Michael "Mike" Reiss (born September 15, 1959) is an American television comedy writer His children would call their father "Troy McClure" when his back was turned. [1] According to show creator Matt Groening, Phil Hartman was cast in the role due to his ability to pull "the maximum amount of humor" out of any line he was given.

Development

McClure's character is most developed in "A Fish Called Selma", which provides a more in-depth look into his private life and backstory. [2] Show runners Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein were fans of Phil Hartman, and wished to make an episode entirely about McClure in order to give Hartman as much to do as possible. Show runner (alternatively showrunner) is a term used in the United States television industry referring to the person who is responsible for the day-to-day operation Bill Oakley (born in 1966 is an American television writer best known for his work on The Simpsons. Josh Weinstein (born May 5, 1966 in Maryland) is an American television writer best known for his work on The Simpsons. From this came the idea of McClure's marriage to Selma Bouvier, as she was "always marrying people". Patty and Selma Bouvier are fictional characters in the Fox Broadcasting animated series The Simpsons, and are voiced by Julie Kavner. [2] Animator Mark Kirkland was particularly pleased that McClure was the star of the episode. Mark Kirkland is a director of episodes of The Simpsons.

[2] Throughout "A Fish Called Selma", it is hinted that McClure has strange sexual behavior. The writers did not initially know what the "unsavory" sexual preference would be, but eventually decided on a fish fetish, using a suggestion from executive producer James L. Brooks. James L Brooks (born May 9, 1940) is an American producer, Screenwriter and director. Josh Weinstein described the fish fetish concept as "so perverted and strange, it was over the top". [2]

He continues, "The smarmy Hollywood type. . . has been done to death, but Hartman's version breathed new life into it with each appearance. McClure has become the apotheosis of the stereotype, a gut-achingly funny reinterpretation whose trademark introduction. . . has become a shorthand way to describe any grossly artificial media figure.
