“Jay Kuo is a Broadway playwright, composer, and two-time Tony-winning producer. He used to be an appellate litigator, but even after he left the law, his friends and relatives still ask him for free legal advice.

Jay is the founder and CEO of a digital publishing and social media company that rather unexpectedly grew the internet empire of actor and activist George Takei to tens of millions of followers. Jay serves on the board of directors of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest civil rights organization serving the LGBTQ+ community, which Ma once described as the “trendy” people.

Jay lives with a roommate and a tabby in Harlem, New York. He writes a daily Substack on law and politics called The Status Kuo.”
