Currently a writer “ and regular roundtable guest “ on E! Entertainment™s hit late night series, œChelsea Lately, Wollack has also appeared as a guest on œThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno, as well as in a number of national commercials where he was seen happily pitching products for companies he™s even at odds with politically. He is also a regular co-host on œAfter Party Live -- E!™s live post-award show coverage. Additionally, Wollack is also the Co-Executive Producer, co-creator, and a co-star of the E! comedy series œAfter Lately “ a semi-scripted show about the lives of œChelsea Lately staffers “ and he™s co-thrilled about it.
As a stand-up comedian, Wollack tours nationally with the ˜Comedians of Chelsea Lately™ and opens for the likes of Chelsea Handler and Kevin Nealon. As a contributing author to the #1 New York Times Bestseller, ˜Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me™, Wollack has hit the road with Handler in 2011 as part of the 20+ city stand-up tour promoting the book™s release. In addition to theaters nationwide, he regularly plays comedy clubs across the U.S. including the Hollywood Improv, the Laugh Factory, the Punch Line in San Francisco and Sacramento, and at Caroline™s, The Comic Strip and Gotham Comedy Club in New York.
Wollack served as a sideline reporter on Comedy Central™s œBattlebots: Season 4 and used to have an alter-ego, Woody Wittman, the clueless host of œThe Hollywoody Show on Comedy.com. œWoody appeared on œThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno, hosted at HBO™s œThe Comedy Festival in Las Vegas and has amassed upwards of 3.5 million views as a regular feature on YouTube.
Wollacks passion for television began in high school. After only one semester of interning at San Francisco™s CBS affiliate, KPIX, the cocky 16 year-old figured he could make his own TV show. Hence, œEye On The Bay, a community-access (read: public-access) program that highlighted the people who make San Francisco. The program garnered local and international media attention “ yet, no viewers.
At USC, Wollack helped launch Trojan Vision, the university™s student-run TV station. It was there he created his persona “ œBig Red “ a comedic reporter who pestered the university™s athletes and administrative officials.
This led to a two-year stint on Fox Sports Net™s œUSC Sports Magazine program where he became the brunt of host Tom Kelly™s (raging alcoholic) jokes. That was until he backed his way into œStop Making Sense “ a pilot for FOX “ in the spring of 1999. Needless to say, the program was not picked up (that™s why you had never heard of him). However, he™s been able to procure development deals with companies such as the Emmy Award winning, Production Partners Inc. (œCurb Your Enthusiasm and œChris Rock: Bring the Pain). He has also developed series for Fox Television Studios, A. Smith & Co. “ including œThe King of Wall Street for CNBC starring investment guru, Jim Cramer (œMad Money) “ RJ Cutler, Warren Littlefield and the legendary, Norman Lear. Oh, and Brad™s a BLATANT name-dropper.
As a writerproducer, Wollack received a 2004 Emmy nomination for his work on the œWayne Brady Show. Additionally, he™s written and produced for: MTV™s œThe New Tom Green Show, and œParental Control; FOX™s œJingle Ball Rock; NBC™s œRadio Music Awards; Style™s, œFoody Call; the comedic œFrank™s Picks segment for the NFL on FOX Pre-Game Show “ for which he garnered his second Emmy nomination; and the 2005 E! Entertainment pilot, œThat™s So Hollywood “ a parody of entertainment magazine shows “ which could™ve been great, but wasn™t.
Over the past several years, Wollack served as the head writer and Supervising Producer for the Fox Sports Net™s comedy-sports talk show pilot, œRegular Joes, and was a writer-producer for the popular E! comedy series, œThe Chelsea Handler Show, as well as the Simon CowellA.
