Ken Keeler is a writer and executive producer for Futurama. He helped create the show, and for the first three seasons was listed as a co-executive producer, but by the fourth season was listed as executive producer. Ken was previously a writer for The Simpsons, and he has written many songs for both shows. He won two Emmy awards for The Simpsons, and won a Writers Guild of America Award for the Futurama 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. He also wrote the upcoming "Futurama Reincarnation", which is so far set to be the final Futurama episode.

A character in the series, Ben Beeler, is based on Ken.

Keeler has a Ph D in Applied Mathematics, which has helped him write several of the nerdier jokes on the show (see 1729 for example).
