Key Information
Early life and education
[edit]Segal grew up in New York City where his father was head of publicity at MGM. In the 1970s, he and his family moved to Los Angeles. He attended the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he double majored in broadcast journalism and English.[2]
Peter Segal graduated from the USC School of Cinema and Television.[3][4]
Career
[edit]Segal began his career writing and directing television. In 2002, he created the NBC sitcom Hidden Hills (2002–2003). In 1995, he formed his production company, Callahan Filmworks, along with long-time producing partner Michael Ewing.[4] Segal made his feature film directorial debut in 1994 with Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, starring Leslie Nielsen and George Kennedy.[5][6][7][8][9] Segal directed Chris Farley and David Spade in Tommy Boy (1995).[10][11] Although it received mixed reviews at the time of release and was considered a commercial disappointment,[12] Tommy Boy's reputation has grown over the years and it is considered in some quarters a "now-iconic cult classic."[13]
Segal directed the comedy film My Fellow Americans (1996), starring Jack Lemmon, James Garner, and Lauren Bacall.[3][4] The film received mixed reviews from critics. It holds a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 60 reviews and with an average rating of 5.3/10: "It doesn't commit any impeachable offenses, but My Fellow Americans lacks strong regulatory oversight of its toothless political satire and misuse of comedic talent."[14] Co-star Garner was not impressed by Segal, writing in his memoirs that Segal "was a self appointed genius who didn't know his ass from second base and Jack and I both knew it."[15]
Segal next directed the comedy Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000), starring Eddie Murphy.[3][4] The film was very successful, grossing $42.5 million in its opening weekend, the then-highest opening weekend for an Eddie Murphy film.[16] The film grossed $166.3 million worldwide.[17] Critically, however, the film did not fare as well: on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 27% and an average rating of 4.5/10, based on reviews from 89 critics. The site's review says, "While Eddie Murphy is still hilarious as the entire Klump family, the movie falls apart because of uneven pacing, a poor script, and skits that rely on being gross rather than funny."[18] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 38 out of 100, a score which indicates a generally unfavorable response based on reviews from 34 critics.[19]
Segal directed Adam Sandler for the first time in Anger Management (2003), which also starred Jack Nicholson.[20][21][22] When asked by the BBC who was the most famous person in his contacts, Segal replied, "I have to say, it's very obvious now, it's Jack Nicholson. I've kept his number on my speed dial just so I can show it to friends. I could call him up out of the blue, but I'm worried he might say 'Pete who?'"[3] Segal collaborated with Sandler in 50 First Dates (2004) which starred Drew Barrymore.[21][23][24][25][26] Segal collaborated with Sandler for the third time in The Longest Yard (2005), a remake of the 1974 film of the same name.[2][3] The film became the second highest grossing sports comedy in history.[4]
After directing three of Sandler's films, Segal's next film was Get Smart (2008). It is an adaptation of the '60s television series of the same name which was created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. Segal said in an interview with AMC that he loved the show so much as a kid. The film starred Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Arkin, and Terence Stamp.[27][28][29][30][31] Segal also directed Grudge Match (2013), which starred Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Hart, Alan Arkin, Kim Basinger, and Jon Bernthal.[9][32][33]
Personal life
[edit]When asked in a September 2014 interview by the BBC if he believes in God, Segal replied, "I do. I'm very spiritual and I'm Jewish by faith. I'm not a practising Jew, I'm more of a recreational Jew. I celebrate the holidays and I try to inform my kids about their heritage because I think we all at some point have to defend our heritage and if they get picked on I want them to know why."[3]

Family background
Peter Segal was born on April 20, 1962, in Manhattan, New York City.[11] He spent his early childhood in New York City, where his family resided on the Upper West Side. Segal's father served as the head of worldwide advertising and publicity for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) Studios, a position that provided young Peter with early exposure to the film industry through behind-the-scenes insights and industry events.[3][12] In the 1970s, Segal's family relocated to Los Angeles when his father was transferred to MGM's West Coast headquarters, marking a significant shift that immersed Segal further in Hollywood's environment during his formative years. This move, prompted by his father's career, influenced Segal's budding interest in filmmaking, setting the stage for his later academic pursuits at the University of Southern California.[12][3]Academic pursuits
Peter Segal attended the University of Southern California (USC), where he pursued a double major in English and broadcast journalism, graduating in 1984.[13][14] Although his formal degrees were outside the School of Cinematic Arts, Segal immersed himself in film-related coursework by auditing classes alongside his film-major roommate, fostering an early passion for visual storytelling and production techniques.[13] His studies emphasized writing-intensive courses in the first two years, followed by hands-on production classes in television, which introduced him to directing and editing fundamentals essential for comedy.[15] These experiences at USC, combined with the university's collaborative environment, shaped Segal's approach to narrative humor and prepared him for professional opportunities in entertainment.[14]Career
Entry into the industry
After graduating from the University of Southern California in 1984 with a double major in English and broadcast journalism, Peter Segal secured an internship at KCBS in Los Angeles, which provided his initial entry into television production and honed his storytelling skills.[13] Segal began his professional career in the late 1980s as a production assistant on various television projects, gaining hands-on experience in behind-the-scenes operations before advancing to more creative roles.[13] A breakthrough came in 1991 with Segal's direction of the HBO comedy special Tom Arnold: The Naked Truth, earning him a CableACE Award nomination for Directing a Documentary Special that same year.[16][17] He followed this with another nomination in 1992 for Writing a Documentary Special, tied to the sequel Tom Arnold: The Naked Truth 2.[17] Segal also directed episodes of the ABC sitcom The Jackie Thomas Show in 1992–1993, further establishing his reputation in episodic television comedy.[16] These television achievements, particularly his HBO specials, impressed producer David Zucker, leading to Segal's selection as director for the feature film Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult in 1994 and marking his shift from TV to theatrical releases.[18]Film directing highlights
Peter Segal made his feature film directorial debut with Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult in 1994, the third installment in the slapstick comedy series starring Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling detective Frank Drebin. The film earned $51 million at the domestic box office against a $30 million budget, marking a solid commercial performance for Segal's entry into theatrical directing. Critically, it received mixed reviews, with a 54% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on contemporary assessments that praised its absurd humor but noted diminishing returns compared to earlier entries in the franchise.[19][20][21] Segal's follow-up, Tommy Boy (1995), starred Chris Farley and David Spade in a road-trip comedy about an underachieving salesman, establishing a recurring collaboration with Farley that highlighted Segal's affinity for physical comedy honed from his early television work. The film grossed $32.6 million domestically and has since achieved cult status for its energetic performances and quotable moments, though initial reviews were middling. Subsequent key projects included 50 First Dates (2004) and The Longest Yard (2005), both featuring Adam Sandler in lead roles and showcasing Segal's knack for blending romantic or sports elements with broad humor; 50 First Dates earned $196 million worldwide, while The Longest Yard, a remake of the 1974 prison football classic, pulled in $191 million globally and was lauded for its faithful yet updated take on the original.[1][22] In 2008, Segal directed Get Smart, a big-screen adaptation of the 1960s spy sitcom starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, which grossed $226 million worldwide and balanced action with comedic timing reminiscent of his earlier farces. Grudge Match (2013), pitting Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro as aging boxers, achieved $69 million globally but drew mixed critical responses for underutilizing its star power despite Segal's energetic direction. His recent work includes the action-comedy My Spy (2020) with Dave Bautista, impacted by the pandemic with $10.2 million in worldwide earnings yet earning a 49% Rotten Tomatoes score for its family-friendly spy antics, and its sequel My Spy: The Eternal City (2024), continuing the Bautista partnership in a more adventurous vein.[23][24][25][26] Throughout his career, Segal has fostered key actor collaborations, including multiple projects with Sandler that amplified his comedies' commercial appeal, Farley's breakout in Tommy Boy, and Bautista's tough-yet-tender persona in the My Spy series. His films have collectively grossed over $1.23 billion worldwide, underscoring his reliability in the comedy genre. Segal's directing style signature lies in merging slapstick physicality with heartfelt character moments, evolving from the broad, anarchic farces of his debut era to more family-oriented action-comedies that emphasize ensemble dynamics and visual gags.[27][18][1]Television contributions
Peter Segal's television directing career spans several acclaimed series, where he contributed to both comedy and drama formats through multi-episode arcs and pilots. Early in his TV work, he directed episodes of the short-lived sitcom The Jackie Thomas Show (1992–1993), including the season 1 finale "Write This Way," marking his entry into episodic comedy direction.[28] In the mid-2010s, Segal helmed multiple episodes of comedy-drama series, showcasing his ability to handle ensemble dynamics. For Showtime's Shameless (2014–2016), he directed three episodes: season 4's "Strangers on a Train," season 5's "The Two Lisas," and season 6's "Pimp's Paradise," focusing on the Gallagher family's chaotic interpersonal conflicts with a blend of humor and tension.[29][30] Similarly, on Starz's Survivor's Remorse (2014–2017), Segal directed key installments such as season 1's "How to Build a Brand," season 2's "Starts and Stops," and season 3's "The Night of the Crash," emphasizing the Calloway family's navigation of sudden wealth and fame through witty, character-driven narratives.[31][32] His approach to TV comedy often highlights ensemble casts and quick pacing, allowing for layered interactions and rapid shifts between laughs and heartfelt moments, as seen in these projects.[33] Segal also directed the season 1 episode "Commissioner Bigfish" of TBS's anthology-style comedy Angie Tribeca (2016), contributing to its parody of police procedurals with absurd, fast-paced humor centered on detective Angie Tribeca's investigations.[34] Post-2020, Segal's most prominent TV contribution was to Starz's wrestling drama Heels (2021–2023), where he served as executive producer and directed seven episodes across both seasons, including the series pilot "Kayfabe" and season 2's finale "Ten-Bell Salute." This work allowed him to return to television following film successes, blending intense family rivalries with the performative world of professional wrestling in a serialized format. No new television directing projects were announced for Segal in 2024 or 2025 as of November 2025, though he discussed Heels' potential Netflix revival in interviews amid its 2023 cancellation.[35][36][37]Producing and acting roles
In addition to his directing work, Peter Segal has taken on producing roles that have broadened his involvement in comedy projects, often allowing him to shape narratives and talent ensembles from inception to completion. His producing debut came as associate producer on the parody comedy Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994), where he contributed to the film's production during his transition from television to features.[27] This early credit marked the start of his hands-on approach to comedy franchises, emphasizing ensemble casts and satirical humor. Segal served as producer on Get Smart (2008), a Warner Bros. adaptation of the 1960s television series that updated the spy spoof with modern action elements, starring Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart and Anne Hathaway as Agent 99; the film earned $230.7 million at the global box office, demonstrating Segal's ability to blend nostalgia with broad appeal.[38] He expanded this producer role into sports-themed comedies like Grudge Match (2013), where he oversaw the boxing rivalry tale featuring Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone, grossing $29.8 million domestically. As executive producer on Second Act (2018), Segal helped craft a fish-out-of-water story for Jennifer Lopez, focusing on reinvention and workplace satire, which premiered on Netflix after a limited theatrical run. A key aspect of Segal's producing influence lies in his work on the My Spy franchise, where he served as producer on the inaugural film My Spy (2020)—a STX Entertainment action-comedy about a CIA operative (Dave Bautista) befriending a young girl (Chloe Coleman)—and its sequel My Spy: The Eternal City (2024), which shifted the action to Europe while maintaining family-oriented humor; both were distributed by Amazon MGM Studios, highlighting Segal's role in building serialized comedy properties for streaming audiences.[39] Through these efforts, Segal has influenced the development of comedy franchises by prioritizing relatable character dynamics and crossover appeal, often drawing from his directing background to ensure tonal consistency. Segal has also made occasional acting cameos, typically in minor, humorous supporting parts within projects he produced or directed. In Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994), he appeared as the "#1 Producer of 'Sawdust & Mildew'," a brief role in a chaotic prison performance scene that poked fun at theatrical self-importance.[27] Similarly, in My Fellow Americans (1996), Segal played a TV Technician in a quick sight gag involving malfunctioning broadcast equipment during a political chase.[27] These appearances underscore his lighthearted on-set presence but remain secondary to his behind-the-scenes contributions. Early in his career, Segal contributed to screenwriting on television specials, including co-writing the 1991 cable comedy The Tom Arnold Comedy Special Hour, which featured sketch-based humor tailored to Arnold's stand-up style.[16] He has also provided voice work in select projects, such as uncredited vocal contributions to animated sequences in comedy films, though these are less documented than his producing output.Personal life

As a USC alumnus, Segal maintains strong ties to the cinematic arts community, actively participating in alumni initiatives that foster the next generation of filmmakers.[13] In terms of philanthropy, Segal is a founding member of the USC Cinematic Arts Alumni Development Council, alongside figures like John August and Stacey Sher, where he contributes to fundraising, curriculum enhancement, and anniversary celebrations to support film education and ease graduates' transition into the industry.[13][44] He played a key role in launching USC's comedy filmmaking program in 2010, critiquing student projects and sharing insights from his own experiences to mentor emerging talent.[13] Segal has also donated to USC's campus expansions and facilities improvements, reflecting his commitment to advancing resources for cinematic arts students.[44]Filmography
