Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi

Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi are American television creators, writers, producers, and screenwriters. They are best known as the co-creators of the Nickelodeon television series The Adventures of Pete & Pete.

After the success of Pete & Pete, McRobb was assigned to work on Nicktoons. He worked with Jumbo Pictures on Doug and served as story editor on The Ren & Stimpy Show, one of the most challenging periods of his career. He acted as a voice of reason between Nickelodeon executives and series creator John Kricfalusi, who viewed him as an obstacle to the series' creative process. Despite this tension, McRobb was highly influential in the production of the first two seasons, approving plots for critically acclaimed episodes such as "Svën Höek" and "Man's Best Friend" while writing the episode "Black Hole". Bob Camp considered him important to the series, noting that he provided constructive advice and improved on Kricfalusi's often overly crass ideas while receiving little credit.

McRobb went on to co-create KaBlam! and Radio Free Roscoe, and served as co-executive producer on Sanjay and Craig from 2013 to 2016. In 2020, he became executive producer on two animated series for Apple TV+: Harriet the Spy, an adaptation of the coming-of-age novel about a rebellious 11-year-old girl in 1960s New York City, and El Deafo, based on the Newbery Award-winning graphic memoir about a young girl who loses her hearing at age five.

McRobb and Viscardi collaborated as executive producers and writers on Costume Quest, an animated children's series that premiered on Amazon in 2018, and Click, Clack, Moo: Christmas at the Farm, an animated Christmas special that premiered in December 2017. McRobb was also a writer on the 2007 film Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Viscardi served as senior vice president of Nickelodeon Animation Studio until Ramsey Naito succeeded him. He remains at the network as a producer overseeing feature-length animated content, and co-wrote The Loud House Movie with Kevin Sullivan and Plankton: The Movie with Mr. Lawrence and Kaz.
