From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David S. Rosenthal is one of the producers for the American dramedy, Gilmore Girls. Rosenthal is also a former producer for the American sitcom, Hope & Faith and the American sitcom Ellen.

Within a year, Rosenthal swiftly jumped from being a production assistant on Anything but Love to staff writer on the same show; then two years later, another jump, this time to a head writer position on Ellen; Rosenthal stayed for three years and then was reportedly fired. After a year-long stint developing sitcoms for Jeffrey Katzenberg, he was hired as a writer on the sitcom Spin City and was quickly promoted to showrunner.

Rosenthal married a fellow Spin City writer, Sarah Dunn, bought a house and a Porsche, and landed a lucrative $2.5 million contract with Fox Television. Though they divorced later on.
