Bill Oakley Biography
Bill Oakley has earned three Emmy Awards for his work on "The Simpsons", serving as Head Writer and Showrunner during what many fans consider the apex of the series. He’s best known for writing the much-quoted "Steamed Hams" sketch (Internet Meme of the Year for 2018). Oakley has also written and produced "Futurama", "Portlandia", "Mission Hill", Netflix’s "Disenchantment", and more.
Oakley's hobby is making Instagram food reviews which have earned him the nickname "The Gordon Ramsay of Fast Food". In 2022, he founded "The Steamed Hams Society" a worldwide community for food discussion. He regularly appears the History Channel's "The Food That Built America" as an expert on food brands. Oakley is skilled in the art of comedy and its use in a corporate setting and can instruct your team on how to flex your humor muscles through both speech and exercises. And he can talk all day about food.

Bill Oakley Speaking Topics
This program provides the rare opportunity to have one of TV’s greatest comedy minds teach you and your team the art of humor with practical, personalized, real-world exercises and instruction. Developing and exploring one’s sense of humor is just the beginning; the hard part is using these skills to disarm others, make yourself and your team more affable and admired - and, consequently, more successful. These complex skills simply cannot be learned from a book or a video, which is why your organization will find this in-person, hands-on workshop so valuable.
With Bill’s guidance, you'll perform real-world exercises actually used in Hollywood writers rooms to brainstorm comedy. You'll mine your own creativity and work with others to build and flex mental muscles you didn’t know you had. You'll learn the comedic basics of timing, delivery, body language, and today’s crucial skill of "reading the room". You and your team will come away with a set of skills that will prove invaluable - in simple, practical ways - to your business and personal lives.
As the longest running scripted program in television history "The Simpsons" is a unique operation with many lessons for those in the workplace and especially in management. Juggling 22 episodes a year with up to 16 in production at any one time is a beast of a job, and it takes some special skills to pull it off. Additionally, "Simpsons" writers are legendarily brilliant and hilarious but also quirky, fussy, and sometimes downright crazy. How can one manage a staff of 15 of them and keep it running smoothly while also keeping the enormous ship moving forward? Find out as Bill reveals all in this behind-the-scenes exclusive.
