EVAN SAYET

Author, Screenwriter, Comedian, and President Script Writer

Coming to PALC on January 20, 2025

Evan Sayet burst on the political scene with his legendary 2007 talk to the Heritage Foundation. That talk, which Andrew Breitbart called “One of the five most important conservative speeches ever given” (and which remains, some 17-years later, the single most viewed lecture in Heritage Foundation’s history) was later expanded into his bestselling book, The KinderGarden of Eden: How the Modern Liberal Thinks. His article on behalf of President Trump, “He Fights” is, by far, the single most read article in Townhall’s history and his new book, The Woke Supremacy was the top book on politics on Amazon.com.  Evan’s new book, Magic Soup, Typing Monkeys, The Patently Absurd, Wholly Unsubstantiated and Extravagantly Failed Atheist Origin Myth is an Amazon bestseller.

Evan was also a top advisor to the Ted Cruz for President campaign, has written four speeches for first candidate and then President Trump and has spoken at the Ronald Reagan dinner at CPAC, the Annie Taylor dinner at David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend, the Golden Circle breakfast at the Center for National Policy’s annual event and keynoted hundreds of other national, regional events.

Evan has written and/or produced in virtually every medium there is. Starting out as a standup comic he was quickly noticed by David Letterman and offered a spot on a special episode featuring young talent. Segueing into writing, he was an integral part of the team that made “The Arsenio Hall Show” the first late night program in thirty years to give “The Tonight Show” a run for its money and then the very first Creative Consultant on the highly respected “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher” (back when Maher was funny). After that Evan wrote and produced the highest rated special in Discovery’s The Learning Channel’s history (“The 70’s: From Bellbottoms to Boogie Shoes”), perfected the book for a musical comedy, wrote a screenplay optioned by Penny Marshall and even tried his hand at game shows – as the original writer of the cult classic “Win Ben Stein’s Money.”

Evan has been seen on Fox and Friends, Cavuto, Red Eye w/Greg Gutfeld, Laura Ingraham, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax and scores of other television shows as well as having appeared on radio with Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Prager, Larry Elder and hundreds of other nationally syndicated Republican and conservative talk radio hosts.
