Christopher Lloyd

Lloyd began screenwriting with the first four seasons of The Golden Girls. From there he moved on to the comedy Wings, and then to Frasier, where he became its showrunner. While he was executive producer, Frasier won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series for five consecutive years, the first time any series had done so. Lloyd left Frasier after its first seven seasons, returning to helm its final season. He moved on to such series as Out of Practice (where he first worked with Modern Family’s Ty Burrell), Back To You and then to Modern Family, which also won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series for five consecutive years. Lloyd is the only person to have achieved this distinction twice. As a screenwriter, his work includes the animated feature film Flushed Away (2006), for which he received an Annie Award.
