★ FEATURE
Biography
Chad Kultgen publishes novels that divide readers sharply. Born June 16, 1976, in the US, he works as a novelist, journalist, and podcaster. His writing attracted early controversy: critics flagged male characters as misogynistic and trite, and a 2011 New York Times piece documented people who believed they'd been fictionalized in his work. Kultgen acknowledged the split response in interviews, noting he received both praise and vicious hate mail calling him "the worst living writer".
His 2011 novel Men, Women, and Children was adapted into a feature film in 2014, directed by Jon Hamm and starring Adam Sandler, Emma Thompson, Ansel Elgort, and Jennifer Garner. The film underperformed critically and commercially, earning only $2.2 million at the box office. In 2024, Kultgen and comedian Will Sasso faced a lawsuit from the estate of George Carlin after posting a comedy special to YouTube labeled as written by a "comedy AI" called Dudesy, allegedly trained on Carlin's material. A spokesperson clarified the special was actually written by Kultgen, not AI.
As a screenwriter and journalist, Kultgen works across multiple narrative formats—novels, film adaptation, podcasting, and comedy. His Gemini sun sign aligns with his communicative bent: he co-hosts a podcast called The Necessary Conversation with his sister Haley Popp, mother Mary Lou, and father Bob Kultgen on YouTube, and published the nonfiction book How to Win the Bachelor with podcasting co-host Lizzy Pace. His life-path number 9 suggests a pattern of transformation through controversy and artistic reinvention.
