Dan Harmon is an American writer and performer who created the television program "Community". He served as its showrunner and executive producer for five of its six seasons. Dan Harmon was born in Milwaukee in 1973. After performing stand-up and sketch comedy, he went to Los Angeles where he began writing screenplays with friend Rob Schrab.
