QUOTE
  • I try to nurture my kids and help them find what they love. I’m not going to force my kid to play baseball if he doesn't want to play baseball.” -Erik Rivera
  • Communication is key when you’re a parent. I don't remember my father and I having long deep conversations on the couch. So being an example to my kids and continuing that cycle aren't good.” -Erik Rivera

ABOUT THE GUEST

Writer, comedian, actor and producer ERIK RIVERA isn’t just on his way to becoming the next big name in comedy; he’s also quickly making a name for himself in Hollywood.

Not only is the part Puerto Rican/part Guatemalan comic’s comedy special, "Erik Rivera: Super White,” currently streaming on HBO Max, but he also just sold an animated comedy called "Ricky & Cricket" -- about a down on his luck Mexican-American actor, who starts taking control of his life with the help of Cricket, a brash, foul-mouthed guardian angel from the east side of heaven—to Amazon Studios (Erik developed the show with Mr. Iglesias writer-producers Peter Murrieta and Isaac Gonzalez).

As if that wasn’t enough, Rivera is selling out comedy clubs in Los Angeles and co-writing/developing a new sitcom with Eva Longoria.

Erik has appeared at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, where he was hand selected to perform for Kevin Hart's Laugh OutLoud Network and on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

In 2019, he was featured in HBO/HBO Latino’s “Entre Nos” stand up comedy showcase, which highlights the nation’s funniest Latino comics.

Erik’s comedy examines race, marriage, Latino culture and life as an American who’s half Puerto Rican and half Guatemalan.
