Occupation writer, comedian, actor

Brian Sack (born 1968) is an American writer and actor. Sack is a graduate of Ithaca College in New York and lives in New York City.

He is the author of In the Event of My Untimely Demise: 20 Things My Son Needs to Know (HarperCollins, 2008)[1].

Sack has written for Radar, The Independent, CRACKED, Glamour, Fusion Magazine, and McSweeney's Internet Tendency.

He appears on Glenn Beck on Headline News, a daily television program on CNN Headline News where he serves as comedic relief and the show's "Public Viewer", taking host Beck to task on a variety of subjects. He is also a contributor on CNN Headline's Not Just Another Cable News Show.

He can be heard in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV as host "Mike Riley" of the Public Liberty Radio network's "Intelligent Agenda" program.

Sack and musician John Mayer collaborated on a comedy short titled "The Paul Reddy Show." The half-hour comedy appears on Mayer's Heavier Things DualDisc. Sack's clueless "Paul Reddy" character was based on PBS mainstay Charlie Rose and peppers Mayer with outlandish and often absurd questions. [2]

In September 2005 Sack penned an eBay listing titled DKNY Men's Leather Pants I Unfortunately Own which achieved a record 3.4 million hits and appeared in newspapers worldwide including the The Guardian, New York Daily News, The Independent and Women's Wear Daily.[3] In December 2007 another auction titled Drive Someone Insane with Postcards offered to send mystery correspondence from Eastern Europe to a mark of the bidder's choosing. In an interview on NPR Sack told host Linda Wertheimer the top bid was $415 for three postcards. [4]

During college Sack performed sketch comedy with Daily Show alumnus Chris Regan and MAD-TV performer Andrew Daly. He spent ten years with improvisational comedy troupe Laughing Matters performing alongside Aqua Teen Hunger Force actor Mike Schatz and Boston Legal regular Gary Anthony Williams.
