Mike Judge

As the creative force behind of the long-running "King of the Hill" (Fox, 1997-2009) and its precursor, the headbang-worthy "Beavis & Butt-Head" (MTV, 1993-97) - not to mention the modern film classic, "Office Space" - Mike Judge was a powerful force in modern-day comedy throughout the nineties and into the next millennium. Much like his contemporary, Matt Groenig of "The Simpsons" fame, Judge created a mini-animated empire, populated with blue collar losers and rednecks, all struggling to make their way through life's minutia.
