In a public persona way, maybe so - given that a lot of the writing for the show seemed to be his department, I'd have thought it logical that's where his future lies, in the writing / creativity side of things and the odd panel / guest appearance.
Paul Hawksbee (on talkSPORT) writes for TV Burp and other such shows, I'd think it's a decent enough living.
He only wrote for TCMS though. He has no external writing credentials, he wasn't a writer before TCMS and he hasn't been employed as a writer by anyone else. Its what he did on the show, but it isn't what he does, if you see what I mean. I'm not saying that he isn't good at it, just that it will be difficult for him to get employment as a writer with nothing more formal than that on his cv.
And before people start reminding me about his book, if he wants people to think of him as a writer, he would be better off trying to forget that ever happened.
