Full article

Andrew Goldberg is an American television writer and producer known for co-creating the Netflix animated series Big Mouth and its spin-off Human Resources, as well as his long-term contributions as a writer and producer on the Fox animated sitcom Family Guy.

Goldberg began his career in 2005 as an assistant to Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, eventually transitioning to staff writer and advancing through roles including supervising producer and co-executive producer on the series. He co-created Big Mouth with his childhood friend Nick Kroll, along with Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett, drawing inspiration from their own adolescent experiences in New York.

The series, which premiered in 2017 and explores themes of puberty through an edgy comedic lens, earned Goldberg Emmy nominations and established him as a prominent voice in adult-oriented animation. He has continued to serve as creator and executive producer on related projects, including Human Resources.

In brief

Andrew Goldberg works in the unglamorous middle of public-affairs television: research, interviews, and a story that has to hold a living-room audience. His documentaries have treated antisemitism and Jewish life as subjects for prime time, not only the classroom.

The films travel because they are built for viewers who did not take the seminar. That is a contribution in a media culture that often leaves this history to specialists.
