Stroudsburg native Danny Chun, an executive story editor on The Simpsons, will get his first lead writing credit next month. The episode, which will air Nov. 13 has Bart Simpson spending so much time with Marge that he’s in danger of becoming a “mama’s boy,” says Chun, who has worked on the popular animated sitcom since May 2003. Though he’s written two other scripts for ”The Simpsons,” they probably won’t air for another year, Chun says. What’s the hardest thing about writing for a show that’s been on television for 17 years? Finding new material, Chun says. “I watched the show when I was 13 or 14 years old and so the jokes are implanted in my brain. I’ve pitched jokes in meetings that people tell me they did years ago,” Chun says.
