As the 2 x Webby award-winning star, writer, and producer behind Goodnight Burbank, he created the first-ever scripted half-hour comedy series made for Hulu which was also the first-ever scripted half-hour comedy series to go from the web to TV. Mark Cuban personally licensed the show for his cable channel HDNet the day it premiered. “Goodnight Burbank” and his other original online work - including “Abigail's Teen Diary” and “The Occulterers” - have won iTunes (Best Podcast 2006, Best Podcast 2007) and Yahoo! (Best Podcast 2008) awards, been viewed by millions, and are even known to be taught in college courses Hayden has also contributed to "Behind the Sofa; Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who", named by Amazon UK as one of its 10 Best Books of 2013. He served as a regular on-air contributor for BBC America's TV series "The Brit List” and served as the writer and voice over talent for Yahoo's hugely popular daily web series "Who Knew?" Hayden also contributed sketches for the UK's Channel 4 show "Mashed” - a sketch-based show focusing on the year's major headlines. Most recently, he’s been script-writing for a handful of YouTube channels including Bored Panda’s Secret Diaries and Owner.com - and he just launched an NSFW comedy anthology podcast called Erotica Verbatim. The press has dubbed him a "web sensation" (LA Times), "ridiculously funny" (Time Out) and "one of Internet comedy's brightest stars" (The Guardian). His tweets have been reprinted on the home pages of the New York Times, CNN, Time Magazine, Hollywood Reporter, etc. From 2020-2023, Hayden was sole metadata writer at YouTube Originals, working on projects for well-known personalities such as President Obama, Pope Francis, and Oprah. This work dictated the creation of all titles and descriptions giving him unique insight into the algorithms that Google management uses to promote their higher-end content.
