Exclusive: April Yuan, one of the founding partners of Vital Artists Agency, is joining Verve.
Non-fiction agent Yuan has joined Verve’s newly rebranded non-Fiction team, headed by Partner Andy Stabile.

"It's the kind of thing that I hope will make a difference in the way that we are seen and the way that people relate to us," Carolina Saavedra tells Popsugar about her new show "Leguizamo Does America." The six-part series premieres Sunday, Apr. 16, on MSNBC and follows actor, comedian, and film producer John Leguizamo as he travels across America and celebrates Latinx excellence.
"As a Latina in this country, I think we all revere John Leguizamo and feel as though he speaks - and has been speaking - on our behalf and for us for so long," Saavedra says. "And the idea of being able to work with him to celebrate our stories was a dream come true."
Saavedra served as showrunner on the series, taking it from a four- or five-page pitch deck with Leguizamo to the rich docuseries about to air. As she tells it, Saavedra's involvement began with a cold call.

John Leguizamo hasn’t been known in the past for his interviewing skills, but he sure likes to talk. And that may be enough.
The actor and comedian may be recognized most for his theatrical work in self-conceived shows like “Mambo Mouth” and “Latin History for Morons” as well as his parts in movies such as “Carlito’s Way” and “Encanto.” Yet he may have a chance to take on a role in documentary programing previously held by people like Anthoney Bourdain, Stanley Tucci and W. Kamau Bell.
Interviewing people “is not exactly what I naturally do,” Leguizamo acknowledges during a phone interview. “Luckily, I am a friendly motherf—er, so that works to my advantage.”
In April, his abilities in the space will be put to the test, when MSNBC debuts the six-episode “Leguizamo Does America.” The series, produced with NBC News Studios, will put a spotlight on Latino contributions...
