Jay Tarses

Jay Tarses (born 3 July 1939 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American television comedy writer and producer. He created and produced "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd" and "The Slap Maxwell Story", co-created "Buffalo Bill" (with Tom Patchett), and was an executive producer for "The Bob Newhart Show". He is the father of Jamie Tarses, former ABC Entertainment chief and current Pariah partner.

Most recently, he was co-creator and co-writer (with Andy Hamilton) for BBC Radio 4's situation comedy set in colonial-era Baltimore, "Revolting People", where he also plays the role of sour shopkeeper Samuel Oliphant to Hamilton's cheerfully corrupt British soldier Sergeant McGurk.
