Mike Reiss has won four Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award for his work on ‘The Simpsons’, the wacky animated series that earned Time magazine’s vote as ‘the greatest TV show of the twentieth century’.
Mike will share the behind-the-scenes stories of many of your favorite characters and episodes, he’ll talk about the show’s run-ins with celebrities, politicians, teachers, religious leaders.
About himself and his fellow writers, Reiss said, “We all wish we were Bart, but we were Lisa growing up, and we’re all becoming Homer.”
Mike will also talk about his other animated creations, like ‘The Critic’ or ‘Queer Duck’ (about a gay duck!).
