In the movie "The TV Set", what is the profession of the character played by Sigourney Weaver?

In "The TV Set," Sigourney Weaver plays a television network president.

Weaver’s character is Lenny, a powerful network executive who evaluates and reshapes a television pilot written by Mike Klein, played by David Duchovny. Lenny represents the commercial side of broadcast television: she is concerned with audience appeal, scheduling, marketability, and whether a serious creative project can be turned into a viable network show.

The 2006 comedy-drama follows the stressful process of developing a pilot, from script changes and casting decisions to the network’s attempts to make the program safer and more broadly appealing. Lenny’s position gives her authority over the project, placing her in direct conflict with Mike’s personal investment in the material.

A nearby fact often causes confusion: some listings describe Weaver’s role generally as a “network executive,” while the film’s premise and several contemporary descriptions identify Lenny more specifically as the network president. Weaver was also the daughter of Pat Weaver, who served as NBC president in the 1950s, an especially apt real-life connection to the role.
