EXCLUSIVE: Veteran TV comedy writer-producer Max Mutchnick, co-creator of Emmy-winning Will & Grace, has signed with WME. Since he started his writing career two decades ago, Mutchnick has been partnered with childhood friend David Kohan. For the past 18-plus years, the duo has been represented by Scott Schwartz at Vision Art Management, who signed them in September 1994 after they had been let go from UTA. Schwartz went on to package eight Kohan and Mutchnick series, including Will & Grace and most recently CBS’ Partners. After the end of Partners, Kohan, who remains with Schwartz, and Mutchnick began contemplating their future. While the two continue to work together on several projects, they also will likely be doing projects separately, and Mutchnick’s signing with a new agency reflects that.

Oh the irony of Partners.
Maybe The CW would be interested in yet ANOTHER attempt to do ‘Partners’? That’s one dead horse these guys love to beat so why let cancellation stop them
I’m wondering what the draw is in signing him. Will & Grace was great but the resume doesn’t have many more offerings after that.
Kohan and Mutchnik are hacks, and each new show they make is worse than the one before. They also have no regard for the “show me, don’t tell me” rule.
UTA let him go? what? what does that mean???
They dropped them as clients in the early 90s, before they went on to create all those shows.
Great guy. Very talented.
Shocking that someone whose success was so carefully tended by Scott did this. Scott may not be anyone’s favorite agent, including mine, but damn has he been good for a lot of careers.
“a lot of careers” Really? Name some other than these two guys? I’m actually curious.
Ain’t gonna help
His 15 minutes ended a long time ago….
Like everyone, I’ve heard jaw-dropping stories about what a credit-grabbing asslicker Mutchnick is, and with no reason other than perhaps rage over his freefalling relevance since Will and Grace. But I’ve heard Kohan is the opposite. Like Hyde and Jekyll.
I wonder what WME is thinking.
Jay Sures fired Mutchnik + Kohan, after Danny Jacobson let them go from a horrible CBS show, “Good Advice.” That’s the superior taste of United Talent Agency.
