A. Whitney Brown

Alan Whitney Brown (born July 8 1952) is an Emmy Award-winning writer and comedian probably best known for his recurring appearances on "Saturday Night Live" in the 1980s in a Weekend Update segment called "The Big Picture". He was one of the original correspondents on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" from 1996 to 1998.

Born in Charlotte, Michigan, Brown began his career as a street juggler, and became a stand-up comedian after entering the 1975 San Francisco Comedy Competition. He became a member of the Writer's Guild when he was hired by Lorne Michaels to join the writing staff of "Saturday Night Live" in 1985; he left for personal reasons six years later. He worked briefly for the progressive radio network Air America Radio during its start-up period in early 2004 and remains active in online political discourse.
