Before becoming Chief Content Officer for the e-commerce production company Knocking.com, Candi Carter spent fifteen years producing some of the most memorable hours of television in daytime history for The Oprah Winfrey Show. Carter became an executive producer/showrunner for ABC and had a first-look development deal with ABC Entertainment. She joined The Tamron Hall Show as Executive Producer and Showrunner in March 2020 and under Carter’s supervision, the show received three nominations for the 2021 Daytime Emmys, including Best Informative Talk Show; and two NAACP Image Award nominations. Prior to joining Tamron Hall, Carter served for five seasons as the first Black female Executive Producer of the iconic daytime TV show The View. During her tenure, The View was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame and won an Emmy Award in 2020 for Best Informative Talk Show. If you tune in for CBS Deals you may see Candi hosting segments with Nate Burleson, Gayle King and Tony Dukoupil.

Carter has worked as a television producer for more than twenty-five years. She began her career at CNN in Atlanta and quickly moved on to produce programming specials for WISN-TV, the ABC affiliate in Milwaukee, where she won her first Emmy Award. When Oprah ended its historic run in 2011, Carter raised capital and co-founded New Chapter Entertainment. a production company that originated, developed, and produced unscripted TV shows for broadcast, cable, syndication, and new media. During that three-year run, Carter launched two talk shows for Telepictures TV (a division of Warner Brothers), Just Keke on BET and Ice & Coco on FOX. She also developed and produced presentations, pilots, and shows for HGTV, Lifetime, Cooking Channel, Telepictures TV, TV One, BET, FOX, OWN, Tyler Perry Studios, and PBS.

In her spare time, Carter is dedicated to building opportunities for teens with disabilities. Inspired by Emerson, her twenty-year-old son with special needs, Carter helps raise awareness for organizations serving the disability community and finding ways to promote inclusion in every aspect of society. She created a nonprofit organization called We’ve Got Friends, which helps teens with special needs develop friend groups of their own. We’ve Got Friends currently runs hangouts throughout New Jersey serving hundreds of families. Carter is also a member of several professional organizations, including the Producers Guild, NY Women in Film and Television, the National Association of Black Journalists, the Links Incorporated, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and two children.
