Some Folk'll Never Write A Book, But Then Again Mike Reiss'll

You might remember Mike Reiss from writing such films as "Ice Age," "Kung Fu Panda" and "The President's Neck is Missing." OK, that last one is actually from Reiss’ longest-running gig in the writers’ room on Fox behemoth "The Simpsons," where he was also co-showrunner for the show’s pivotal third and fourth seasons. The Emmy and Peabody winner has been delivering a presentation on the show for many years , and has now released a new book: "Springfield Confidential: Jokes, Secrets and Outright Lies From a Lifetime of Writing for 'The Simpsons.'"
