'''Jon Vitti''' is a writer who is most noted for his well-received scripts for the television series ''[[The Simpsons]]''. He has also written for the ''{{ap|King of the Hil|real world show}}'' and ''[[The Critic]]'' series, and has served as a consultant for several animated movies, including ''Ice Age'' (2002) and ''Robots'' (2005). He is one of 11 writers who worked on ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''.

He most recently co-wrote the live-Action/CGI animated adaptations of ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'': ''{{W2|Alvin and the Chipmunks|film}}'' (2007) and ''{{w|Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel}}'' (2009).

He is a graduate of Harvard University, where he contributed to the ''Harvard Lampoon''. Prior to joining the Simpsons show, he had a brief stint with ''Saturday Night Live''. He has stated on a DVD commentary that it was "a very unhappy year".

He is sometimes credited as "John Vitti".

He has also used the pseudonym '''Penny Wise'''. Vitti used the pseudonym for episodes "[[Another Simpsons Clip Show]]" and "[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]" because he did not want to be credited for writing a clip show as expressed on Simpsons DVD commentaries yet ironcially his name was credited for writing the first Simpsons clip show "[[So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show]]". The director of "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular", "Pound Foolish", has been revealed to be [[David Silverman]].
