Bryan Safi
Emmy-Winning Comedy Writer & Host of "That's Gay"
Bryan Safi is an Emmy Award-winning writer and performer at Current TV for the half-hour comedy show infoMania. He is the writer and host of "That's Gay," a segment that looks at gay issues and stereotypes and how they're portrayed by the (often) clueless media. Safi and the segment were included in Out Magazine's "Out 100" – their collection of the 100 gay men, women, and transgender people who made 2009 a year to remember – and "That's Gay" was also a 2010 Webby honoree.
The segment is also regularly featured on the front pages of The Huffington Post, Andrew Sullivan, Ted Casablanca's "The Awful Truth" on E!, and Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch. Before infoMania, Bryan was a staff writer at The Ellen DeGeneres Show, for which he won an Emmy Award. Prior to that, he worked in the land of the dude-bros as a staff writer for the comedy website "Funny or Die," creating web series for Will Ferrell, Jack McBrayer, and Richard Jenkins. He's also a blogger for The Huffington Post and regularly performs at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles.
