In 1998, he began contributing humor to The New Yorker‘s “Shouts and Murmurs” and “Talk of the Town” departments, and in 2001, he created “The Borowitz Report,” a satirical news column, which has millions of readers around the world. In 2012, The New Yorker began publishing “The Borowitz Report.” As a storyteller, he hosted “Stories at the Moth” from 1999 to 2009.

His new book, Profiles in Ignorance: How America’s Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber, received a starred review from Kirkus, which called it “devastatingly funny.” He is the first-ever winner of the National Press Club’s humor award.
