The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Lewis Morton, professionally credited as Lew Morton, is an American television writer and producer whose career began in sketch comedy. He wrote for Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s, after working on the Harvard Lampoon. The archive credits him on Adam Sandler’s Hanukkah Song, a musical comedy piece from that period.

Morton later wrote and produced comedy for NewsRadio, Futurama, Veep and Silicon Valley. His work on Futurama received Emmy recognition for animated programming. His career links the short-form demands of a live sketch show with sitcom writing and animation, retaining a focus on comic premises, characters and ensemble storytelling.
