Carol Leifer humbly describes herself as “someone who loves making people laugh.”  Her list of writing credits is long and impressive from Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show, Saturday Night Live, Modern Family, Curb Your Enthusiasm and dozens more shows.  Nominated for an Emmy six times, she won in 2024 for Best Comedy Series, Hacks.  She has written for the Oscars 10 times – the most for any female writer – and holds the record for the most appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman.  A comedy icon, Carol was dubbed “the real Elaine” because the Seinfeld character Elaine Benes was partially based on her.  She is a best-selling author, most recently of How to Write a Funny Speech.

Deeply committed to the Jewish community and her own Jewish upbringing on Long Island, Carol is a Lion of Judah and has spoken and performed for Jewish groups around the country.  For more on Carol, visit www.carolleifer.com.
