Mark McColey, Copywriter

I spent two years living in Singapore as a kid.

But that just made me treat American chain restaurants like embassies.

NBC Page might be the most surreal job I’ll ever have.

My fifteen milliseconds of fame can be seen in a 'Laser Cats' SNL Digital Short.

I played rec league football and studied improv comedy while living in Los Angeles.

At one point I was on an all-improvisor beach flag football team called Yes, Sand.

Once, I lost a bet and had to re-take the SATs while hungover.

It’s sad that I scored slightly better, because I really cared in high school.

I pursued copywriting after a career in television development.

Apparently I’m dead set on tying my livelihood to being creative.

NBC Page

Years ago, my brother told me that only one out of every ten of my jokes were funny, but that one joke was usually good enough to excuse the other nine.
