Born in Brazil on February 23, 1978, Guterman became interested in comedy after watching
Saturday Night Live and
The Kids in the Hall when he moved to Montreal at age 7—shows that, he said, "genuinely frightened me", as comedy in Brazil was mostly lighthearted in tone. Having become a writer himself, Guterman later described his profession in writing comedy by saying, "You’re doing this very creative, often very personal thing, but you’re expected to produce it in this totally noncreative way. My job is to churn out comedy, which is this intangible and temperamental thing, but at the rate and consistency of an assembly-line worker." After establishing his television writing presence as a writer on
The Colbert Report and receiving an Emmy, Guterman began work with
Dan Harmon on
Community for its fifth season. This relationship continued, and in 2015 Guterman went on to write for both the sixth and second seasons of
Community and
Rick and Morty, respectively. He then continued work writing for
Rick and Morty's third season, writing the episode "The Ricklantis Mixup" and assisting on several others. Guterman co-wrote "Morty's Mind Blowers", which is referenced within the episode as the replacement to "Interdimensional Cable". In 2018, Guterman was brought in as a consultant to work on
Inside Job, an animated show for
Netflix. Guterman has also worked on
At Home With Amy Sedaris and
Another Period, as well as various films. In addition to his television writing career, Guterman penned a short piece for
The New Yorker called "New Optical Illusions" . ==Credits==
