Chuck Lorre (born Charles Michael Levine; October 18, 1952), is a very liberal American television director, writer, producer, and composer, and nicknamed the "King of Sitcoms" during the 2010s. Although born to a Jewish household, he changed his name, and has a very dim view of religion, which is especially apparent in his sitcoms The Big Bang Theory and its spinoff Young Sheldon with the character Sheldon Cooper.

He's also known for his vanity cards which he displays at the ending of each series episode, which often have him divulging his personal philosophies and views of life from a cynical point of view, which are generally part of the far-Left politically and socially.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]}

During his early life, he went to college only to drop out to pursue a career as a musician. Even before dropping out, however, he barely took his studies seriously and dabbled in drugs, claiming he "majored in rock 'n' roll and pot, and minored in LSD". He continued to have some drug problems, being an alcoholic and admitted while in recovery that he had "led a dissolute life until 47."^[15]

He was also notorious for causing friction on the set, including Roseanne Barr firing him from writing on her series Roseanne due to alcoholism and drug abuse, as well as Charlie Sheen's meltdown and Angus T. Jones' calling out Chuck Lorre's actions with the filming of Two and a Half Men.^[16][17][18]
