Career
A journalist and PR professional, George, was associated with the BBC back in 2002 when work commitments brought him to Karachi, where he hosted the BBC produced political talk show Question Time Pakistan. He then produced another show for BBC titled Hard Talk Pakistan. While staying in Pakistan, George was offered to host a TV show by Geo TV to share his experiences in Pakistan. Named ‘George ka Pakistan’, was the reality TV show that first made the British journalist known across the country. After George Fulton had traveled all over the country, plowing fields with Punjabi farmers and building Kalashnikovs with the Pashtuns, he was voted a real Pakistani by the audience and was given a Pakistani passport. Later, he joined AAJ TV, where he launched another show called News, Views and Confused, - a variation of the famous Have I Got News for You. He produced and scripted the show’s first season, before moving on to produce Aaj TV’s morning show along with his wife titled Kiran Aur George. The duo also hosted their show.

Upon his return to Pakistan, George worked as Director of PR for M&C Saatchi before establishing his YouTube channel.
