Highest Rated: 92% Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (1985)

Lowest Rated: 7% License to Wed (2007)

Birthday: Aug 17, 1957

Birthplace: Belleville, Illinois, USA

Often associated with family fare and genial comedies, Ken Kwapis was also twice nominated for CableACE Awards for directing the very adult "The Larry Sanders Show" (HBO). Perhaps his best-remembered episodes of the latter were with performance artist Tim Miller and with Carol Burnett when a number of tarantulas escaped in the studio.
