Comedy On Tap

 

Hause & Hines
...has written professionally (in a very amateur fashion) at film studios like Warner Brothers, Disney, Universal, Columbia, and Interscope; and for producers such as Ivan Reitman, Samuel Goldwyn Jr. and Ray Stark. These film projects were written in collaboration with David Hines [Jeff (left) and Dave (less left) are pictured at right].

His latest project is the screenplay Exorcist Squad, written with Dave, which is to star Charles Murphy (Chapelle's Show) and Wayne Brady, and is being produced by David M. Goodman and Bill Fishman. Coming soon to Region 1 DVD, after a triumphant three-week, five-theater run in the greater Chicago area, BachelorMan, written and co-produced with Dave and Rodney Lee Conover. BachelorMan has won over 20 film festival awards, so f-you, greater Chicago area AMC theaters.

Jeff has also written for comics and entertainers such as Jim Carrey, Rodney Dangerfield, Gabe Kaplan, Rush Limbaugh (sorry), Rick Dees, and Jay Leno [The first joke Jeff ever sold to Leno].

Jeff is also co-owner (with Rodney Lee Conover) of Comedy On Tap?, which features a newsletter that provides topical humor to 500,000 outraged, offended subscribers every weekday.

He also is partnered with Conover and film producer Rich Hull (She's All That) in SportsHollywood.com?, a new site where celebrities in film, TV and athletics give their views on sports and entertainment. Its bi-weekly newsletter reaches over 400,000 readers.

Oh yeah -- Jeff has also worked as a cartoonist and illustrator, [See a review of Jeff's cartoon work by cartoonist R. Crumb].

Or see Jeff's great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather, Johan Christian Haus, a Palatine refugee who came to America in 1710.

Jeff is getting married to Lori Ann Dotson in March of 2007. Her writing actually gets published.
