I recently put out the word to my friends for suggestions for this site, and my buddy nominated his wife Emily who wrote for SNL for almost 10 years… And for good reason, please check out her list of accomplishments below, she is on fire;
- Only the 2nd woman in the history of Saturday Night Live to be a Writing Supervisor/Co-Head Writer(2009/10).
- Only the 2nd woman in the history of SNL (after Tina Fey) to ever ‘run a table’, which means managing revisions on rewrite day.
- 1 of only a handful of high profile women comedy writers who did not attend an Ivy League School, but made it anyway. (The only non Ivy Leaguer on her own writing staff at her new show.)
- Sold her very first attempt at a Pilot through to series on NBC. (Even if it crashes and burns, that’s pretty much unheard of.)
Emily is a comedy writer of the highest order, she obviously rules.
That new show on NBC he was talking about?.. That’s out now, it’s called Up All Night, starring Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, and Maya Rudolph.
I was one of the almost 11 million people to watch the teaser and love it, and I want everyone to watch it every week, okay?.. good
