Tales from the Script (2009)
Emmy award winning screenwriter, Steve Koren, began his career writing monologue jokes for comedians such as David Letterman, Dennis Miller, and Kevin Nealon. This led to "Saturday Night Live" where he worked on Weekend Update and created sketches for stars such as Will Ferrell, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and Molly Shannon.

Steve left late night TV to write on Seinfeld. He is best known for his episode "The Serenity Now," in addition to penning "The English Patient," and "The Abstinence" and "The Dealership."

Following Seinfeld, Steve created several sitcoms for actors such as Steve Carrell, Valerie Harper and Ron Liebman.

In the feature world, Steve's best known for co-writing "Bruce Almighty" as well as "Click," and SNL cult films "Night At the Roxbury" and "Superstar." He's also worked as an on-set producer for Adam Sandler on films such as "Grown Ups," "Just Go With It," "Blended," and "Pixels" among others.

More recently, he's contributed to "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and worked as a writer/producer on the hit HBO series "Veep."
