A veteran of late night, for most of the last decade Bleyer was a writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

In episodic television, he was a staff writer for FOX's Sleepy Hollow and Bravo's Significant Others, and created and executive produced pilots for Comedy Central and Showtime.
Bleyer is the bestselling author of Me the People: One Man's Selfless Quest to Rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America, the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Earth (The Book), and the co-author, with Gov.

He was a writer and producer for NBC News' Today Show and MSNBC's Ronan Farrow Daily, and is the co-founder of Pilot Media Initiatives, which helps launch political satire television shows in democratically-challenged countries.
