I'm an editor and frequent contributor to the Men's Health website. I've focused on assigning and curating essays that explore every facet of a man’s life, from aging to fatherhood, losing our parents to losing our best friends, brushes with death to sexual anxiety. Drawing on contributors from other mediums—The Colbert Report, “This American Life”—I’ve even introduced more humor to the site, taking a unique (and yet still informative) take on a wide range of subjects like plane travel, heroism, Ebola panic, yoga, jail time, and micropenises.

In addition to several months served as the Believer's Interviews Editor, I co-created and continue to edit the monthly advice column, Sedaratives (originally written by Amy Sedaris), which features questionable life advice from people like Sarah Silverman, Zach Galifianakis, Janeane Garofalo, David Wain, Bob Odenkirk, and dozens more.I've also done interviews, including very long conversations with Harold Ramis, George Meyer, David and Amy Sedaris, and the ghost of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I've interviewed comedians, hot ladies, and occasionally hot lady comedians. Some of my favorites include Tina Fey (www.playboy.com/magazine/interview_archive/tina-fey/tina-fey.html), Steve Carell (www.playboy.com/magazine/interview_archive/steve-carell/steve-carell.html, Chelsea Handler (www.playboy.com/magazine/20q_archive/chelsea-handler.html), Bob Saget (www.playboy.com/magazine/20q_archive/bob-saget.html), Will Arnett (www.playboy.com/magazine/20q_archive/will-arnett.html), Paul Rudd (www.playboy.com/magazine/20q_archive/paul-rudd.html), and Tenacious D (www.playboy.com/magazine/20q_archive/tenacious-d.html).

I write a weekly website column (featured on VanityFair.com every Thursday) called Awkward Question Time, in which I talk to (and occasionally annoy) people like John Cusack, Sir Ian McKellen, Merle Haggard and Isabella Rossellini.
