Dan served as the lead development executive for the IFC cable channel, where he helped shepherd the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series Portlandia for the network. He has recently produced projects for Adult Swim and Amazon and is currently producing and hosting the award-nominated Obsessive Comedy Disorder audio documentaries for Sirius XM. He is also a professor teaching courses to third-year graduate students at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Dan has been collecting autographed comedy records for most of his life.
