Veteran writer Matt Koff, known for his work on The Daily Show, is launching his second comedy special, "Cat Man," on March 10 via Veeps. Koff, a regular at the Comedy Cellar, uses the special to explore themes of divorce, middle age, and his observations about societal biases against men who own cats. He humorously notes his own discomfort with the stereotype.
The production, filmed at the Comedy Cellar, features contributions from several of his Daily Show colleagues, including director David Paul Meyer and lighting director George Countas. A significant moment in the special is an appearance by Daily Show host Jon Stewart. This project offers a comedic break for Koff from his focus on Donald Trump as a subject for his Daily Show material.
Koff has a 23-year career in entertainment, with 13 years dedicated to The Daily Show, where he earned a 2015 Emmy win and eight WGA Award nominations. His debut album, "Who's My Little Guy?," is available on 800 Pound Gorilla Records. He has also appeared on Comedy Central and written for The Onion and The White House Correspondents' Dinner.
