Andrew Hill Newman

Teamed with Hank Azaria, Andrew wrote and produced Nobody's Perfect, which premiered at Sundance and won Best Short Film at the 2004 HBO Comedy Arts Festival.

In 2002, Andrew and Joshua Malina created Celebrity Poker Showdown for Bravo. He served as Executive Producer for this highly successful series, which raised more than $2,000,000 for over 100 different charities.

He landed his first staff writing position in 1998 on the UPN sit-com, Guys Like Us. The show did not last long - nor did the network. Partnered with Matthew Perry, he wrote and sold two sit-com pilots and a feature film script, all of which were developed with the studios and networks until they were no longer funny.

In 1997, Andrew wrote sketch and monologue material for Saturday Night Live.
