Before working for Nickelodeon, Fisher produced many programs but one of her most challenging was the Mark Burnett reality adventure race, a 350-miles race in Cairns, Australia for The Discovery Channel called Eco Challenge – Australia. The Eco Challenge although considered a sporting event was actually a five – one hour series illustrating the spirit and challenge required by all competitors through difficult terrain handling many disciplines (i.e. mountain climbing, kayaking, repelling, etc.). The stories of their victories and defeats were the highlight of this program engulfed by the beautiful scenery of Australia. Eco-Challenge was Executive Produced by Mark Burnett and the reality show inspiration for the CBS series Survivor.

Concert of the Americas highlighted music from both North and South Americas including performances from Liza Minelli, Tito Puente, Rita Marley, Dr. Maya Angelou and hosted by Michael Douglas. The challenge while working with dignitaries and noted talent the program required intense security working with the White House staff and secret services while attempting to produce an entertaining program.
