JOE STRAZZULLO
(Screenwriter)
A four-time WGA Award-nominated and two-time WGA Award-Winning, Jimmy Kimmel writer, Joe Strazzullo was born and raised in San Bruno, California. It wasn’t easy being from the same town as Suzanne Somers, but Joe was determined to break free from the ThighMaster’s shadow.
After graduating from USC in 2000, Joe pursued a career in Late Night Television, landing a staff writer job on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
During his tenure at The Late Late Show, Joe wrote dozens of sketches for Betty White, and helped her launch her own hidden camera show “Off Their Rockers.”
Joe has written for over 3000 episodes of late-night television. While at The Late Late Show, Joe formed a creative partnership with comedy royalty Tim Meadows. Tim and Joe have active projects in development.
Joe followed with a successful stint as a staff writer on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he was nominated for four WGA awards, winning twice.
Additionally, Joe has written for The Oscars, Emmys, the MTV Movie Awards, the NBA Awards, White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the People’s Choice Awards, The Mark Twain Awards, The VES Awards and the AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards.
Joe’s work can next be seen on the upcoming season of Inside Amy Schumer as well as on the live pre-show for the Chris Rock Netflix special. Peers in the industry say Joe has nice glasses and is younger than expected. Joe currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Kelly and their son Michelangelo (named after the Ninja Turtle).
