| − | ''David X. Cohen''' (born '''David Samuel Cohen''') is a writer for ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and head writer and executive producer of ''[[Futurama]]''. Born and known pre-''Futurama'' as '''David S. Cohen''', he changed his name after joining the [[Writer's Guild of America]] as there was already another David S. Cohen (The writers guild does not allow members to have the same name). He chose X because it sounded "[[sci-fi]]-ish", though has jokingly said that the X would make him "the David Cohen people would remember". He works with [[Matt Groening]] on many projects.
