The article discusses an interesting fact about the TV show Lost, specifically regarding the voice that says "previously on Lost" at the beginning of each episode. It is revealed that the person behind this iconic line is Lloyd Braun, the former chairman of ABC.

Although he was not officially involved in the creative aspects of the show, Braun played a crucial role in its conception. He came up with the original pitch for Lost and ordered a script, envisioning it as a television version of the movie Cast Away. After rejecting a screenplay and greenlighting a rewritten version from J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, Lost was born.

However, Braun left ABC just before the show premiered. Despite no longer being with the network, he agreed to record the "previously on Lost" line, which was used in every episode. The identity of the voice remained a secret for a while, but it eventually leaked. It was revealed that Braun's recording was a homage to his involvement in the show's success. Despite facing criticism and controversy for his faith in Lost, the show became a massive hit, justifying Braun's belief in its potential.
