Biography
Steve Mazan is an American stand-up comedian, television writer, and author known for his "clean and clever comedy" style. Born May 22, 1970, he won an Emmy Award for his writing contributions to The Ellen DeGeneres Show and performed on The Late Show with David Letterman. In 2005, Mazan received a diagnosis of inoperable metastatic neuroendocrine cancer and was told he might have only five years to live. Rather than retreat, he committed those remaining years to chasing his dream of performing on Letterman's show—a goal he ultimately achieved. His struggle became the subject of the feature-length documentary Dying to do Letterman, which the International Documentary Association selected to qualify for Academy Award consideration. The film's success led HCI Books to contract him to write an autobiography, also titled Dying to do Letterman: Turning Someday Into Today, chronicling how he transformed a terminal prognosis into personal triumph. Mazan has also delivered a TEDx speech detailing his cancer battle and pursuit of his dreams. Donald Liebenson of The Huffington Post described Mazan's appearance on Letterman as "one of the most triumphant moments during Dave's 33-year tenure". As a screenwriter, Mazan blends his comedy and storytelling skills across television and autobiographical work. Born under the sign of Gemini, with a Life Path number of 8, Mazan embodies the determination and communicative drive associated with both.
