Steve Hely has won the 2010 Thurber Prize for American Humor for his novel How I Became a Famous Novelist.

Steve has previously written for ’30 Rock’ and ‘The Late Show With David Letterman.’ Steve joined ‘The Office’ writing staff this season.
Congratulations to Steve on the Thurber honor, and welcome to The Office! :)
Wow – Congrats! I enjoyed this book, and especially enjoyed an earlier book he did with a friend about their experience of “racing around the world” on a bet(The Ridiculous Race). I didn’t know he was writing for The Office — that’s great news, he’s a really talented and funny writer.
I absolutely loved this book, and I am thrilled he has joined the writing staff of TO. Congratulations on the much deserved win!
