From the time of the Golden Globe® and Emmy®-winning Sex and the City's early production, Michael Patrick King has been a leading creative contributor and key to the show's growing success. For the last three seasons he has been the show's chief Executive Producer. For his individual work as a writer on the series he has been nominated for three Emmys and two Writers Guild Awards. He has also been nominated twice for the best director Emmy and won it last season for his work on "The Real Me" an episode that also garnered him a Directors Guild nomination. He also received a Directors Guild nomination for "Plus One is the Loneliest Number."
King has revealed in past interviews some of the ingredients that are important to the show's continued success. "It's about what sex does to people, in terms of exposing their insecurities... the selling piece of the show, is that you're maybe going to see something about sex... the sex on the show is either in pursuit of a comic or romantic result," says King.
As a writer and director of the third seasons premiere episode "Where There is Smoke," King started things off with sizzling dialogue and masterful storytelling. He also closed the season by writing the poignant and hilarious "Cock a Doodle Do." Some other memorable episodes written by King include: the emotionally charged "Running With Scissors", where Carrie has an unfortunate meeting with Natasha, the outrageous funky spunk episode "Easy Come, Easy Go", and the enormously popular and emotional "I Heart NY" in which Mr. Big moves away from New York.
From the second season to date, King has written all the season premieres and finales including his Emmy®-nominated season finale "Ex and the City," which he also directed. All have King's signature heartfelt and comedic touches.
In the 1980's King came to New York as an aspiring actor. He began doing standup comedy and writing plays. He eventually moved to Los Angeles where he wrote, and was Emmy®-nominated multiple times for his work on Murphy Brown.
The prolific King has also served as consulting producer for another current hit show Will and Grace, and continues to add his comic flair to that Emmy®-winning show. And there is still the performer side to King. If one is careful not to blink, King can be seen playing a bit part of the HBO publicist in Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm.
