T. Sean Shannon is from Houston, Texas. His brother Charles Shannon (1959-2003) was also a stand-up comedian, and writer.
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. In July 2008, Shannon revealed that he had written a Bear City movie.
He was also the subject of controversy and political unrest at SNL, thanks to a 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.
He directed and co-wrote the feature film Harold that was released in July 2008.
Shannon was first hired to write at SNL in 1998, and was promoted to writing supervisor in 2002, and kept that position until 2005. He remained at the show for one more season, and left the show in 2006; and left at the same time as longtime cast members such as Chris Parnell and Horatio Sanz (all three of whom had been working at the show since 1998), as all three of them departed from the late-night program after eight years, the latter two were let go due to budget cuts.
It is unknown if Shannon was let go due to budget cuts, but it was part of a transition year for SNL, as fellow cast mate Finesse Mitchell (who only lasted three seasons) was also let go due to budget cuts. This was part of a transitional year for SNL, as longtime cast members Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch left for 30 Rock.
