the camera. And why Tom Cruise stopped for Bill alone and brought then-wife Nicole Kidman with him. You won't feel sorry for someone who gets to rub shoulders and mascara with the stars, but you'll watch with a more cynical eye next time.

  • Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations.
  • Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

Premiere Speakers Bureau distinguishes itself by having over 30 years of experience while partnering with more than 35,000 events. PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
