Introducing Bill Oakley...Full episode out 09/30/2025Bill Oakley is an American television writer, producer, and food critic best known as a showrunner of The Simpsons during its celebrated seventh and eighth seasons, where he co-wrote some of the series’ most iconic episodes including Who Shot Mr. Burns? and the cult-favourite “Steamed Hams” sketch. A Harvard alum, he built his career in comedy alongside long-time collaborator Josh Weinstein, later creating the animated series Mission Hill and contributing to shows like Futurama and Portlandia.

Today, he straddles pop-culture legacy and modern creator economy, blending humour, nostalgia, and food commentary.🔗 FOLLOW BILL:billoakley.comInstagramX (Twitter)🕒 TIMESTAMPS:00:33 – Best, worst, and weirdest Simpsons writing experience01:50 – Favourite joke that never aired?02:14 – Do you still watch The Simpsons?02:36 – Favourite season and episode03:33 – What Simpsons character do you relate to the most?04:14 – Favourite food jokes from The Simpsons?04:30 – Favourite show you worked on?05:07 – Best comedy of all time?05:26 – One daily practice you swear by in relation to creative output?06:25 – What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?08:10 – Best food city in the country?09:21 – Best food state?09:49 – Top three fast-food restaurants in the US everyone should try at least once?10:43 – Nicest thing somebody’s ever done for you12:45 – Most famous person in your contacts13:21 – Craziest story you’ve been a part of that makes you go “wait, what?”GET IN TOUCH:🌍 Our website🌍 Advertise:
