Lon Zimmet is a writer and producer in television comedy. He's best known for his work on "Men at Work." A co-writer jokingly portrayed him as an executive at ABC most notably responsible for canceling cult hit, "Happy Endings." Two years after "Happy Endings" was canceled, Mr. Zimmet is still regularly mocked on social media websites, such as Twitter and Facebook despite never being an executive.
