The smoking writer was probably John Swartzwelder-who I think still has the record for having written the most episodes of the show. Eventually they stopped tolerating his smoking, so he went to a diner and sat in the booth and smoked and wrote there. Then, when, they banned smoking in restaurants, he bought the booth from the diner, brought it into his home, and continued writing and smoking in the booth. Eventually he stopped going to the studio except for when his scripts were finished. Then he would just drive up in his car, hand them out the window, and drive home. He's a legend in comedy, and was considered reclusive, though I know they called him on one of the commentaries and he actually answered his phone. He was cooking a steak, if I remember correctly.

The odds were against him in such an insane way that you gotta think things happen for a reason in life.

Every once in a while I will return to some clips from the 90's simpson and honestly it convinces me everytime that for a brief period it was one of the best animation series ever, not only were the stories relatable and had great social commentary but the jokes were almost zucker-brothers level at how many jokes they would cram in a short episode. It really was an incredibly written show for a while.
