During all-night Saturday Night Live writing sessions, Sarah Silverman often stole underwear and socks from a cache of fresh clothes Maxtone-Graham kept in his office and wore them in lieu of her own clothes.

Maxtone-Graham has become somewhat infamous among The Simpsons fans for a 1998 interview with The Independent, in which he admitted that he had “barely” seen The Simpsons before being hired, ridiculed “the beetle-browed people on the internet” for their criticism of the show, and dismissed women as being unsuitable to be writers on the show. Although he upset many fans with his comments, Maxtone-Graham has won six Emmys for his work on The Simpsons, and received an Annie Award for writing “The Seemingly Neverending Story”.

One of the episodes written by Maxtone-Graham is “E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)”, in which Homer grows a tomato-tobacco hybrid called “tomacco”. The episode was widely acclaimed from viewers and critics alike. Notably, it inspired an Oregon man to make his own version of tomacco by grafting a tomato stem with a tobacco root. He eventually gave some to Maxtone-Graham, who ate it.
