Jordan McDeere is a fictional character on the United States television series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, played by Amanda Peet.
[edit] Personal history
Jordan is the president of the National Broadcasting System, a great achievement for a woman of her age. Her employment record includes two years in Business Affairs at Atlantic Records, two as Vice President in charge of production at United Artists and four years at NBC. She got her B.A. in American Studies at Amherst College and a J.D. at Yale Law School. She's from Charlottesville, Virginia originally.[1]
When she was 25, Jordan was married for nine months to Ryan Mulrooney, whose idea of "fun" involved taking his wife to sex clubs. She divorced him and used to pay him alimony; Mulrooney is working on an upcoming self-published book: Confessions of a Network Husband: My Life With Jordan McDeere.
In "B-12", Jordan tells Danny Tripp that she is pregnant. Jordan's pregnancy was written into the script following the September news of Peet's real-life pregnancy.[2] The father is her ex-boyfriend who had previously given Jordan the information that Danny had failed his drug test, which lead to his and Matt's being signed to Studio 60. Also in "B-12", Jordan tells a reporter from Time that she was raised Catholic and attended Catholic schools for 12 years.
