Cindy Chupack, comedy writer, who has won two Golden Globes and the same amount of Emmy’s and who has written for such shows as “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Modern Family,” and Sex and the City,” tells Host Glass where and how she gets her inspiration for writing her material. The warm and witty Chupack, who has also written a film for Netflix, “Otherhood,” starring Angela Bassett, Patricia Arquette and Felicity Huffman, and The New York Times bestseller, “The Between Boyfriends Book,” talks openly about her two divorces, her daughter, who inspired Chupack’s book, “We Waited for You: Now We’re a Family,” and how she has managed to translate adversity into humor.
Chupack holds nothing back while she shares her philosophies, her life’s journey and life’s disappointments.

Cindy Chupack
A prolific storyteller across many mediums, CINDY CHUPACK has won two Emmys and three Golden Globes for her work as a writer/producer of shows including Sex and the City, Modern Family, Everybody Loves Raymond, Better Things, Divorce, and most recently Fleishman is in Trouble. She made her feature directing debut in 2018 with her film OTHERHOOD (starring Angela Bassett, Patricia Arquette and Felicity Huffman), which is available on Netflix.
She has performed stories for The Moth; written essays featured in the New York Times’ Modern Love column; guested on NPR’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!”; had her own relationship column in both Glamour and O, The Oprah Magazine; and authored two comic memoirs: the NYT bestseller “The Between Boyfriends Book: A Collection of Cautiously Hopeful Essays,” and “The Longest Date: Life as a Wife.” Her first children’s picture book, “We Waited for You,” was just released on July 11, 2023.
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Cindy received a degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, then moved to New York City to work in advertising right out of college. She sold her first humorous essay to New York Woman magazine in 1990, and that piece was spotted by a TV producer who encouraged her to pursue comedy writing, which she’s been doing ever since.
A co-leader of The Los Angeles Giving Circle (which supports The States Project in its effort to elect majority-making candidates who will shift the balance of power in state legislatures across the country), Cindy lives in Marina del Rey, California, with her 12-year-old daughter, Olivia. She is also working with Northwestern University Archives to house her life’s work (which has been very validating to her mother who saved everything she ever wrote).
