Suzanne Lanoue – Founder, President, Writer, reviewer, and interviewer.
Suzanne is Founder and President of The TV MegaSite, Inc. aka TVMEG.COM! Originally from San Diego, CA, she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts (in the fields of Music, English and History) in 1986 at the Stony Brook University. She started working for Ask Jeeves about ten years later as one of the search engine’s first employees. She started The TV MegaSite while working there and was at Ask Jeeves for almost 5 years. She was laid off with 25% of the company in 2000.
Watching many hours of TV, reading many plays and books about the stage and screen, and acting in high school drama led to her lifelong love of and interest in TV, movies, acting, and Hollywood. Working full time on the site for over 25 years has been gratifying and allows her to receive many free DVDs to review for the site and to interview many TV actors, writers, and producers by phone and video conference on a frequent basis. She also receives links (screeners) to many TV shows before they air. Suzanne has been a proud journalist, interviewing actors, producers and writers for 18 years.
Besides writing for TVMEG.COM, she has also written regularly for Karaoke Scene Magazine and has published articles for the Southern Arkansas University campus newspaper The Bray, about.com (now https://www.dotdash.com), SciFiVision, Medium and KryptonRadio. She was also published in the San Diego Reader and has other submissions in progress.
Along with writing and interviewing, she has managed the site’s other volunteers; sought out appearances, news and spoilers; made daily daytime soap transcripts; helped with the site’s Primetime TV Forum News and Chat and mailing lists; built other pages for the site; written two blogs; posted on our Instagram, Facebook and X feeds; and anything else that’s needed.
Suzanne started focusing more on just writing and interviewing for the site in 2025, while Brenda (now Editor-in-Chief) does the managing and editing. When she’s not too busy with writing, Suzanne helps with moving The TV MegaSite’s content to, and creating new content for https://tvmeg.com Due to some health and family issues, she has cut back a lot on her work with the site and is considering retiring. So far, she is reluctant to leave the site she founded so long ago.
Suzanne has also been a professional singer in a band and has other interests and hobbies. She currently lives in Port Washington, NY with her husband of 44 years, David Lanoue, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs at SUNY Old Westbury. Suzanne graduated in May, 2020, from SAU with another B.A., in Mass Communication (Mass Media) in order to improve opportunities for this site. A member of Alpha Chi Honor Society, she graduated with a 3.94 grade average after taking part-time classes for two-and-a-half years.
She’s been having fun taking art classes, learning to draw and paint (as well as use Photoshop and other programs) for the past 3 1/2 years. View her work on Facebook.
