Isn’t it time every editor-in-chief and editor in chief got on the same page?
Sarah Ricard has been a writing professional since 2004. Recaps, reviews, news, celebrity interviews — they’ve all contributed to her carpal tunnel.

Isn’t it time every editor-in-chief and editor in chief got on the same page?
Sarah Ricard has been a writing professional since 2004. Recaps, reviews, news, celebrity interviews — they’ve all contributed to her carpal tunnel.
As an editor at Rotten Tomatoes, she launched TV coverage, introducing the Tomatometer to 20 years’ worth of scripted TV shows, while also co-hosting a top TV recap podcast on Apple for Game of Thrones, Transparent, The Leftovers, and others. She has been a member of the Television Critics Association and an expert guest on CNN, Headline News, Gold Derby, KPCC, KCRW, and WXRT.
In addition to Rotten Tomatoes, her work has been featured in TV.com, New York Magazine/Vulture, The Los Angeles Times, USA Insider, SYFY.com, and Cracked.
Ricard has a Bachelors in English from UMass Dartmouth where she was a Commonwealth Scholar, and a Master of Arts in Cinema Studies from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Much of her graduate work focused on literature and film adaptation, and her all-time favorite movie is (not-too-surprisingly) Adaptation. Her favorite novel adaptation is One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
She is currently Vice President of Editorial at NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock, which she joined prior to its launch in 2020 to lead all copy and content writing efforts for the brand. Her favorite Peacock shows include The Traitors, Poker Face, The Day of the Jackal, MacGruber, and Paul T. Goldman.
A Massachusetts native, she lives in New York and Los Angeles with her husband, TV composer David Ricard. Together, they helped co-found the Grand Street Community Band, an all-volunteer symphonic wind ensemble which is part of New York City’s nonprofit Metropolitan Music Community (MMC) and has performed at both Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.
In her spare time, Ricard enjoys cats and dogs, bowling (she finally broke 200), going to the movies — especially at the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles — learning NYC history, staying out of the sun, and listening to jazz piano greats like Monty Alexander, Gene Harris, and Oscar Peterson. She plans to Golden Girls-it with her friends “after the men.”
