Doug Herzog, president of entertainment at the Fox television network, is leaving his post only a year into his tenure.
Herzog had presided over the extremely disappointing launch of the 1999-2000 season, during which such highly-hyped shows as the Hollywood send-up "Action" and "Ally," the half-hour repackaging of "Ally McBeal," fell flat.
Inevitably, Herzog also caught some of the fallout from "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?," the special which, though it produced sky-high ratings, provoked widespread contempt from critics and viewers alike, especially once the groom’s shady background came to light.

Herzog, you may recall, was the boy genius from Comedy Central who got South Park on the air, or at least took credit for it.
Speaking of Ally McBeal, let's not forget that among Doug Herzog's accomplishments was turning over half an hour of the Fox primetime lineup for edited-down reruns of that show -- essentially a kickback to producer David Kelley, funding his experiments in creating a more syndicatable half-hour sitcom out of an hourlong dramedy.
No, Herzog's real crime is his complete mishandling of the Fox prime-time lineup, an act of malfeasance so great that Fox, once poised to slide past CBS into Big Three network status, is now gazing into the abyss of up-and-comers The WB and UPN.
