About Robin
Robin began her real professional career on Madison Avenue as a copywriter at a major advertising agency. Her years there led to an apprenticeship in producing radio and television commercials, as well as music production.
She eventually moved on to Comedy Central, where she wrote and produced hundreds of on-air promos and honed her skills in an editing room. It was there that she met Nick Bakay, who was writing and appearing on numerous Comedy Central shows.
Together, they moved to Los Angeles where Robin wrote on more award shows than she cares to remember including The MTV Movie Awards and The People's Choice Awards. Comedy Central employed her to interview celebrities on air, which she also did for The Sundance Network.
While in Los Angeles, she continued to write and produce numerous specials for Comedy Central, including six sports comedy shows starring Nick called Off Sides, and Baseballapalooza, all shot on location at various football camps and pre season baseball games.
One day, she took a stab at writing a Tale of The Tape piece for Nick that eventually became known as Babe Ruth vs. Baby Ruth, and thus began her ghostwriting career. It wasn't long before two other high profile clients employed her to write jokes and banter for public appearances on late night talk shows, concert stages, White House Dinners, and porn convention wrap parties. She continues writing for them and is a consultant for strategy, risk assessment and damage control, a necessity when performing at porn convention wrap parties.
Robin continued regularly writing Tales of The Tapes, with and for Nick, as evidenced in their upcoming book, Nick Bakay's Tale of The Tape, being released by Hyperion in May 2004. She has also written articles for Spin Magazine, ESPN The Magazine, ESPNMag.com, and the National Lampoon. She will be a regular Fashion Police panelist on ESPN.com's Page3 beginning February 2004.
Robin writes with Nick a lot. They wrote the first 25 episodes of ESPN's Reel Classics, as well as a feature film, a romantic comedy called The Little Lord which they recently sold to Columbia Pictures.
She began appearing with Nick during football season on a weekly segment on ESPN's Sportscenter in 2003, andfingers crossedwill continue again next NFL season.
Robin was born in Levittown, New York on a balmy spring Thursday in early June. When not writing, Robin enjoys... uh, oh who are we kidding, the writing never stops. She lives in West Hollywood with Charlie the She-Dog, two young felines, Cleo and Salem, and the world's coolest husband.
