Steven Kunes was born on September 7, 1956 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and attended New York University where he received B.A. degrees in Creative Writing and Comparative Literature in 1978. In 1983, at age 26, TV legend Norman Lear hired Kunes to write and develop half-hour comedies for his company, Embassy Television. This led to assignments in the area of one-hour TV and eventually took him to motion pictures, where Kunes became one of Hollywood's most successful script doctors. In 2015, he created the hit comedy series "Over My Dead Body," which streams on Amazon Prime. According to Norman Lear, "This is the best idea for a TV series that I can remember. It's absolutely hilarious." On November 14, 2021, Kunes delivered a TEDx talk "Square One at 60" in Philadelphia. He divides his time between Los Angeles and Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
