Jack Barth is a writer who wrote a freelance script for The Simpsons which became "A Fish Called Selma" (the season seven episode where Troy McClure marries Selma to help his failing movie career due to alcoholism, poor project choices, and the rumors that he does sexually weird things to fish after an unnamed incident at the Springfield Aquarium).
Quoting from an article on UPROXX where he was interviewed about the movie "Yesterday":
