Steven Shehori is a TV comedy writer, a three-time Gemini Award loser (Canada's Emmys) and a two-time Canadian Comedy Award winner. He’s actually been nominated for eleven Canadian Comedy Awards, so he’s happy he finally won a couple, dammit.

He's a senior writer and occasional editor for the Huffington Post, specializing in comedy pieces, celebrity interviews and a wee bit of investigative journalism.

After seven years as a senior news, political and comedy writer for Naked News, Steven more recently served as a senior comedy writer for The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos (Canada's late-night talk show), This Hour Has 22 Minutes (Canada's SNL/Daily Show), some sitcoms you haven't heard of and eight national award shows.

Recent TV appearances as an actor, stand-up comic & pundit include MuchMusic's Video on Trial and Stars Gone Wild, MuchMoreMusic's Listed, and the Comedy Network's Punched Up.  On radio, he contributes to CBC’s Definitely Not The Opera (Canada’s spin on NPR’s This American Life).

Along with his brother Daniel, he's the creator/producer of the Second City Toronto’s Shehori Brothers’ Character Night – the longest running show in the organization's history.  To date, the brothers have produced over 300 live comedy shows, including An Awkward Evening with Martin & Johnson, which featured the creators of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical The Drowsy Chaperone.

Not to toot his own horn, but this recent quote from slickrick_68 speaks volumes about Steven: “Great eBayer! Lightning fast payment! Would recommend! A+++++++++”

Yes, you read right. That's NINE plusses.
