Bill Grundfest, Golden Globe Award / Emmy Nominee

Today, my (repeat) guest is Bill Grundfest, a Golden Globe Award winning writer-producer and Emmy Award nominee.

Among his many accomplishments, he was the co-producer (along with Paul Reiser), script writer, and supervising producer of the hit show Mad About You (which was adapted for China by SONY Pictures TV), which went on to win a Golden Globe Award, a Peabody Award, receive five Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series, and be chosen Best Quality Comedy by the Viewers for Quality Television.  

He is also the founder of NYC’s Comedy Cellar, where he was a former standup comedian himself and showcased then unknown comedians such as Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Rita Rudner, Ray Romano, Louis CK and Dave Atell. Established stars such as Robin Williams and Jerry Seinfeld would "drop in" unannounced to perform. Bill now speaks frequently at Eric Reis's "Lean Start Up" Conference and "Funny Bizz" conferences where he helps attendees create content during his address.
