Alan Zweibel start­ed his com­e­dy career sell­ing jokes for sev­en dol­lars apiece to the last of the Borscht Belt standups. Then one night, despite bomb­ing on stage, he caught the atten­tion of Lorne Michaels and became one of the first writ­ers at Sat­ur­day Night Live, where he penned clas­sic mate­r­i­al for Gil­da Rad­ner, John Belushi and all of the orig­i­nal ​“Not Ready For Prime Time Play­ers.” From SNL, he went on to have a hand in a series of land­mark shows — from It’s Gar­ry Shandling’s Show to Curb Your Enthu­si­asm.
