I'm an executive producer and writer for "Key & Peele," a sketch show on Comedy Central. I've created various TV shows, written screenplays, gardened for Richard Nixon, and was once arrested for confronting Jeb Bush about Florida's death penalty program. I've also written comic pieces for "The New Yorker" and "Rolling Stone." Channel Blue is my first novel.

I'm definitely a fan, though as Don Draper has crawled through the cigarette ashes and empty booze bottles to his final season, it's become harder to not think of the show as a nicely made soap opera. It's a harsh commentary, perhaps, because the writing on the show Read more of this blog post »

“citizens of the United States preferred leaders who received advice from an invisible being whose existence was, by its very nature, impossible to prove.”
Jay Martel, Channel Blue

“Many held crudely made signs that read: ‘We Love You Buddy’, ‘Save Us’ and ‘No one Gets the Cupcake’.”
Jay Martel, Channel Blue
