Marc Wilmore, a well-renowned adult animation writer having worked on such legendary franchises as The PJ’s, The Simpsons, and F is for Family died yesterday at the age of 57 after complications from COVID and other health-related ailments according to his brother Larry Wilmour who announced the news late last night.

While working on The PJs, Wilmore participated in a prank organized by staff members of The Simpsons, where he pretended he was the mayor of East St. Louis, Illinois and angrily accosted writer Matt Selman over a joke that denigrated the city in the episode “They Saved Lisa’s Brain”. As compensation for his involvement with the joke, Wilmore was given a role in the season 11 episode “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge”, in which he played a psychologist.  Wilmore joined The Simpsons’s writing staff in the show’s thirteenth season, and received his first credit for the segment “Send in the Clones” in “Treehouse of Horror XIII”. He won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program as a producer for the episode “Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind” at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2008.

Most recently, Marc was an executive producer on the Netflix series F is for Family which is in production for it’s final season as we speak.
