While at ''Saturday Night Live'', Maxtone-Graham co-wrote the first version of The Chanukah Song with Adam Sandler. Maxtone-Graham once dumped a cup of water on Norm MacDonald's head for smoking in the writer's room. MacDonald responded by punching Maxtone-Graham, who went home and did not return for a week. Maxtone-Graham considered filing charges against MacDonald for assault and battery, and against NBC for not enforcing the no-smoking policy, but decided against it.

Maxtone-Graham was one of several writers recruited to The Simpsons from the pages of [[George Meyer]]'s short-lived Army Man magazine. He joined the ''Simpsons'' crew in the [[Season 7|seventh season]] (though he only began writing episodes in the [[season 8|eighth season]]) and has since written some important episodes, such as "[[Alone Again, Natura-Diddily]]", in which [[Maude Flanders]] dies. In [[2005]], he won a [[Writers Guild of America]] award. He has written 18 episodes, the four most recent of which he co-wrote with [[Billy Kimball]].

However, Maxtone-Graham has also become wildly unpopular among ''Simpsons'' fans on the Internet. The animosity kicked off in 1998, when he stated that he had never watched the show prior to working on it. In the same interview, he contrasted the ''Simpsons'' writers' somewhat lackadaisical approach (saying, for example, that they sometimes confused [[Rod Flanders|Rod]] and [[Todd Flanders|Todd]]) with the Internet fans' apparent obsession with continuity, and remarked, "That's why they're on the Internet and we're writing the show." The interviewer Charlotte O'Sullivan expressed discomfort with his assertion that female writers were not often part of the writing staff, as the "guy humor" of [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] dominated the show's plotlines over the characters of [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]].

The design of the occasionally-appearing Simpsons character "[[Very Tall Man]]" (his most notable appearance being "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]") is based on Maxtone-Graham, who in real life measures in at 6'8".
