Me, the Person

KEVIN BLEYER is a television writer, book writer, speechwriter, ghostwriter, aspiring playwriter, occasional constitution rewriter, and sometime wrong-righter.

Most recently, Kevin was the head writer for the reboot of Doha Debates, starring comedian Mo Amer.

A veteran of late night, for the better part of a decade Bleyer was a writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, after a decade as a writer and producer for Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and Dennis Miller.  In scripted episodic television, he was a writer for Disney+’s The Right Stuff, FOX's Sleepy Hollow and Bravo's Significant Others, and he created and executive produced scripted pilots for Disney Television Animation, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and Showtime.

Bleyer is the bestselling author of Me the People: One Man's Selfless Quest to Rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America, the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Earth (The Book), and the co-author, with Gov. Bill Richardson, of How to Sweet-Talk a Shark.

He was a writer and producer for NBC News' Today Show and MSNBC's Ronan Farrow Daily, and he wrote and produced a pilot for CNN starring Kal Penn.  His weekly column in The Daily Beast appeared between 2013-2016, and he wrote a recurring column on the geopolitics of soccer for Foreign Policy during the FIFA World Cup.

As the co-founder of Pilot Media Initiatives, he has helped launch political satire and scripted television shows in countries nearby and far-flung, including Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Moldova, Macedonia, Jordan, Kenya, Moldova again, Jordan again, Moldova a few more times, and Miami.

In 2008, Bleyer became a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.  In 2014, he was a resident Fellow at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.

As a speechwriter, Bleyer contributed to many of the (funnier) speeches of President Barack Obama.  He has written for NASA astronauts, sitting senators, foreign diplomats, US Ambassadors, and even served for a time as the Deputy Chief Speechwriter for the Mayor of New York City.  Not that mayor.  The other one.

He has received four Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, a Writers Guild of America Award, and was an Audie Award finalist for narrating the audiobook of Me the People.

James Madison was a friend of mine.
Mr. Bleyer, you’re no James Madison.
But you sure are a heck of a lot more fun.

Bleyer has a boyish face that is at odds with his deep baritone. He is aggressively funny.
