Springfield Confidential: Book and Author Talk with Veteran Writer of The Simpsons, Mike Reiss
Event Details
The Simpsons are coming to the Danbury Library!
In his freewheeling, irreverent comic style, longtime writer for the #1 animated TV show of all time, Mike Reiss shares stories, scandals, and gossip about working with America’s most iconic cartoon family. He explains how the episodes are created, and provides an inside look at the show’s writers, animators, actors, and celebrity guests. Mike reminisces about the making of perennially favorite episodes, dishes on what it’s like to be crammed in a room full of funny writers sixty hours a week, and tells what he’s learned after traveling to 71 countries where The Simpsons is watched. Mike also answers a range of questions from Simpsons fans and diehards including:
- Where is Springfield located?
- What is the secret of The Simpsons’ success?
- What do you say to people who say the show has gone downhill?
- What do you think of Family Guy?
- And the toughest question of all: Why are all the characters yellow?
Books available for purchase and signing following the presentation.
