Mark most recently wrote on ~5 seasons of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, where he picked up 4 Emmys, 2 WGA awards, a Peabody, and an inescapable awareness of all the ways society might kill him. He also overshared about growing up Filipino American on Staten Island in My Life, Growing Up Asian in America (2022), a compilation of essays published by MTV Books.

Mark’s half-hour comedy ISO BALL was a NYTVF Official Script selection. He was one of a handful of writers selected for the NBC Late Night Writers Workshop and NBC Scene Showcase, and briefly worked as a writer’s assistant at WWE. Mark has written regularly for Vulture, and has contributed to Slant’d, Funny or Die, Above Average, The Kicker, FLEXX, Weekly Humorist, and Write Label. After studying sketch at UCB, he put up monthly sketch shows for several years at the PIT as a writer for Boogiemanja.

In a past life he passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam, then never sent in his certification paperwork. Please hire him to write for your show. He’s pretty sure he lost that paperwork.
