Take 101 - Showrunner Mike Scully, The Simpsons
Season 3 Premiere
We have legendary Simpsons showrunner Mike Scully on the show.
He talks about being pigeon-holed as ‘Cartoon Boy’, losing out on an Emmy to the Rugrats Passover special and writing jokes for $25 for Yakov Smirnoff.
He tells us about being accused of being a UN Observer for being so quiet in a writing room, having a show cancelled for being too wild and crazy when they specifically asked for a wild and crazy show and tells us about the comedy show pitch which got no laughs.
A brutally honest and insightful interview from one of the industry’s most decorated creatives.
