Alfred Michael Masini (5 January 1930 - 29 November 2010) was an American television producer.
Masini was born in in Jersey City, New Jersey, and was a three-sport star in college and an Air Force officer during the Korean War.
His production company created and produced "Entertainment Tonight," "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," "Solid Gold," and "Star Search." To ensure that "Entertainment Tonight" would be timely, Masini pioneered the use of satellites to transmit the syndicated program, according to a 1986 New York Times article.
He is survived by his wife, sister, and two nieces.
