I live in New York. I am a comedian, writer and actor. My day job is blogging for VH1.com. I write about the silly things celebrities and pop stars do, so you know...God's work.
You may have seen my writing on many other reputable websites (The Huffington Post, Hello Giggles, xojane.com, The Hairpin, Splitsider, The FW, etc.). I also write crazy blogs about Game of Thrones, Magneto and Jeff Goldblum.
I don't want to talk about anything with you except Star Trek Into Darkness.

Inside with: Rose Surnow, host of "We Love You" | The Apiary
I’ve been very lucky in the last year to interview a lot of awesome people for The Apiary. Rose is a great, hilarious gal whom I’ve met doing open mics and seeing shows in NYC. What makes this interview really special is that the show Rose is hosting and producing isn’t just about making people laugh; it’s supporting an amazing cause.
This Sunday’s show is to support Planned Parenthood and it has a CRAZY line-up: Jessi Klein, Joe Mande, Andrea Rosen, Sara Schaefer & Jared Logan. I am definitely going (remind me to pre-order my tickets online during lunch!). If you live in New York, love comedy, and believe that women shouldn’t be denied affordable check ups, birth control and cancer screenings, then you should also go. And please spread the word!

What was your favorite sketch or idea for a sketch that never made it on-air?
Hmm. I had a thing I wrote with Jenny Slate and Abby Elliott, who are both hilarious, where they played these super annoying dumb sisters who crash their very waspy mom’s second wedding. Sigourney Weaver was the mom. We’d all had experiences with the kind of horrible sorority girl who writes terrible rhyming poems and reads them at rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions in lieu of a speech, like, “When Rachel met Josh/she thought oh my gosh/I’m so in love/I feel like a dove.”
I also wrote this. Well, I didn’t write the intro. A guy who apparently has a crush on Jessi Klein did. You should read it because it’s filled with awesome stuff from an awesome lady comic.
