[Evan Waite] Is The Genre

How 'Family Guy' co-executive producer Evan Waite went from scribbling his own captions on top of newspaper strips to publishing the hilarious new humor book 'Life Wants You Dead'

Tim Barnes chats with comedian/writer Evan Waite about his early fascination with comics, his brief career as a teacher abroad, and how he carved his way into being a working comedy writer.

Evan Waite is a co-executive producer on Fox’s Family Guy, and wrote on the Emmy-winning Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, NBC’s Sunnyside, Inside Job, The President Show, Our Cartoon President, Fairfax, and Kevin Hart’s Guide to Black History. He won a Writer’s Guild Award for his work on Adult Swim’s Three Busy Debras. He also contributes to The Onion, The New Yorker and McSweeney’s, and has written for Mad magazine, ClickHole, and Funny or Die. He lives in LA and can be found on Twitter at @TheOhBits.

His first humor book, "Life Wants You Dead: A Calm, Rational, and Totally Legit Guide to Scaring Yourself Safe" is available now and in bookstores everywhere!
