Bill shares what it’s like having a career as a writer and showrunner for The Simpsons and Mission Hill, as well as a food influencer. He discusses transitioning from staff writer to showrunner on The Simpsons, writing Space 1969, a retro sci-fi starring Natasha Lyonne, using social media to become “The Gordon Ramsey of Fast Food,” and founding The Steamed Hams Society.
