John Davies 2020
John Davies is a Los Angeles based American television producer and documentarian. He began his career in broadcast TV at stations in Minneapolis and Chicago but it was his love of comedy, and a succession of award winning shorts and specials produced with James Belushi and other "Second City" veterans that led to interest from HBO. Encouraged to move West, John began writing, producing and sometimes directing comedy specials, unscripted series and documentaries for every major network and cable television outlet. He's still at it.
