The Simon Cowell of dating, Patti's brutal honesty and gut instincts are like nothing you've ever seen. They may not end up in a hot-tub at the end of every episode� in fact, more than likely, they'll end up in hot water with Patti for not following her advice!
Robert Sharenow and Colleen Conway are executive producers for A&E. CONFESSIONS OF A MATCHMAKER is produced for A&E Network by Sharp Entertainment. Executive producers are Matthew Sharp and Smash Advertising. Co-executive producer is Jerry Kolbert. Supervising producer is Joshua Seftel.
