Timeline

Eric Kaplan is an American television writer and producer.

His work has included shows such as Late Show with David Letterman, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Malcolm in the Middle, Futurama and The Simpsons.

He also worked on The Big Bang Theory throughout its run.

Kaplan was raised in a Jewish family in Flatbush, Brooklyn where his father was a "storefront lawyer" and his mother taught high school biology at Erasmus Hall.

1986

Starting in 1986, Kaplan interned for Spy magazine, where his duties included mopping the floors and writing blurb-length film reviews.

Eric Kaplan's first television writing job was with Late Show with David Letterman where he worked for a year and a half before moving to Hollywood to look for a job in "half-hour" work.

It was at this time that Kaplan learned of Matt Groening doing a show set in the year 3000.

This show would turn out to be Futurama.

After applying for work on the show using some writing samples, Eric would have to, as he says, "sweat it out", for over a month before getting the job.

Upon Futurama's cancellation, Kaplan went to work for the short-lived comedy series Andy Richter Controls the Universe, writing just one episode.

After Fox dropped Andy Richter, Eric Kaplan then began work on the hit show Malcolm in the Middle, Eric also wrote the "Girlfriends" episode of the popular HBO series, Flight of the Conchords.

In his first year with Futurama, which was also the show's first season, Kaplan served as story editor on every episode.

Though having an input on many aspects of the entire first season, Kaplan would not get a writing credit until 9 episodes in.

After this premiere season, he would be promoted to producer status.

This was a role that he would keep through the show's end.

He returned to those roles in the Futurama DVD movies.

Zombie College was an internet web series Kaplan created that revolved around a student at a college full of zombies.

Kaplan described the premise of Zombie College as "the idea of the human ability to get used to practically anything. That there's nothing so horrible that we can't get used to it and accept it as part of life (...) Zombie College is an environment where there are undead monsters running around and trying to eat your brain but everybody is o.k. with it and they're more interested in getting good grades."

Kaplan co-created The Drinky Crow Show, based on the Maakies comics by Tony Millionaire, for Adult Swim.
