Good Dad

Stacey Angeles is a Texas-born, New York-schooled, Emmy and DGA-nominated director whose work has been screened across the United States and internationally.
Her career began as a precocious nine-year-old who, instead of doing the class assignment of writing an essay on Alexander Graham Bell, decided to use her RCA VHS camcorder to shoot a parody of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure showing that time travel wouldn’t have been possible since a telephone booth would have ceased to exist without Bell’s invention. She failed for not doing the required written assignment.
She’s since graduated from a camcorder, but the impulse to do the unconventional thing and color outside the lines has come to define her career so far. As a director, writer, and executive producer she has created content for HBO, Showtime, NBC, Comedy Central, ABC, CBS, MTV, VH1, and Bravo to name a few. She is currently at The Daily Show where she writes and directs segments on anything from Switzerland’s gun culture to racism in porn.
