Merrill D. "Mike" Marmer (September 25, 1925 - January 12, 2002) was a screenwriter known for writing comedy material for American television programs in the 1960s and 1970s. He won one Emmy award and was nominated for one four other times between 1957 and 1973. He also won four Writers Guild awards and a Sylvania Award.

Might be able to use some pictures from the "Went With the Wind" sketch, though it was NOT written by Burns and Marmer.
