Alan Zweibel
TV Comedy Writer & Playwright
An
original "Saturday Night Live" writer, Alan Zweibel has won five Emmy
Awards for his work in television, which also includes "It’s Garry
Shandling’s Show," "The Late Show with David Letterman," and "Curb Your
Enthusiasm". Alan’s latest book, a cultural memoir titled Laugh Lines ‑ My
Life Helping Funny People Be Funnier, was recently published and a movie he co‑wrote
with Billy Crystal titled Here Today that stars Crystal and Tiffany
Haddish will be released later this year.
Dave Barry
Pulitzer Prize-Winning Humorist
Dave Barry has been a professional humorist ever since he discovered
that professional humor was a lot easier than working. For many years, he wrote
a newspaper column that appeared in more than 500 newspapers and generated
thousands of letters from readers who thought he should be fired. Despite this,
Barry won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary, although he misplaced it
for several years, which is why his wife now keeps it in a secure location that
he does not know about. One of Barry's columns was largely responsible for the
movement to observe International Talk Like a Pirate Day every year
on September 19. This is probably his most enduring achievement.
