Eugene Mirman

Who or what is Eugene Mirman? In 1978, at the age of four, Eugene Mirman emigrated from Russia to seek a better life in America. It fucking worked — now, Eugene is a New York City based comedian, writer, actor and filmmaker. Thanks to television, touring and the Internet, he has become mildly famous. If you Google “Eugene,� he is ranked 4th — behind the city in Oregon, their arts weekly, and some other newspaper there. However, he is the number one ranked human “Eugene� on Google. Nice!

He has appeared on several TV shows including Late Night With Conan O’Brien, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, Carson Daly, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Home Movies, Third Watch, plus many forgotten or irrelevant shows and channels — Food Network, NBC’s Late Friday, Showtime, Jump Cuts, CNNfn, VH1, ESPN Classics, TBS, TRIO, etc.

Depending which blog you read, Eugene is described as either a genius or a shithead. His interests include seafood, backgammon, kissing and whiskey.

Esquire magazine described Eugene as “Equal parts Andy Kaufman and Andy Warhol.� That’s very nice of them. Spin Magazine gave En Garde, Soceity! four stars. Still, some people on YouTube think he’s a “fag� and must be destroyed. Oh well. That’s life.
