Patrick Cotnoir
Patrick Cotnoir is from Enfield, CT but has lived in New York since 2010. He went to Pace University and majored in Film and Screen Studies. While in school, he worked at Saturday Night Live, Above Average, Sesame Street, CNBC and the UCB theater.
He is a member of the Producer's Guild of America. He was the talent producer on The Chris Gethard Show, which aired on Manhattan Neighborhood Network public access, Fusion, and truTV (they also shot a pilot for Comedy Central). It was produced by Funny or Die, Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis and Adam McKay.
He was the Talent Coordinator on Comedy Central's The President Show, has booked guests for a show on seriously.tv that seems to have been completely scrubbed from the internet, and was a Digital Producer at NBC's comedy streaming platform, Seeso. He booked stand-ups for the variety show, The Exhibition, at the PUBLIC Hotel hosted by Michael Cruz Kayne and Mary Beth Barone.
He was the producer and talent booker for ASSSSCAT 3000 at UCB from 2014 until the theater's closure in 2020. During his tenure, he booked guests like Mark Hamill, Alan Alda, Phoebe Robinson, Aubrey Plaza, Kevin Bacon, Paul Shaffer, Jessica Williams, Kyle Mooney, Cecily Strong, double EGOT winner Bobby Lopez and literally hundreds more. At the time of the theater's closing in 2020, he had produced over 500 ASSSSCAT shows.
He's been the producer of The George Lucas Talk Show, at UCB from 2015 - 2020, and, starting in 2020, streaming weekly on PlanetScum.Live. He was the warm up comic for the first show, it was his first public 'warm up experience' and he doesn't think he'll ever do it again.
He was the Editorial and Talent Producer over at Marvel Entertainment, helping to produce and book podcasts and videos for their social platforms, including livestreams at Comic Cons and film premieres. He also cast the first season of the upcoming Mo Willems HBOMax animated kids show, Unlimited Squirrels. He's currently the guest booker at the Exactly Right podcast network.

He loves when people write their own IMDB biographies.
He thought it would be funny to add himself to every talk show taping he's been to as "himself - audience member (uncredited)." It's probably not that funny.
