Evan Goldberg

Evan Goldberg (born 1982) is the co-writer and executive producer of Sony's The Green Hornet, directed by Michel Gondry and starring Seth Rogen who also co-wrote.

Goldberg attended Point Grey Secondary School and McGill University before joining the staff of Da Ali G Show, along with his childhood friend and comedy partner Seth Rogen. Rogen and Goldberg previously collaborated on the films Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express and Funny People. In a strategy to garner interest and funding, Goldberg created a pre-production trailer for Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse, a film he is now working on with Rogen.

Goldberg and Rogen are both "obsessed" fans of The Simpsons. After learning that The Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks was a fan of Superbad, they decided to ask the producers of the show if they could write an episode. They were invited to The Simpsons writers' room, where they pitched several episode ideas. One was accepted, and they wrote an outline with the help of some feedback from the regular writers. It became the episode "Homer the Whopper", which was the season premiere of the twenty-first season.
