Press Club award for his oral history of “30 Rock’s” “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah.” Previously, Mike spent more than a decade as a journalist for NPR station LAist/KPCC, where he hosted live event series TV Pilot Club and covered arts & entertainment as well as breaking news. He also writes TV drama scripts with his wife, Kristiana. Mike’s previously written for live L.A. talk shows and been part of house sketch teams at several local comedy theaters.
