He is a co-author of CollegeHumor’s Guide To College, published by Penguin and is currently producing a CollegeHumor branded comedy for Paramount Pictures and a television show for MTV.

Ricky continues to oversee the editorial content on CollegeHumor as well as the site’s highly successful original video initiatives. He is also charged with starting new content-based websites for the company.
