Lawyer Turned Writer Wins TV Comedy Contract at 20th Century Fox
Ron Morgove 36 of Portland won a TV comedy contest held by 20th Century-Fox Television, beating about 4,000 applicants for a $1,000 prize, in-studio training, and a contract with options. He is the sole out-of-towner winner, with Los Angeles entrants noted for no edge. Morgove pursued writing while remaining a practicing attorney, inspired by roommate John Rappaport and early gags sold to Joan Rivers.
