Mike Spence once lost a Daytime Emmy to Laverne Cox, but he barely holds it against her.
He has written for television shows such as Billy on the Street (truTV) and Hack My Life (truTV), and online for The Onion and Cracked, among others. Mike recently wrote, produced and edited the webseries Couples in Crisis, in which he played an awful marriage counselor. On the weekdays he is a story producer for reality shows including Beat Bobby Flay, Mob Wives, Food Network Star, and the aforementioned Emmy-Nominated Thanksgiving At Bobby’s.
Mike is also a writer/performer in the sketch and improv group Gentlemen Party, which headlined the 2015 National College Comedy Festival alongside Tig Notaro. They also performed the first ever sketch show inside NYC’s Museum of Modern Art, which Time Out New York called “intensely funny surrealist comedy."
Mike holds a BFA in Film & Television and a BA in Cinema Studies (they had a “buy one, study one for free” deal) from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
