He has also used the pseudonym '''Penny Wise'''. Vitti used the pseudonym for episodes [[Another Simpsons Clip Show]] and [[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]] because he did not want to be credited for writing a clip show as expressed on Simpsons DVD commentaries yet ironcially his name was credited for writing the first Simpsons clip show [[So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show]]. The director of The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular "Pound Foolish" has yet to come out and express his true identity away from the pseudonym. It has been expressed by [[Matt Groening]] on commentaries that "Pound Foolish" is a male director who has directed for the show in past episodes.
