As co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show and co-founder of Air America
Radio, Lizz Winstead has helped changed the very landscape of how people get their news.
Winstead also brought her political wit to The Daily Show as a correspondent and later to
the radio waves co-hosting Unfiltered, Air America Radio’s mid-morning show, with Chuck
D and Rachel Maddow.
Lizz continues doing stand-up, but spends most of her time at the helm of Abortion Access
Front (formerly Lady Parts Justice League), a NYC- based reproductive rights organization
that she founded in 2015, which uses humor and outrage to expose anti-choice hypocrisy
and mobilizes people to take action in all 50 states.
Known as one of the top political satirists in America, Winstead has been recognized by all
the major media outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, O Magazine,
Newsweek, Forbes, Now This, and as Entertainment Weekly’s 100 Most Creative People.
Winstead’s first book, Lizz Free Or Die: Essays, was released in 2012 to incredible reviews,
with Ms. Magazine saying, “Lizz Winstead is a sharp-witted truth-teller, and Lizz Free or Die
will inspire anyone who has ever talked back to the television or wished they could come up
with satire as insightful as The Daily Show.”
