The show is produced by Ricky Blitt and Seth MacFarlane, who are also producers of ''Family Guy''. The working title of this series was ''Becoming Glen.'' A pilot was made for Fox in 2002 starring Johnny Galecki as Glen. It also starred Samantha Mathis, Gerald McRaney and Sally Struthers. The pilot was not picked up. However, the resurgence of ''Family Guy'' and the success of ''The 40-Year-Old Virgin'' in 2005 helped Blitt get a chance at making another pilot. At ''Family Guy Live'' in Montreal on July 21, 2007, Seth MacFarlane said "It is looking like there could be a future life for ''The Winner.''"
