Greg Behrendt is starting off 2009 busier than ever. "Greg Behrendt's Wake-up Call," a show that taps into Behrendt's no-nonsense approach to relationships, premiered January 8th on SoapNet. "He's Just Not That IntoYou," the movie, opened in theaters nationwide February 6th and was the number one movie grossing over 27 million dollars. Behrendt's second comedy DVD. "That Guy from That Thing," will be released this spring by Image Entertainment. And of course, Greg will be hitting the road with the "Greg Behrendt's Totally Into You Comedy Tour."
Greg Behrendt is the co-author of the two-million-copy bestseller, "He's Just Not That Into You" and established himself as a voice of reason and inspiration for all of us negotiating, and sometimes drowning in, the treacherous waters of romantic relationships. Co-authored with "Sex and the City" story editor, Liz Tuccillo, the book became the publishing phenomenon of the year after its release in September 2004. The book shot to the #1 slot on the bestseller lists worldwide, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Oprah Winfrey devoted two shows to Behrendt and the book's simple, but powerful message. Behrendt also made numerous television appearances including NBC's "Today Show," "20/20" and "Larry King Live" on CNN. After a fierce bidding war, New Line Cinema acquired the film rights to "He's Just Not That Into You." The film's cast included Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson and Ben Affleck.
Behrendt hosted the self-titled "The Greg Behrendt Show" for Sony Pictures Television premiered in September 2006. The show featured Behrendt's signature humor and advice when it comes to all kinds of relationships -- including those with family, friends, romantic partners and relationships in the workplace.
In 2005, Behrendt, with his wife and co-author Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt, released a follow-up relationship book through Broadway Books/Random House. Offering straight talk, tough love and hilarious (yet useful) tips on how to survive and get over break-ups, the book, titled "It's Called a Break-Up Because It's Broken," immediately jumped to the top of the book charts including the Wall Street Journal, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and The New York Times. They are currently working on their next book.
In November 2005, Warner Bros. released his debut stand up comedy DVD, "Greg Behrendt Is Uncool," which is the follow-up to his comedy CD entitled, "UNCOOL." In "UNCOOL" Behrendt brings his deepest, darkest fears of becoming a no-longer-relevant Gen-Xer to the surface, deconstructs the notion of "cool" and offers in its place a new definition for adulthood. In his 2009 follow-up DVD, " That Guy From That Thing," Greg alternates between befuddlement and anger bringing his everyman point of view to the ridiculousness of life and his takes on love, sex, relationships, snack crackers and elephants.
Behrendt was a consultant for three consecutive seasons on HBO's "Sex and the City" in which he brought his original male point-of-view to the writing staff. His acclaimed stand-up comedy has been seen on HBO, "The Tonight Show," "Late Show with David Letterman," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and Comedy Central. He was named by Variety in 2001 as one of the "10 Comics to Watch." In April 2006, he was honored by Cosmopolitan magazine as one of the twelve "Fun, Fearless Males" along with Patrick Dempsey and Nick Lachey.
Behrendt currently lives in LA with his wife/writing and producing partner Amiira and their two daughters.
