Liam Nowakowski is a writer & producer for television, film, digital, and gaming.
Liam Nowakowski is a Lawn Guylander now living in Los Angeles after earning his BFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU Tisch, focusing in film & television writing. After perfecting his uber-critical administration skills as an assistant, he became a producer for the relaunch of G4 where he was a writer and producer for the variety show Boosted and game show ARENA — the highest rated program on the G4 linear network. In 2022, G4 was called by Variety, “the least-watched network of every network that Nielsen measures.” An incredible honor. After G4 collapsed, he did the only thing an unemployed person can do — start taking improv classes and pick up bartending.
His quarter-finalist award-winning writing focuses on critiquing the suburban middle class in satirical, darkly comedic, and stupid ways.
