Eileen was born in a small town (but not the same one as John Cougar Mellencamp):

Waukegan, IL.

Now you can say you’ve heard of Waukegan, IL. Congrats.

Eileen grew up writing and performing in Chicago. Fast forward to 2015, she was chosen for the NBC Late Night Writers Workshop in NYC.

Recently, you may have seen Eileen in a National Commercial for Dish Network, or on  Teachers. 

Now in Los Angeles, she’s Headwriter & creator for three New comedy Television Pilots:

  • N’Scene (In Production, 2019)

  • Dead to Me (Pre-Production, 2019)

  • untitled comedy Project (Pre-Production, 2019, co-creator Kevin Aguilar).

"Eileen is one of the sharpest and funniest people I have ever worked with. She is extremely collaborative and would be an asset to any job. She approaches everything with integrity and an incredible work ethic, and makes it better simply by being a part of it."

-Kate Lambert, 'Teachers'

"The sharpest and quickest person I've ever met. Plus, she's a great hang...which is EVERYTHING."

-Mike Glazer,  'Billy on the Street'

"Eileen is so funny and ascerbic, but you can feel the satire coming from a great big heart."

-Rob Belushi, 'Ballers' and 'The Off Season'

"I was lost as sea and Eileen Montelione found me...a sandwich."

-Sam Richardson, 'Detroiters' and 'Veep'

“why aren’t you famous yet? Who do I have to call?”
