Mike Scully Biography

Emmy, Peabody, and Writers’ Guild of America Award winning writer/producer Mike Scully took an unusual path to success in Hollywood. In a town where many comedy writers went to Harvard, wrote for the Harvard Lampoon, graduated from Harvard, then joined a TV writing staff populated by Harvard alumni, Scully chose to attend community college, quit after half a day, then drove to Hollywood to pursue a writing career in what his father supportively called “the stupidest plan I ever heard.”

After seven years of writing for shows you’ve never heard of, he joined "The Simpsons'" writing staff as a producer in 1993. He was promoted to showrunner in 1997 for Seasons 9 thru 12 (considered the four most consecutive seasons of the show) and co-wrote and co-produced "The Simpsons Movie,” released in 2007. He was a consulting producer on the show until 2021 and recently wrote a new episode.

Scully also 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 several times as a disgruntled citizen asking stupid questions at town meetings.) He was a writer/producer on the critically acclaimed NBC series “The Carmichael Show” starring comedian Jerrod Carmichael.

He co-created (with wife Julie Thacker-Scully & Amy Poehler) the animated Fox/Hulu show “Duncanville” starring Poehler, Ty Burrell, and Rashida Jones, which ran three seasons. He also co-created some quickly canceled shows such as “The Pitts,” “Complete Savages,” and an animated version of “Napoleon Dynamite.” He and Thacker-Scully created the current ABC/Hulu show “Shifting Gears.”

He is a Consulting Producer on the upcoming second season of the Netflix series “A Man On The Inside” starring Ted Danson.

He has written jokes for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler when they hosted the Golden Globes and for their live “Restless Leg Tour.”

In 1998, Scully organized writing staffs of all the Fox animated shows to win Writers Guild of America union coverage for the writers, who had previously been severely underpaid and without healthcare and pension contributions, unlike their live action counterparts.

He has five daughters who provide him a never-ending financial reason to keep working.
