Comedy writer Kristin Newman spent almost 10 years writing on very well known comedies, including having her own pilot shot and picked up to series (though not aired). She now brings her talents to a one-hour drama, on NBC's Chuck. Kristin Newman got an early break, with a production staff job on 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' She graduated to writer's assistant on 'Nikita,' 'Mad About You,' and 'That 70's Show.' She ended up stuck in the 70's (in a good way!) for the next 7 years, rising up from staff writer to supervising producer. Moving on to 'How I Met Your Mother' as co-executive producer, she also landed an overall deal at Fox? which was unfortunately cut short when the writers strike happened. Because of an injury, Kristin was not able to walk the picket lines. What could she do? She wrote the pilot 'Single with Parents,' which was shot with Alyssa Milano and Beau Bridges, and picked up to series? though it unfortunately never aired. Then came NBC's 'Chuck!' She entered the staff as co-executive producer in its fourth season, and is currently breaking the series finale. Make sure to watch the final season, when Chuck returns on Friday, October 28th!
