Matt Maiellaro in a 1999 episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast called "Table Read."

Matt Maiellaro (pronounced "mah-lare-oh") is the co-creator and writer of the cult television animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Prior to working on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Maiellaro produced and wrote for Space Ghost: Coast to Coast since its inception in 1994. Maiellaro's writing partner and friend Dave Willis started writing for Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1995 and have since made short independent films together (notably the live action short A Day Off, which is about a Michael Myers puppet and what he does when he takes a day off from murdering). In 2000 Maiellaro and Willis created Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which was actually an indirect spinoff from Space Ghost Coast to Coast. As of January 2006, Maiellaro and Willis are working on a full-length feature film of Aqua Teen Hunger Force which was reportedly due out Fall 2006, though as of January 2007, only the film trailer has been released.
