Michael Herbert[1] Schur is an Emmy-nominated television producer and writer. He wrote for six seasons on NBC's Saturday Night Live until 2004. Soon after, he became producer and writer for The Office on NBC, for which he has written ten episodes so far. He is a graduate of William H. Hall High School in West Hartford, Connecticut and of Harvard University (class of 1997) where he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and was a member of the Harvard Lampoon. He is married to Jennifer Philbin, who was formerly a writer on The O.C. and is Regis Philbin's daughter. They recently had their first child, son William Xavier Schur. His middle name, Xavier, is in honor of Regis Philbin's confirmation name. Schur appeared on The Office as Dwight's cousin Mose in the episodes "Initiation," in which Dwight takes Ryan to his beet farm, "Money," in which Jim and Pam spend a night at the farm, and "The Deposition", in which he plays a game of high-intensity ping pong with Dwight. He also co-wrote The Office: The Accountants webisodes with Paul Lieberstein.
Michael also wrote for "Fire Joe Morgan", a sports journalism blog, under the pseudonym "Ken Tremendous."[2] "Ken Tremendous" continues to claim to be a claims processor for a fictional Partridge, Kansas-based business, "Fremulon Insurance".
In April 2008 it was reported that Schur would run a new series entitled Parks and Recreation along with The Office creator Greg Daniels.[3]
