Mike Scully      

Writer & Producer Best Known for Parks & Recreation, The Simpsons, and Everybody Loves Raymond

Emmy, Peabody, and Writers’ Guild of America Award winning writer/producer Mike Scully has worked in all genres of TV comedy: animation, single-cam, multi-cam, hidden-cam, award and live performance shows.

He joined "The Simpsons" writing staff since 1993 and was promoted to showrunner in 1997 for Seasons 9 through 12 and co-wrote and co-produced The Simpsons Movie, released in 2007. In 1998, he organized the Fox animated shows and threatened a work stoppage to win Writers Guild of America union coverage for the writing staff. He was a consulting producer on the show until 2021 and continues to write episodes.

Scully served as 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 Poehler and Tina Fey when they hosted the Golden Globes.

He co-created (with Julie Thacker-Scully & Amy Poehler) the animated Fox/Hulu show “Duncanville” starring Poehler, Ty Burrell, and Rashida Jones, which ran three seasons. 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.”
