Zuker has been under overall deals at 20th Century Fox TV, developing and selling multiple projects. “Danny is someone every showrunner and network wants to work with; He’s wickedly funny and his scripts are always as relatable as they are hilarious,” then-20th TV chairman Gary Newman said at the time of Zuker’s overall deal renewal in 2014.

Aside from his TV writing career, Zuker is known for engaging Donald Trump in a multi-year Twitter war in 2013, long before Trump launched his bid for the presidency. It spawned Zuker’s best-selling book, He Started It! My Twitter War with Trump, which was published last year.
Zuker is also repped by attorney Jeanne Newman of Hansen Jacobson.
