A novelist, short story writer and well-known collage artist, Mike Metzger grew up in L.A., California. Mike's grandfather was the famous comedian/humanitarian Eddie Cantor and, having literally "grown up" in show business, before relocating to his current home in Chesterfield, Massachusetts, Mike wrote and produced the original reality, comedy game shows, The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game, and countless other network and syndicated TV shows.
