The New York Times has called David Steinberg one of the most original comedians in years, “a cross between Woody Allen and Lenny Bruce.” Second only to Bob Hope in appearances on Carson’s “The Tonight Show,” he began his comedy career with Second City and influenced the careers of John Belushi, Bill Murray, John Candy and others who followed him there. Steinberg capped a prolific career as a stand up comedian with four comedy albums and two Grammy nominations. He has also won two Emmys as a writer. Famous for being funny on both sides of the camera, he has directed many critically acclaimed shows, including “Friends”, “Newhart”, “Seinfeld”, “Mad About You”, Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” on HBO, and “Weeds” on Showtime. His work on “Seinfeld,” “Mad About You” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” earned him several DGA and Emmy awards and nominations. Among his many film credits are Paternity with Burt Reynolds, Going Berserk, with John Candy, and The Wrong Guy, with Dave Foley.
An accomplished director of over 300 commercials, David has also won virtually every award in advertising, including two Clio Awards and the prestigious Silver Lion Award at the Cannes International Film Festival. Most recently he directed several national commercials for the new Slim Fast campaign.
He is executive producer, creator, and host of “Sit Down Comedy with David Steinberg”, a one-on-one interview series shot live in front of a studio audience. The first season for TV Land included Larry David, Mike Myers, Martin Short, George Lopez, Bob Newhart and Jon Lovitz. The second season aired in 2007 with stars Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano, Garry Shandling, Robin Williams, Roseanne Barr, and Jon Stewart.
