Sam Seder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sam Seder (born November 28, 1966) is a Liberal comedian, writer, actor, film director, television producer-director, and Air America Radio host. Seder was born in New York City, New York into a Jewish family, and raised in Worcester, Massachusetts.

His works include Who’s the Caboose (1997) as well as the television shows Beat Cops (2001) and Pilot Season (2004). Seder made guest appearances on Spin City (1997), Sex and the City (2000) and America Undercover (2005).

In March 2004, Seder became co-host along with Janeane Garofalo on Air America Radio's The Majority Report. Garofalo recently departed the show offering positive comments about working with Seder. Seder recently announced that he was offered a new contract with Air America Radio, and that his show will move from the current 7-10 pm spot to a 9AM-Noon spot, retitled The Sam Seder Show.

On September 1, 2004, Sam Seder was briefly detained by the Secret Service during his live, on-site coverage of the Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden. Shortly after Zell Miller gave his speech, Seder began searching (with a sign in hand) on the convention floor for a willing homosexual Republican to interview live on radio. It was not long before he was physically removed from the floor and after brief questioning, was asked (or according to some, "strongly encouraged") to leave the convention.

In the closing minutes of their Wednesday, March 9, 2005 show, Garofalo announced that Sam and his wife Nikki were expecting a daughter. This event in his life slightly colored and affected Seder's commentary. On more than one occasion he voiced concerns about just how he was going to explain elements of this world to his daughter as she grows up, after witnessing actions by the Republican Party that Seder felt might adversely affect her future.

On August 9, 2005 at 2:58 AM, Nikki Seder gave birth to daughter, Myla Rae Seder (see[1]).
