David X. Cohen, writer for The Simpsons, writer and executive producer for Futurama, and graduate of U.C. Berkeley studying theoretical computer science. Born David Samuel Cohen and known pre-Futurama as David S. Cohen, he changed his name after joining the Writer's Guild of America as there was already a person named David S. Cohen. He chose X because it sounded "sci-fi-ish". This being fitting as Futurama was laced into a sci-fi future. He works with Matt Groening in many projects. He is credited for writing or co-writing the following Futurama episodes:
