Michael Koman
In 2008, Koman left "Late Night" with the approaching transition in NBC's late-night programming that would in the following year launch the short-lived and tumultuous "Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien." Koman, reluctant to relocate with the rest of the "Late Night" staff from New York City to Los Angeles, accepted the role of head writer for "Important Things with Demetri Martin". Martin was another alumnus of the "Late Night" writing staff, and Koman viewed the new role as an opportunity to challenge himself with greater responsibility and outside the familiar confines of Rockefeller Center. After a brief stint writing for "The Colbert Report" in August 2008, Koman began work on Martin's show. Among the writers soon hired there was Nathan Fielder, with whom Koman quickly formed another writing partnership.
