Michael Patrick King - From 'Sex and the City' to 'The Comeback' photo
After starting as a stand-up comedian and scriptwriter for shows such as Murphy Brown and Will & Grace, Michael Patrick King gained prominence as one of the driving forces behind the cultural touchpoint Sex and the City, its films and the much anticipated follow up series And Just Like That... 

Following this success, he worked closely with Lisa Kudrow to create the highly-acclaimed HBO series The Comeback, which takes a satirical and insider look at the television industry itself 

Join him on the launch of the third season of The Comeback for a look at what goes into creating characters and shows that continue to resonate, and what it means to be a showrunner in today’s media world.
