'Stanley Edwin Daniels' (1934 – April 6 2007) was a Canadian/American sitcom writer who won eight Emmy Awards for his work on ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' and ''Taxi''.
Born in Toronto to parents involved in vaudeville, Daniels earned a bachelor's degree and master's degree from the University of Toronto, then began studying for a doctorate from Oxford University.[1] His first television writing job was for ''The Dean Martin Show'' in 1956. There, he met his writing partner Ed. Weinberger.
Daniels' influence is noted in the "Stan Daniels turn," a joke setup where "a character says something and then does an immediate 180-degree shift on what he just said," according to ''The Simpsons'' producer Al Jean.[2] An example of this may be a man giving a speech and claiming that it is not a day for soundbites, then immediately goes on to say that he feels the hand of history on his shoulders.
Daniels had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia for years, and he died of a heart attack in Encino, California.[3]
