Glenn Eichler

Glenn Eichler (born c. 1956) is an American comedy writer who started out as an editor for "National Lampoon" magazine. From there, he moved over to work as story editor for the MTV television shows "Beavis and Butt-head" and "The Maxx". He was later responsible for co-creating and producing the television show "Daria", a spinoff from "Beavis and Butt-Head", for MTV as well as "Hey Joel" for VH1. He has also written for such shows as "Rugrats", Bratz, "Married... with Children", and "The Wrong Coast", a stop-action animation mini-series for the American Movie Classics cable channel. He currently writes for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on CBS after also writing for Stephen Colbert in Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report".
Eichler is the author of the humor books "Mush!: Sled Dogs with Issues", "Stuffed!", "Bill and Hillary's Twelve-Step Guide to Recovery" (a political satire), and "Dr. Katz's Me At a Glance".
Because he was executive producer of "Daria", he is sometimes claimed to be the creator of the character Daria Morgendorffer; this was actually the work of "Beavis and Butt-head" writer David Felton, with some input from Mike Judge.
Personal life.
Born in The Bronx and raised in New Rochelle, New York, Eichler produced a four-page joke newspaper as a pre-teen called the "Wykagyl Wombat". He graduated from American University, where he majored in American literature and worked in an all-too-serious position writing for a trade publication before finding work at the "National Lampoon". Since 2000, he and his family have been residents of Montclair, New Jersey, which he admires for arts and culture.
