Mike Reiss, writer and producer of "The Simpsons" is coming to Virginia Tech's Colonial Hall as part of Jewish Awareness Month.
Culled from more than two decades of creating the funniest and most outrageous shows on television, Reiss' presentation is a unique glimpse inside the cutting edge of entertainment, including rare video clips from The Simpsons and the Critic.
He takes audiences inside the lives of Springfield's first family, revealing how The Simpsons was almost cancelled before it hit the air waves, secret trivia of the show, insane dealings with the network censors and lots of juicy gossip about celebrity guest starts. Reiss also delves into the current state of television programming describing with his characteristic wit how TV has changes and where it's going. Come and laugh along with us.
The presentation is free and is open to the public.
Sponsors: Hillel at Virginia Tech, the Jewish Student Union (JSU), Malcolm and Diane Rosenberg Program in Judaic Studies, Women and Minority Artists and Scholars Lecture Series, Women in Leadership and Philanthropy.
