Neil Simon's brother Danny (1918-2005) was also a TV comedy writer. He worked with Neil on The Phil Silvers Show and Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows. When Neil decided to shift towards writing for the theatre, Danny chose to stick with television. He would go on to write for such popular shows as My Three Sons, The Carol Burnett Show, Diff'rent Strokes, and The Facts of Life. Although overshadowed by his more famous brother, Danny was very well respected within the industry. Woody Allen, who worked with Danny on Your Show of Shows, once said, "Everything I learned about comedy, I learned from Danny Simon."
