Robert Morgan Carlock[1] (born 1972/1973)[1] is an American screenwriter and producer. He has worked as a writer for several NBC television comedies, as a show runner for 30 Rock, and as a co-creator of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Early life

Carlock was born in Waltham, Massachusetts,[2] the son of Martha and Roger Carlock.[1] He graduated cum laude from Harvard University in 1995,[1][3] where he became president of the Fly Club, an all-male social club,[3] and an editor for the Harvard Lampoon.[4]

Career

Carlock began writing for the Dana Carvey Show in 1996.[5][6] Following that, he was a member of the writing staff of Saturday Night Live from 1996 to 2001, contributing to 99 episodes of the show.[7] One of his notable SNL sketches was NPR's Delicious Dish with Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon. In 2011, Ben and Jerry's released a new ice cream flavor based on the sketch written by Carlock and named it "Schweddy Balls".[8]

Carlock left SNL in 2001 to write for Friends in Los Angeles, working on the show until 2004 when he joined the staff of Friends spinoff Joey for two years.[7] Carlock then moved back to New York to work with his old SNL crew on an "Untitled Tina Fey Project" in 2006, which became 30 Rock, which he wrote for and produced.[7] His most recent project is Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which saw him team up with fellow 30 Rock-alum Tina Fey.

Carlock has won several awards for his work on 30 Rock, including Primetime Emmys, and Writer's Guild of America Awards, Producer's Guild of America Awards, as well as being named one of the top 50 power showrunners of 2011.[6]
