Michele Gendelman is a comedy writer, with credits on “Newhart,” “Facts of Life,” and “Ghost Stories,” among many other shows. A part-time professor of screenwriting and film history at Los Angeles City College, she also writes animated series for Cartoon Network and PBS, and is married to writer/producer Andrew Guerdat. Her crowning achievement is having instilled a strong sense of humor in her children, Marc and Abby, and, above all, teaching them to laugh at themselves. Marc and Abby, however, prefer to laugh at their mother. And as far as they’re concerned, her greatest accomplishment is her mashed potatoes.
