Greg Daniels is arguably one of the best Simpsons writers the show has ever lost.  His credits include multiple “Treehouse of Horrors” episodes as well as “Lisa’s Wedding”,”Bart Sells His Soul”, and “Homer Badman.”  Daniels left The Simpsons for an opportunity to create a new show alongside Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge.  Together they developed one of the longest-running animated series of all-time with King of the Hill. Today, Greg Daniels is one of the most prolific writers in Hollywood having helped create series such as The Office, Parks & Recreation, and a slew of others.
