Dan Harmon

Harmon's Emmy win for the Community stop-motion episode stands as a highlight, showcasing his ability to push television storytelling into inventive territory. The episode was produced by his own Starburns Industries, a company named after a character from the show. His co-written feature Monster House earned an Oscar nomination, a rare feat for a debut screenplay. Harmon's real achievement, though, is building two shows, Community and Rick and Morty, that have become cultural touchstones, each with fiercely dedicated fanbases that continue to grow years after their premieres.
