Brillstein Entertainment Partners (formerly known as Brillstein/Grey Entertainment and Brillstein/Grey Communications) is a talent management firm and television production company formed by the 1986 addition of Brad Grey to The Brillstein Company, founded by Bernie Brillstein in 1969. On September 18, 2023, it was announced that Casey Wasserman's eponymous company had acquired BEP.
Bernie Brillstein formed The Brillstein Company in 1969, where he continued to manage stars and develop television programming, a career he began in the fabled mailroom of the William Morris Agency. He produced such popular television hits as Hee Haw, The Muppet Show, and Saturday Night Live.

In 1981, the company produced its first ever television series, Open All Night, under Freeway Productions.

The company became Brillstein Entertainment Partners after Brad Grey left the company to become the head of Paramount Pictures. It is now[when?] headed by Jonathan Liebman, Marc Gurvitz, and Cynthia Pett.
In 1984, Brillstein met Brad Grey at a television convention in San Francisco. In 1986, the two formed a production company, Brillstein-Grey Entertainment, which packaged programming and managed talent. In 1991, the company signed a production and distribution deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment to produce and distribute films and programs produced by the company.
