Steven Levitan Wiki Biography

Steven E. Levitan was born on the 6th April 1962, in Chicago, Illinois USA, and is an award-winning television director, scriptwriter and producer, best known to the world for working on such TV comedy series as “Wings” (1991-1995), “Just Shoot Me!” (1997-2003), and “Modern Family” (2009-2017), among other creations. His career started in 1990.

Have you ever wondered how rich Steven Levitan is, as of mid- 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Levitan’s net worth is as high as $200 million, an amount earned through his successful career in the entertainment industry.

Steven is of Jewish ancestry; he spent his entire childhood in Chicago, attending Glenbrook South High School, and after matriculation he enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism in 1984.

Soon after graduation, Steven found a job as the on-air news reporter and morning anchorman for WKOW-TV, and also worked as a copywriter for Leo Burnett Advertising in Chicago. It was in 1989 that he moved to Hollywood, and began pursuing a career in the film industry.

Before he started writing for the sitcom “Wings”, he served as executive producer on the show “Max Glick” in 1990, and then in 1991 his first writing credits came around – he wrote 15 episodes of “Wings” from 1991 to 1995, and then moved on with the creators of “Wings”, David Lee, David Angell, and Peter Casey, to another comedy series -“Frasier” (1994-1996) – to which Steven contributed four episodes in total. His net worth was rising steadily.

In 1997 he created the TV comedy series “Just Shoot Me!” (1997-2003), with Laura San Giacomo, Enrico Colantoni and George Segal in the lead roles, while two years later he pitched another TV comedy series “Stark Raving Mad” (1997-2000), starring Tony Shalhoub, Neil Patrick Harris and Eddie McClintock. The xtensive runs of these two seroes considerably helped his net worth.

Steven started the new millennium with the TV comedy series “Greg the Bunny”, on which he collaborated with Spencer Chinoy and Dan Milano. However, the show lasted only one season, but then in 2005, he created the TV comedy series “Stacked”, with Pamela Anderson in the role of Skyler Dayton, a party girl who wants to start a new life. This show was also unsuccessful, as it lasted only one season too, but then in 2009, he teamed up with Christopher Lloyd to create “Modern Family”, a mockumentary sitcom starring Ed O’Neil, Sofia Vergar, and Julie Bowen. The show is still running, ito its 10th season in mid-2017, and Steven has won five Primetime Emmy Awards for the show to date, among many other awards.

Regarding his personal life, Steven has been married to Krista since 1992, although recent reports state that the two are in the process of divorce. The couple has three children together. Steven still lives in Los Angeles.

Steven Levitan Quotes

  • I once called the head of a network a liar. In hindsight, I should have called him an incompetent liar.
  • I think every time there’s a show like ‘Modern Family’ or ‘Will & Grace’ that portray gay and lesbian characters and is successful, it just further opens the door.
  • What about the accusation that Hollywood is trying to advance its liberal agenda? Well, the fact is, while the creative community admittedly leans left, Hollywood has become a corporate town.
  • I acknowledge that Hulu’s easy accessibility probably keeps some people from pirating. But a respected industry analyst says less than 5% of TV content is being stolen today.
  • I was raised Jewish, my wife was raised Catholic. Though we respect each other’s heritage, and while many of our friends are deeply religious, we have chosen to focus on our similarities, not our differences. We teach our children compassion, charity, honesty and the benefits of hard work.
  • With drama, especially, it seems like the bigger the budgets and the edgier the characters, the more interesting they are. We’re very lucky because ‘Modern Family’ wouldn’t fit on cable: they’d want us to push it more and be edgier and turn it into something that it’s not.
  • Right now the producers of ‘Modern Family’ have no idea how many people watch our show each week on all platforms, and nobody seems to want to tell us. If a disproportionate number of any show’s viewers watch in alternative ways, then, under the current system, that show may not appear to be as strong as it actually is.
  • Friends in the Midwest often ask me what it’s like to raise a family in Los Angeles. I say it’s just like where they are, but warmer and with more traffic. I also tell them people here seem a bit more tolerant of those who are different.
  • Some estimate Hulu IPO could bring in $2 billion. What will the content providers get? Zero. What is Hulu without content? An empty jukebox.
  • I believe ‘Hollywood’ is more like middle America than many people imagine.
  • I think that people with differing points of view find common ground in ‘Modern Family’ is very flattering, and I’m appreciative of that.
  • At its core, 90 percent of my job is still sitting down in a room full of people, and breaking stories… and that requires virtually no technology.
