Erica Rivinoja (South Park) has closed a two-year overall deal with Sony
. This marks the first overall deal for UTA-repped Rivinoja, who was most recently a writer/consulting producer on NBC’s Up All Night. Her feature credits include Sony’s Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

Erica is super talented and super hilarious. Whatever show gets this girl is a very lucky show indeed.
She’s an awesome lady . Good work, Sony.
The Professor
Definitely the real deal as a writer and not one of these twitter airheads recycling the same five sex jokes over and over. The Cloudy adaptation permanently put her in the big leagues.
With the exception of South Park, and she was probably just a token woman there, her credits suck.
One of the best and funniest people there is.
Erica’s extremely funny and not snobby about her hamburgers.
What a remarkably astute comment! Geno, if you ever have time, I’d love to get together for a couple monster energy drinks and learn more about the TV business from you.
The more stuff created by Erica in the universes the more fun people will have. Congrats Sony on your good taste.
Smart. Funny. Opinionated. Grounded.
Worked. Together. On. Grounded.
Look out Sony! You’re going to have to invent a new kind of TV capable of putting out 1080p of laughter! Erica is not just funny, not just hilarious — she’s riotously uproarious! Comedy is back, folks! And look who’s going to make it explode!
Erica’s the funniest writer I’ve ever worked with. And I’ve worked with me.
Gretchen, I just insulted myself…
Erica is one of the funniest writers out there, extremely talented, and an all around wonderful person. Geno, however, not so much. Bravo, Sony!
News like this has me hugging my computer (I get lonely).
Erica is funny, smart and a damn good person.
You must be right, Geno. I’m sure Matt & Trey kept her around as dead weight for OVER A DECADE. They’ll let anyone hang out in the writers room with them. Not picky at all.
(Erica’s a goofball genius.)
Congratulations to all the people of Finland for this much deserved honor!!!
Yayyyyyyy!!!!!!
With lines like this….,
“Look out Sony! You’re going to have to invent a new kind of TV capable of putting out 1080p of laughter!”
I really hope that you aren’t a comedy writer for the sake of your (presumably starving) kids.
Yikes.
She may be funny but the execs at Sony will surely crush her. Old system and bad execs maybe she will be able to break through the volumes of notes but she will have to grab her meatballs to do it. And no, I am not a writer you trolls.
