Patrick Cotnoir is an LA based producer, talent booker and casting director. He went to Pace University and majored in Film and Screen Studies. While in school, he worked at Saturday Night Live, Above Average, Sesame Street, CNBC and the UCB theater.
He is a member of the Producer's Guild of America. He was the talent producer on The Chris Gethard Show, which aired on Manhattan Neighborhood Network public access, Fusion, and truTV (they also shot a pilot for Comedy Central). It was produced by Funny or Die, Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis and Adam McKay.
He was the producer and talent booker for ASSSSCAT at the UCB theater from 2014 to 2026.

He produced and booked more than 840 shows there.
He's been the producer of The George Lucas Talk Show since 2015. He was the Editorial and Talent Producer over at Marvel Entertainment, helping to produce and book podcasts and videos for their social platforms, including livestreams at Comic Cons and film premieres. He also cast the first season of the upcoming Mo Willems HBOMax animated kids show, Unlimited Squirrels. He's currently the guest booker at the Exactly Right podcast network and the host of Hey, That's Me! A Commentary podcast.
He thought it would be funny to add himself to every talk show taping he's been to as "himself - audience member (uncredited)." It's probably not that funny.
