Rick Rosner is an American television writer with among the highest documented adult scores on the Mega Test and the Titan Test - both high-ceiling instruments designed by Ronald Hoeflin. His scores have been written up in Esquire and the New York Times, where he has also been candid about his unconventional life and approach to credentialing.

Professionally Rosner has worked as a writer on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and earned multiple Emmy nominations. Earlier in his life he repeatedly returned to high school in his late twenties, an experience he later described in detail in interviews.

He has appeared as a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? where he reached the $16,000 question. The episode and a long-running dispute with the program over a question he believed had multiple correct answers became a popular feature of his press coverage.
