WORK
Whether it’s a sitcom, an animated series or a live event, Ryan’s writing joins together humor, high energy, and heart to create storytelling with big laughs and unforgettable moments.
After the successful run of Modern Family, Ryan signed an exclusive overall deal with CBS Television to develop, write, and produce I.P.-based and original series for the studio.
This allowed Ryan to pitch to major production companies, studios, networks, and streaming services, both domestic and international, selling a show every year of his deal.
CBS STUDIOS
As a co-executive producer of the series Ryan helped write and produce this irreverant, hard funny remake of the beloved British series Friday Night Dinner.
Our U.S.-based writers room worked in conjunction with the British production house Big Talk to implement an international production model in order to bring this hilarious series to life for Amazon Freevee.
DINNER WITH THE PARENTS
Ryan worked as a writer and producer on the Emmy®-award winning sitcom for five seasons helping to create some of TV’s most memorable moments.
For over a hundred episodes his work included pitching and developing in-depth storylines and seasonal arcs. In the execution of writing and producing his own episodes, he was responsible for casting, collaborating with production department heads, directors, and talent, as well as editing the episodes to meet airdate deadlines.

Scripps National spelling bee
Ryan had the honor of being one of the head writers for the National Spelling Bee. Any time a contestant would ask, “Could I have that in a sentence?” the head pronouncer would offer up a funny sentence written by Ryan. In conjunction with the broadcast on ESPN, Ryan was charged with writing material live for competition.
