Full Bio
Carlock began writing for the Dana Carvey Show in 1996. Following that, he was a member of the writing staff of Saturday Night Live from 1996 to 2001, contributing to 99 episodes of the show. One of his notable SNL sketches was NPR’s Delicious Dish with Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon. In 2011, Ben and Jerry’s released a new ice cream flavor based on the sketch written by Carlock and named it “Schweddy Balls”.
Carlock left SNL in 2001 to write for Friends in Los Angeles, working on the show until 2004 when he joined the staff of Friends spinoff Joey for two years. Carlock then moved back to New York to work with his old SNL crew on an “Untitled Tina Fey Project” in 2006, which became 30 Rock, which he wrote for and produced. A recent project is the sitcom Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, debuting in 2015, which saw him team up with fellow 30 Rock-alum Tina Fey. He also wrote the screenplay for Fey’s film Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016).
Carlock has won several awards for his work on 30 Rock, including Primetime Emmys, and Writer’s Guild of America Awards, Producer’s Guild of America Awards, as well as being named one of the top 50 power showrunners of 2011.
In addition to winning three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, Carlock has been nominated for the Emmy’s individual writing award three times. He has won multiple Producers’ Guild and Writers’ Guild Awards as well as recognition from the American Film Institute. His work on 30 Rock also garnered Carlock a Peabody Award, a Television Critics Association Award, a GLAAD Award, a Gold Plaque from the Hugo Television Awards, a Golden Nymph from the Monaco Film and Television Festival, a Bravo A-List Award, some award that’s shaped like a Calder stabile, a Comedy Central Comedy Award, and a Golden Globe.
