Biography


Kohan was born to a Jewish family in New York City and graduated from Wesleyan University in 1986.[2][3][4] He is the son of writer Buz Kohan and novelist Rhea Kohan and the brother of writer/producer Jenji Kohan. He also has a twin brother, Jono.

Kohan and Mutchnik formed a name with their two last names: KoMut Entertainment, which would be the name of the company they own, making Boston Common, Will & Grace, $#*! My Dad Says and Partners. In 1999, it signed a deal with Warner Bros. Television.[5]

On December 11, 2003, NBC filed a lawsuit against Kohan and Mutchnik, claiming that they had to fail to negotiate a contract and a licensee fee for the show.[6] Both sides were settled on April 29, 2007.[7]

He is married to Blair Kohan, a partner and motion picture agent at UTA. He has two daughters (one daughter from a previous marriage).[8][9][10]
