WGA West's top honor for television writing will be presented to Susan Harris at the 57th annual Writers Guild Awards ceremony next month. Harris will receive the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television in recognition for her contributions to the profession of television writing. Previous recipients include Steven Bochco, Larry Gelbart, Rod Sterling, Carl Reiner, David Kelley and, most recently, Loring Mandel. "Of all genres of writing, comedy is the trickiest act to pull off," WGAW president Daniel Petrie Jr. said. "Susan has made it look easy. Her ground-breaking contributions helped revolutionize TV's landscape and demonstrated that comedy can open minds as well as entertain." The honor will be presented to Harris on Feb. 19 as the WGAW awards dinner at the Palladium in Hollywood.
