History

Meyer is employed as writer on The Itchy & Scratchy Show at the time of Abraham Simpson's tenure on the show.^[1] Some time later, he attends the emergency staff meeting at the show, following its sudden ratings drop. Meyer responds to executive Lindsey Naegle's suggestion of a hip dog character being introduced to the show, questioning her use of the words "proactive" and "paradigm" as merely "buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important." Although not "accusing [her] of anything like that," Meyer quickly and correctly realizes he is fired.^[2] Meyer is now unemployed and collects his social security check regularly from the Springfield Unemployment Office.^[3] He later walked past Bart on the street.^[4] He was on Kent Brockman's list of people who are gay.^[5]
