Greg Behrendt (born July 21, 1963) is an American stand-up comedian, author, actor, and podcaster, best known for his role as a writer and consultant on the HBO series Sex and the City and for co-authoring the New York Times bestselling book He's Just Not That Into You, which was adapted into a 2009 romantic comedy film starring Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck.^[1]^[2]^[3] Born in San Francisco, California, Behrendt began his career in stand-up comedy, performing on platforms such as HBO specials including Mantastic (2004) and Greg Behrendt Is Uncool (2007), as well as appearances on The Tonight Show, Late Show with David Letterman, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.^[1]^[3] His tenure on Sex and the City from 2002 to 2004 involved contributing to scripts and character development, where he collaborated with writer Liz Tuccillo to create the concept for He's Just Not That Into You, a self-help book offering humorous dating advice that became a cultural phenomenon upon its 2004 release.^[3]^[2] Behrendt has also co-authored subsequent books with his wife, Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt, including It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken (2005) and It's Just a Date (2007), and in 2024 published the autobiography See You on the Way Down.

Early life

Childhood and family background

Greg Behrendt was born on July 21, 1963, in San Francisco, California.^[1] He grew up in a wealthy family, with his father serving as the general manager of an NBC affiliate television station and his mother, a Stanford graduate from a family with significant financial resources, being a high-functioning alcoholic whose drinking affected family dynamics particularly after 6 PM.^[8] Behrendt has described his parents as bright, festive, and loving despite these challenges, noting that their sharp humor and storytelling influenced his own comedic perspective from an early age.^[8] He has one younger sister, and the family later relocated from San Francisco to Marin County after his father left the television industry, with his father later managing radio stations.^[8] Behrendt's childhood was marked by significant health challenges, including severe cross-eyed vision problems that required multiple surgeries between ages 3 and 6, during which he wore eye patches and had his hands taped to his sides to prevent interference, leading to him eating off a stool and gaining considerable attention at home.^[8] These experiences contributed to academic struggles and feelings of being "less than" his peers, but his mother's encouragement to embrace his natural dinner-table persona played a key role in fostering his early interest in performance.^[8] Initially, Behrendt pursued non-comedy interests like sports for social acceptance, playing football throughout high school and joining a rugby club in his senior year, though he found limited success as an athlete, which later informed his humorous self-deprecation.^[8] By his late teens, around age 17, he discovered a passion for music and performance, inspired by bands like Aerosmith, before shifting toward theater as a creative outlet.^[8] His father's emphasis on valuing women also shaped his early romantic interests and social worldview.^[8]

Education

Behrendt enrolled at the University of Oregon in the mid-1980s, initially intending to pursue a degree in business while participating in the university's rugby club, where he had previously excelled as a high school athlete.^[9]^[8] During his time there, he joined the rugby team but suffered an injury that diminished his enthusiasm for the sport, prompting a reevaluation of his academic and extracurricular path.^[8] Finding the business curriculum unappealing, Behrendt shifted his focus to the theater department, drawn in part by its social environment and opportunities for performance. He graduated in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts in theater after an extended six-year tenure that included involvement in classical productions such as works by Shakespeare and Sheridan, which provided early training in stage presence and character work.^[8]^[10] He also started a band during this period, further developing his creative and performative skills through music and improvisation.^[8] This educational pivot profoundly shaped Behrendt's comedic style, instilling a foundation in storytelling, timing, and audience engagement that transitioned seamlessly into stand-up after graduation. The theater experiences honed his ability to craft narratives from personal observation, a hallmark of his later observational humor.^[9]^[8]

Comedy career

Stand-up beginnings

Greg Behrendt moved to San Francisco and began his stand-up career in the early 1990s, performing at local comedy clubs such as Cobb's Comedy Club, where he was part of the "Class of 1992" alongside comedians like Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn.^[11]^[12] He initially honed his skills through improv with the troupe Crash and Burn, which included Margaret Cho, and quickly became part of the city's vibrant comedy scene, drawing encouragement from peers to take the stage regularly.^[11]^[13] During this initial phase, Behrendt also incorporated performances with rock bands into his routine, blending comedy with music in live settings to build his audience.^[14] As his reputation grew, Behrendt expanded beyond local gigs to national tours in the 1990s and early 2000s, delivering sets characterized by sharp wit on relationships and self-deprecating humor about everyday absurdities, often drawing from personal experiences as a suburban dad and former "cool" guy.^[13]^[15] One of his notable televised stand-up specials, Greg Behrendt is Uncool, debuted on Comedy Central in January 2006, which captured his tour material and deconstructed notions of hipness through candid, observational routines.^[16] Behrendt continued to tie his live performances to recorded releases, with the 2009 album That Guy From That Thing documenting a high-energy show that highlighted his evolving stage presence and crowd interaction.^[17] This was followed by Original Uncool in 2011, recorded at the Houston Laugh Stop and featuring extended bits on fatherhood and irrelevance, reinforcing his reputation for raw, relatable humor derived directly from tour experiences.^[18] Behrendt continues to tour nationally as a stand-up comedian as of 2025.^[6]

Television and film work

Behrendt served as a script consultant for three seasons of HBO's Sex and the City in the early 2000s, providing a male perspective to the writing team amid a predominantly female and LGBTQ+ staff.^[19]^[3] In this uncredited capacity, he contributed informal input, including originating the iconic line "He's just not that into you" during a hallway discussion with writer Liz Tuccillo, which later informed the series' dialogue on relationships.^[20] Behrendt hosted the syndicated daytime talk show The Greg Behrendt Show, which premiered on September 12, 2006, and focused on relationship advice drawn from his comedic insights; the program aired until February 2007 before being canceled.^[21]^[22] He later hosted the reality series Greg Behrendt's Wake-Up Call on SoapNet, which debuted on January 8, 2009, and ran for six episodes through February 12, 2009, offering intervention-style guidance to couples on the verge of breakup.^[23] In film, Behrendt made an uncredited cameo appearance as a priest in the 2009 romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You, directed by Ken Kwapis and adapted from the book he co-authored with Liz Tuccillo.^[24] His broader television presence includes stand-up performances on HBO's Mantastic and Comedy Central's Presents and Uncool specials, as well as guest spots on late-night programs.^[25] Behrendt has also held production credits, including executive producer for the NBC anthology series Love Bites (2011) and co-producer for the comedy showcase The Comedy Jam (2017).^[1]

Writing and media contributions

Books and publications

Greg Behrendt's writing career gained prominence through self-help books focused on relationship dynamics, often co-authored with collaborators from his television background. His debut book, He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys, co-written with Liz Tuccillo and published in 2004 by Simon Spotlight Entertainment, originated as advice from Behrendt's role as a consultant on the HBO series Sex and the City.^[26] The book provides straightforward guidance for women to recognize disinterest from romantic partners, emphasizing that men's actions clearly signal their level of commitment without needing excuses or overanalysis. It became a major commercial success, selling over two million copies and achieving New York Times bestseller status, including topping the paperback advice list in late 2004.^[27]^[28] The book's popularity led to its adaptation into a 2009 romantic comedy film directed by Ken Kwapis, featuring an ensemble cast including Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston, which explored interconnected stories of romantic miscommunications inspired by the original text.^[29] Building on this foundation, Behrendt co-authored several follow-up titles with his wife, Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt, extending the themes of candid relationship advice into post-breakup recovery, modern dating etiquette, and marriage maintenance. It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Break-Up Bible, published in 2005 by Broadway Books, offers humorous yet practical strategies for healing after romantic endings, stressing the importance of no contact and self-reflection to move forward.^[30] Similarly, It's Just a Date: How to Get 'Em, How to Read 'Em, and How to Rock 'Em, released in 2007 by HarperEntertainment, demystifies the early stages of dating by advocating for clear intentions and avoiding overcomplication, drawing on real-life anecdotes to promote healthier interactions.^[31] In 2018, they published How to Keep Your Marriage from Sucking: A No B.S. Guide for Better Relationships through Simon & Schuster, providing blunt advice on sustaining long-term partnerships through communication and mutual effort.^[32] These works maintain the witty, no-nonsense tone of Behrendt's debut, prioritizing empowerment through honest self-assessment in romantic contexts. In 2024, Behrendt shifted toward personal memoir with See You on the Way Down, Catch You on the Way Back Up!, an Everand Original that chronicles his life challenges following the success of He's Just Not That Into You. The autobiography delves into his battles with lymphoma, addiction, career stagnation, and marital strains in the years after 2004, offering introspective reflections on resilience and recovery.^[33] Across his publications, Behrendt's themes blend self-help with memoir elements, using humor to address emotional vulnerabilities in relationships and personal growth, influencing a generation of readers seeking straightforward relational insights.

Podcasts and other media

Behrendt co-hosted the comedy podcast Walking the Room with Dave Anthony starting in the early 2010s, where the duo engaged in candid discussions on comedy, personal experiences, and everyday life over hour-long episodes released weekly.^[34] The show, which debuted around 2010 and continued until ceasing regular production in 2014 with a final live episode in 2015, developed a dedicated following for its raw humor and unfiltered banter.^[35] Since 2019, Behrendt has co-hosted the advice podcast Don't Take Bullsht from Fckers with Kane Holloway, where they field listener questions on relationships, personal boundaries, and life challenges, offering humorous yet direct guidance in weekly episodes that remain active as of 2025.^[36] He also co-hosts Rock Out with Your Doc Out with musician Kay Hanley, blending music discussions with personal stories, which continues to release episodes as of 2025.^[4] In 2018, Behrendt released his latest comedy album, Why Are You in Here?, a stand-up recording that captures his observational, conversational style reminiscent of podcast dynamics, exploring themes of relationships and self-reflection through sharp, relatable anecdotes.^[37] Behrendt has maintained an active presence in recent media appearances, including a 2024 interview on the Paul Ofcharsky Interviews podcast where he discussed strategies for bouncing back from personal setbacks and his self-help journey as a comedian and author.^[38] These discussions often tie into broader themes from his books, such as navigating emotional challenges in relationships. Beyond podcasts, Behrendt engages through social media, using his Instagram account (@itsgreggers) to announce upcoming shows, share motivational insights, and promote personal growth, as seen in a 2023 post emphasizing persistence in creative work.^[39] He has also hosted charitable events, including the MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert in 2011, supporting addiction recovery for music industry professionals.^[40] Post-2020, Behrendt's digital presence has evolved to emphasize online coaching services, promoting one-on-one relationship and life coaching sessions via his website and social platforms to help clients overcome relational obstacles and build resilience.^[41]^[42]

Personal life

Family and relationships

Greg Behrendt has been married to Amiira Ruotola since 2001, with whom he shares a close professional partnership as co-authors on several relationship-focused books, including It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken (2005) and How to Keep Your Marriage from Sucking (2018).^[43]^[44] Their collaboration extends beyond writing to joint appearances and projects, such as developing content for film and television through their production company, There Might Be Cake, Inc. Behrendt has publicly described Ruotola as his "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," crediting her for providing emotional grounding amid his career successes, including the blockbuster adaptation of He's Just Not That Into You in 2009.^[45]^[11] The couple has two daughters, Bella True (born circa 2002) and Mighty Luna (born 2005), whom they raised in Los Angeles.^[43]^[44] Behrendt has incorporated elements of fatherhood into his personal tattoos, featuring drawings created by his daughters when they were young, symbolizing the profound influence of his parental role on his life.^[46] Family activities, such as movie nights and attending events like Coachella together, remain central to their home life, helping Behrendt balance touring and stand-up commitments.^[46]^[47] Behrendt's experiences in marriage and parenting have informed the relational themes in his comedy and writing, often drawing from the dynamics of his own family without delving into prescriptive advice. For instance, he and Ruotola have explored the realities of long-term partnership in their joint work, emphasizing authenticity and mutual support as key to sustaining their relationship through career highs and family responsibilities.^[44]^[48] During periods of professional acclaim, such as book tours and media appearances, Behrendt has highlighted his family's role in maintaining perspective, noting their shared involvement in causes like political campaigning as a source of unity.^[11]

Health challenges and sobriety

Behrendt has been open about his long-term recovery from alcoholism, achieving sobriety in 1996 after years of heavy drinking that began in his post-college years while working in restaurants.^[49] He marked 15 years of sobriety in August 2011, crediting the process with fostering personal growth and authenticity in his life.^[8] Despite this milestone, Behrendt experienced relapses with opiate addiction on two occasions, including one following his cancer treatment, which he later described as involving intense withdrawal symptoms that felt "worse than the cancer."^[49]^[50] His ongoing recovery has included participation in sober comedy events, such as the 2025 Sober & Standing (UP!) lineup, where he performed alongside other comedians in recovery to promote resilience and community support.^[51] In April 2015, while traveling in Australia, Behrendt was diagnosed with stage 2 Non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma after seeking emergency care on Easter Sunday.^[52]^[53] He underwent six rounds of chemotherapy and entered remission by autumn 2015, with follow-up scans confirming he was cancer-free by December of that year.^[54] Behrendt shared details of his diagnosis and treatment journey on podcasts, including episodes of Never Not Funny in August 2015 and Wilosophy in July 2015, emphasizing the emotional and physical toll while highlighting the effective medical care he received abroad.^[55] His family provided essential support throughout this period, helping him navigate the challenges.^[56] Reflecting on these experiences in his 2024 autobiography See You on the Way Down, Catch You on the Way Back Up!, Behrendt explored the intersections of his cancer battle, addiction struggles, and path to resilience, framing them as pivotal to his personal reinvention.^[33] In interviews from 2023 to 2025, he has discussed ongoing health management, including a 2019 prostate cancer diagnosis treated with surgery, and themes of "bouncing back" through humor and routine.^[57]^[58] These health challenges have profoundly shaped Behrendt's comedy and advice-giving, enabling more raw, self-reflective material in his stand-up—such as routines about depression and recovery—and reinforcing his emphasis on honest, no-nonsense guidance in relationships and personal growth.^[49]^[59] For instance, sobriety allowed him to perform with greater clarity, stating that sober shows let him "just need to do the work" without the distractions of alcohol-fueled performances.^[60]
