Ben Schwartz is a staff writer for the third season of Adult Swim's ROBOT CHICKEN as well as a freelance writer for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, the LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN and various other hilarious places. He has a website devoted to the jokes that didn't make it on air - REJECTEDJOKES.COM.
He has studied and performed at the UCBT since 2003 and has performed on the Harold Teams T.R.U.C.K.S., Killebrew and Renegade 77. He can be seen performing along side Adam Pally and Gil Ozeri in their sketch/improv team HOT SAUCE, the team which TimeOutNY said "likely has a future in late night." Both their current show Hot Sauce Sells Out and their previous show 4th Floor Walk-Up were TimeOut NY Critic's Picks. As an improv team Hot Sauce won the 2006 Cagematch Championships.
