Hispanic Business Magazine, the Hispanic market leader
syndicated by the New York Times Company, has named Rick
Najera as one of the most influential Latinos in America.
Each year, the magazine carefully selects the nation’s
highest achieving, most prestigious and powerful leaders;
those who posses the ability to change public agenda. Najera,
most widely acknowledged for his award winning comedic
writing (Latinologues, MAD TV, In Living Color), received
this honor, along with such others as Andy Garcia, Eva
Longoria, Frankie Muniz and Hollywood producer, David
Valdes.
Najera is currently making history on Broadway with his
nationally acclaimed comedy, LATINOLOGUES, in which he
wrote, created and is co-producing. This is Broadway’s first
ever all Latino play: written, created, produced, directed
and starring all Latinos. Najera stars with famed Mexican
comedian Eugenio Derbez, Rene Lavan and Shirley Rumierk in
LATINOLOGUES on Broadway in which Cheech Marin directs.
In addition to being named ‘100 Most Influential’, other
past awards received by Najera include two consecutive
Writers Guild Award nominations in 2005 and 2004 for
Outstanding Achievement and Best Writing in a Comedy /
Sketch Series for his writing on MAD TV. He also received a
2004 Imagen Award for Latinologues™ for Best Live Theatrical
Performance, an ALMA Award nomination for Best Writing in a
television drama and a Golden Eagle Award for his writing on
the Latino Laugh Festival for Showtime.
