Zucker had served as president of the NBC Universal Television Group since May 2004, and as president of the Entertainment, News and Cable Group since December 2003.
Zucker put his mark on the network with such successes as "Las Vegas," "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," "Scrubs," "Fear Factor," and "The Apprentice." He originated the idea of supersizing NBC's comedies and revitalized the network's summer programming with original fare that has paved the way to year-round programming.
Zucker has also served as executive producer of NBC’s coverage of several major events of the last decade, including the “Decision 2000” election night broadcast, the 1993 and 1997 presidential inaugurations, and the Persian Gulf War.

 Jerry Zucker - Biography - Moviefone
The Zucker boys and Abrahams agreed to this project only on the provision that the three men be allowed to co-direct the film themselves, a triumvirate that held strong throughout the rest of the '80s.
In 1990, Zucker astounded his fans (and non-fans) with his sensitive solo direction of Ghost, a romantic fantasy that became one of the top-grossing films of the year and won an Oscar for supporting actress Whoopi Goldberg.
Jerry Zucker has since fluctuated between his satirical films and more serious works; the only "consistent" aspect of these films is the supporting-cast presence of Jerry and David's mom, Charlotte Zucker.

My memory of it is kind of fuzzy, but basically I remember a kind of sappy romantic story with a decent-enough ghost plot and stupid Whoopie.
Scary Movie 2 went horribly wrong, so it was a relief to hear the Zucker brothers would take a crack at the next two sequels.
By now their version of parody that they invented in the 80s is kind of old, even sweet, so it doesn't have any of the bite that the first Scary Movie had.

Director Jerry Zucker's joyously dumb, slaphappy riff on It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World garnered some unfair criticism upon its release: How dare they tamper with a classic?
But truth be told, the 1963 source inspiration for Zucker and screenwriter Andy Breckman was overlong, underwritten, and more than a little bloated, despite its who's-who cast of early-'60s comic geniuses.
Zucker doesn't bring any discernible style or flair to the proceedings -- the movie looks about 15 years out of date, something that couldn't be said of the wide-wide-widescreen Cinerama original -- but he does bring with him his impeccable sense of comic timing.

Now, this routine is tired, repetitious, and devoid of energy - which is a pretty good way to describe the movie as a whole.
Absent for this third installment are the Wayans Brothers who are replaced by David Zucker and his scribe-for-hire, Pat Proft, which is unfortunate because it is the Wayans Brothers gift for irreverent humour, that made the first two so funny, even though they were bordering on the offensive.
