What has new Moon Knight writer Mike Benson really done?

Comic Book Resources has announced that a man named Mike Benson will be joining Charlie Huston on writing duties for Moon Knight. As for prior writing experience, they say Mr. Benson is a television writer.

Usually, when they say something like this, they offer a list of credits. The only thing CBR gives us as a clue is this:

"If you glance at Benson's profile on the Internet Movie Database, you'll see that his television writing work has been primarily in the field of comedy..."

Being curious on what this new writer did, I pulled up IMDB. For "Mike Benson" I got 8 responses. The only one with any writing experience is this one. The only writing credit he had was on an episode of "X-Play", the videogame review program on the G4 network. Let me just say this, I hope this is not the Mike Benson they are talking about. Because writing one episode of X-Play does not make you a TV writer.

Trying to give Marvel the benefit of the doubt, I decided to put in "Michael Benson". This search brough 17 results. The only different writer is this one. This Michael Benson has written 3 episodes of Entourage and 12 episodes of The Bernie Mac show. That is a little better. I never saw Bernie Mac but I am a huge fan of Entourage. This makes me happier that he's joining the comic writing ranks.

But how could I be sure? Well, I entered Mike Benson and Moon Knight into MSN Search. I got my confirmation from, of all places, Wizard Universe. In this interview, we find out that the Michael Benson who worked on Bernie Mac and Entourage IS the one taking over Moon Knight. If you asked me which website would have had the better journalism, I would have picked CBR over Wizard anyday.

Now, this might not be all that annying to anyone else but me. But one of the selling points in the CBR article was that Benson is coming from writing for TV. It is only natural that fans would like to know what he has done. CBR pointed us to IMDB, a search which was of the needle and haystack variety. It would have been just as easy to list Benson's credits.
