Celebrity Watch: Brian Henderson

My brother Brian is a very talented writer and we're all waiting for a big, super influential producer or whoever to realize it and hire him to write for them full-time. He's had short stints writing for a couple different shows and has submitted a lot of pieces to various shows. Personally, I think he'd be a great asset to SNL or Conan O'Brien. He showed me a bunch of skits he was submitting to SNL and they were hilarious. I can't believe they haven't snatched him up yet. The fools.

Mystery surrounds my brother's work, as he doesn't reveal much about it to me or our sister. It's surely not because of a need for secrecy, because he does seem to tell Dad about some of his projects, but it's like pulling teeth for me to get anything out of him.

For example, I recently found out from my dad that my brother is a writer on the Discovery Channel show "Cash Cab".
Why do I never hear about his work from Brian himself?

I set our DVR to tape the show. After about 15 tries I was able to take a picture of his name in the credits. Here's the really cool thing: apparently he had never even heard of the show until they contacted him and they had tracked him down because of his work on "Before They Were Rock Stars" on VH1 back in 1999.
My brother is totally famous and I'm so proud!
[brag, brag, brag]

That is totally awesome. Yes, your brother has the drive, talent and passion to make it BIG in the biz. Cash Cab is a great show too!

And they are called "sketches" not "skits". I am sure if Brian kept in touch he would correct you too :)

Famous indeed! I have been telling him that for years. Too bad he won't believe it. I am very proud of him, though. Every time I hear of a new writing job I brag about him at work. He has a fan base in North Carolina for sure. One day soon he'll make it big, and we can claim to be famous by relation.

Zoe could make it big, as well, Melanie, for her paper chewing skills. Maybe Brian could write her in to his new sitcom.
