Andy Breckman Biography

Andy Breckman is one of the most popular and richest Screenwriter who was born on March 3, 1955 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. American screenwriter and radio personality, most recognized for creating the USA series Monk.

Earlier in his career, he wrote for The Late Show with David Letterman.

Breckman wrote for Late Night with David Letterman from 1982 to 1984, and contributed sketches to Saturday Night Live from 1983 to 1996. One of his most well-known vignettes was a Saturday Night Live sketch called “White Like Me” (which he also directed), in which Eddie Murphy disguises himself as a Caucasian for a day. In 2003 he served as a jokewriter for comedian Steve Martin’s stint as host of the Academy Awards.

Since 1992, Breckman and WFMU station manager Ken Freedman have co-hosted a weekly one-hour comedy call-in radio program, Seven Second Delay. The premise of the program seems to be a never-ending series of dead-on-arrival concepts, with the comedic value hinging on Breckman’s recurring acknowledgment of failure and his desire to go home as quickly as possible. Breckman has described his co-host as “a sad, bitter little man and [WFMU’s] fundraisers are a good time to humiliate him and exploit his willingness to do just about anything, including prostituting himself, to raise money for his adorable little public hippy noise radio station.”

He had three children with wife Beth Landau.
