Career
When working at Hot Press, Linehan and Arthur Mathews met. They were in charge of segments in sketch shows including Alas Smith and Jones, Harry Enfield and Chums, The All New Alexei Sayle Show, The Day Today, and the Ted and Ralph characters in The Fast Show, among other sketch shows. They continued their collaboration with Paris (one series, 1994), Father Ted (three series, 1995–1998), and the first series of the sketch show Big Train.
They also wrote the "Dearth of A Salesman" episode for the television series Coogan's Run, which featured Gareth Cheeseman. They were listed as one of the 50 most amusing television shows by The Observer in late 2003.
Linehan has written for other publications, including Brass Eye. Dylan Moran co-wrote the first Black Book series, a series to which Mathews also contributed. Linehan has also contributed to Blue Jam and its television adaptation Jam.
Linehan wrote and directed The IT Crowd, a Channel 4 sitcom in which he attempted to move away from the burgeoning British trend toward mock-documentary comedies. Unlike many other series of the time, it was shot in front of a studio audience. He received an International Emmy for The IT Crowd in November 2008. The Walshes wrote and directed The Walshes in 2013. He co-wrote the first series of the BBC sitcom Motherland and supervised its pilot episode.
Linehan and Mathews also revealed plans for a Father Ted musical in 2018. Linehan said he was still creating the musical and that it would conclude as they had planned it before the lead actor Dermot Morgan's death in 2021. Linehan said that the musical had been cancelled by producers following the scandal surrounding his views on transgender rights in March 2022.
Both Linehan and Mathews have made cameos in their programs. Two Irish TV producers, Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan), also appeared on the sitcom I'm Alan Partridge as two Irish TV producers considering a deal for Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan).
Linehan has appeared in "Good Luck Father Ted" and two episodes of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, as "I love books" Guy, "Flight Into Terror," "Cigarettes, Alcohol, and Rollerblading," and "Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep." In four episodes of The IT Crowd: Messy Joe's Restaurant Musician; the blind sorcerer; as an observer of the audience for Jen's address in series three, episode four; and as Beth Gaga Shaggy in series four, episode three. He appeared in the Never Mind the Buzzcocks round. He appeared in the pilot of Little Britain, as well as in episode four, as a bystander who is trying to hypnotize from a distance. During a interview with Prime Minister Michael Stevens (Anthony Head), he appeared in series one, episode five, in which he played Roy Sloan (from Whizzer and Chips). Linehan was one of the writers interviewed by Charlie Brooker in a special interview segment of Brooker's Screenwipe magazine, as well as Brooker's Gameswipe in 2010. Linehan appeared on Have I Got News for You in 2011 and again in 2012, and he made his debut as a guest on the BBC show QI's 11th series (K series) in 2013, earning a score of 19.
For RTÉ One, Wildfire Films produced a documentary about Linehan, his life, and his work. This film explored the art, craft, and fierce market of creating contemporary television comedy. The programme featured interviews with several of the country's top television comedians and performers, including Steve Coogan, Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Paul Whitehouse, Griff Rhys Jones, and Ardal O'Hanlon, some of whom have worked with Linehan. It was directed by Adrian McCarthy and produced by Martha O'Neill and Adam Rynne. Linehan appeared alongside many others of the cast in Channel 4's Father Ted Night, an evening of the writer's favorite episodes as well as two retrospective documentaries.
Linehan appeared on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on June 6th to discuss his adaptation of the Ealing comedy film The Ladykillers for the West End stage. Linehan took issue with Today host Justin Webb over what he felt was the attempted staging of an artificial argument between himself and critic Michael Billington during this appearance. In an article published in The Guardian, he later expanded on his remarks by saying, "I'm talking about the very specific, very sophisticated, very Today program style of a host deciding to represent the opposing sides of a manufactured argument." It is a binary representation of politics, of life, and, as a result, it is also a dishonest one. Anything will be better, so replace it with something – it could be anything.
In the 2012 Adventure Time episode "Goliad," Linehan's children were led by Linehan, who was instructing the kids while taking the producers' instructions over the phone. Linehan intended to write a sequel and showed off different versions of the tale to the production team. This episode was never planned after Adventure Time ended in 2018.
