Josh Lieb is a very, very nice man who writes books and TV and movies. He was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, and he is a fan of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks, which makes him a stronger and deeper and more interesting soul than most people. It makes him a poet. As a teenager, he spent his summers working at grocery stores in Omaha, Nebraska, where he has family. He went to Harvard for college, and was a pretty lousy student, but he joined the Lampoon, which is the famous humor magazine there, and made a lot of friends. Then he went into TV writing because it looked easy and lucrative. He was sort of right. Mr. Lieb has served as an Executive Producer or Co-Executive Producer on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, NewsRadio, and The Simpsons. Some of his movie scripts have gotten turned into not-so-great movies but you shouldn't blame him for that. You should buy the movies! They aren't as bad as they look. His debut novel, "I Am A Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President" made it to the New York Times bestseller list. It is a great book. A great, great book. It is probably the best book. It was written for a Young Adult audience, but is meant to be read by adults as well. He's writing the sequel right now. He is married and has some kids and some dogs and a cat and a turtle.
