Dan Harmon's life story began on January 3, 1973, in the vibrant city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, a place that would later influence his creative endeavors. As a renowned television personality, Harmon is most famously associated with his groundbreaking work as creator, writer, and producer for the critically acclaimed series Community, which premiered in 2009 and left an indelible mark on the world of comedy. Additionally, his innovative spirit led him to co-create the adult animated science fiction sitcom Rick and Morty, which debuted in 2013 and has since become a cult classic. Prior to his success with these iconic shows, Harmon honed his craft by working on earlier projects such as Computerman, a 2003 production, and Laser Fart, a 2004 creation.
