When david wrote "chuckles Bites the Dust" in 1975, it was the first time anybody had attempted a comedy episode about a terribly tragic situation: the nervous giggles some people get in the midst of a funeral, out of an awareness that this is the one time you should never, ever laugh.rnOur director didn't want to do the episode because it was so sensitive, and the network wasn't for it either. But we said, "This is funny," and went ahead with it anyway. We had no idea how popular it would be. We were all praying just for acceptance, not for any cheers. But David's script won us an Emmy.
