He was previously a writer for The Simpsons. Ken has written many songs for both Futurama and The Simpsons, winning two Emmy awards for the latter show. He has also won a Writers Guild of America Award for the episode "Godfellas".

Keeler wrote both the finale of the original run, "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", and the fourth and final of the movies, "Into the Wild Green Yonder", both of which were designed to fit as series' finales.
