'''Glenn Eichler''' is a comedy writer and producer.
==Before ''Daria''==
Glenn Eichler served as the managing editor of the American humor magazine ''National Lampoon''.
In addition to his work with National Lampoon, Eichler was a freelance writer for Esquire, The Village Voice and the New York Times.
Line 13:
Glenn Eichler mentions how he got started with MTV in an interview:
:'''Well, I guess Beavis was my big break. I was an editor at National Lampoon, during MTV's youth, and came over to MTV as a promo writer, and Beavis happened to come out of the promos department, because a very creative producer there, named John Payson, found Beavis, at I believe the Spike and Mike's Twisted Film Festival. To make a long story short, the little short that Mike Judge produced got a big reaction immediately from MTV viewers, and they wanted to rush into production and start making cartoons, but they didn't have a staff, so they used the promo writers as the writers, and that's how I became a cartoon writer, I guess.'''
While working under Mike Judge as a ''Beavis and Butt-head'' writer, Eichler is credited with three of the episodes. Furthermore, he was credited as creating the character of [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] to serve as a comedic foil for Beavis and Butt-head. When MTV decided to create a ''Beavis and Butt-head'' spinoff, they sought out Glenn Eichler for assistance and were able to use Daria, a character which had not been created by Mike Judge.
