We'll welcome back actor, director, writer, producer, Jay Kogen! He's probably best known for his Emmy-award winning work on "Frasier," and contributions on "Malcolm in the Middle" and the "Austin Powers" film series. On "The Simpsons" he wrote some truly classic episodes like "Lisa the Greek," "Homer's Odyssey," "Last Exit to Springfield," and more. He worked on "The Simpsons' at a time when it was still finding its footing – he co-created characters like Mr. Burns and Edna Krabappel … we get into it! Plus, we take a look back at the short-lived Nickelodeon show "Wendell & Vinnie" and why it's one of the things he's most proud of.
