Emily Spivey
For Emily Spivey, there was never any trepidation about breaking into the boys club of the TV writer's room. A veteran of such shows as "King of the Hill" (Fox 1997-2010), "MADtv," (Fox 1995-2009), and "Saturday Night Live" (NBC 1975- ), Spivey was creator and executive producer of the sitcom "Up All Night" (NBC 2011-12). The show followed a thirtysomething couple whose lives and careers are upended after the arrival of their baby. Spivey mined her own personal life while writing "Up All Night," which was cancelled in May of 2013 after some controversial changes to the series were proposed.
