Matt Groening
Matthew Abram Groening ( ; born February 15, 1954) is an American cartoonist, writer, producer, and animator. He is best known as the creator of the comic strip ''Life in Hell'' (1977–2012) and the television series ''The Simpsons'' (1989–present), ''Futurama'' (1999–2003, 2008–2013, 2023–present), and ''Disenchantment'' (2018–2023). ''The Simpsons'' is the longest-running U.S. primetime television series in history and the longest-running U.S. animated series and sitcom.Groening made his first professional cartoon sale of ''Life in Hell'' to the avant-garde magazine ''Wet'' in 1978. At its peak, it was carried in 250 weekly newspapers, and caught the attention of American producer James L. Brooks, who contacted Groening in 1985 about adapting it for animated sequences for the Fox variety show ''The Tracey Ullman Show''. Fearing the loss of ownership rights, Groening created a new set of characters, the Simpson family. The shorts were spun off into their own series, ''The Simpsons'', which has since aired episodes.
In 1997, Groening and former ''Simpsons'' writer David X. Cohen developed ''Futurama'', an animated series about life in the year 3000, which premiered in 1999. It ran for four years on Fox; was picked up in 2008 by Comedy Central for another 5 years; then was finally picked up by Hulu for another revival in 2023. In 2016, Groening developed a new series for Netflix, ''Disenchantment'', which premiered in August 2018.
Groening has won 13 Primetime Emmy Awards, 11 for ''The Simpsons'' and 2 for ''Futurama,'' and a British Comedy Award for "outstanding contribution to comedy" in 2004. In 2002, he won the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award for his work on ''Life in Hell''. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 14, 2012. Provided by Wikipedia
