Director/writer/producer David Zucker has established himself as one of Hollywood’s (or at least
Wisconsin’s) most successful filmmakers. Starting out after college in Milwaukee, David, with
brother Jerry, and friend Jim Abrahams, created the Kentucky Fried Theater, in the back of a
Madison, WI bookstore. After moving the show to Los Angeles with their groundbreaking style
of outrageous sketch comedy, they became the most successful theater group in Los Angeles
history. After parlaying that success into KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, David, Jim, and Jerry
conceived the idea that would create an entirely new film genre. Â AIRPLANE! broke all
conventions, beginning a streak of hilarious movies including TOP SECRET!, RUTHLESS PEOPLE,
the NAKED GUN franchise, BASEketball, and SCARY MOVIE 3, 4 and 5. David also produced the
successful, but not so hilarious A WALK IN THE CLOUDS and PHONE BOOTH.  He resides in Los
Angeles and is hopeful for a 2020 NFL season.
