T. Sean Shannon is a comedy writer originally from Houston, Texas.

As a writer for Saturday Night Live he won an Emmy Award in 2002 (nominated in 2001 & 2003) and a WGA Award in 2001 (nominated in 2001, 2002 and 2003). He is the writer and creator of the sketch "Bear City", which deals with a city completely inhabited by anthropomorphic bears due to a meteor crash.

He was also the subject of controversy and political unrest at SNL, thanks to a racist joke he told in The Aristocrats. (Penn Jillette mentions this incident in the commentary for the film, but does not mention the show, instead stating that T. Sean works for a popular network comedy show.)
