Full Bio

Emmy, Peabody, and Writers’ Guild of America Award winning writer/producer Mike Scullyhas worked in all genres of TV comedy; animation, single-cam, multi-cam, and variety.

He has been an instrumental part of “The Simpsons” writing staff since 1993and was promoted to showrunner in 1997 for Seasons 9 through 12, considered by many to be the four most consecutive seasons of the show. He co-wrote and co-produced “The Simpsons Movie,” released in 2007.In addition to The Simpsons, where he is still a consulting producer, Scully was a writer/producer on the Emmy-winning “Everybody Loves Raymond,” as well as “Parks & Recreation,” starring Amy Poehler.(He also appeared on the show four times as a disgruntled citizen of Pawnee asking stupid questions at town meetings.)

He was a writer/producer on the critically-acclaimed “The Carmichael Show” starring comedian Jerrod Carmichael. He has written jokes for Amy and Tina Fey when they hosted the Golden Globes.

He is currently co-show running (with Julie Thacker Scully) Season 3of the animated Fox/Hulu show “Duncanville” created by the Scullys and Amy Poehler and starring Poehler, Ty Burrell, Rashida Jones, Riki Lindhome, Yassir Lester, and rapper Wiz Khalifa.

He has also co-created some non-critically acclaimed and very quickly canceled shows such as “The Pitts”, “Complete Savages”, and an animated version of “Napoleon Dynamite”.

A native of Springfield, Massachusetts (no, The Simpsons is not set there), Scully has an unusual background from most contemporary comedy writers in that he didn’t go to an Ivy League college-or any college for that matter-and is self-taught. He considers himself to be “an incredibly hard-working, lucky idiot.”
