Founded in 1967 by Simmons and fellow Diner's Club refugee Len Mogel, Twenty First Century was created to publish a "counterculture" magazine called Cheetah. While Cheetah failed, the partners had more success in the 1970s with Weight Watchers and National Lampoon magazines. Under Simmons' direction, National Lampoon's entire editorial staff was fired and replaced with his children (Michael Simmons and Andy Simmons), as well as Peter Kleinman and Larry Sloman.{{Citation needed|date=January 2018}} The magazine expanded into radio, theater, records and film.[2] Simmons's film credits include acting as the producer of National Lampoon's Animal House and the National Lampoon's Vacation film series. He has written seven books. His most recent, Fat, Drunk, and Stupid: The Making of Animal House, was published by St. Martins Press in 2012.[3] References1. ^[https://www.broadwayworld.com/los-angeles/article/SKETCHES-FROM-THE-NATIONAL-LAMPOON-World-Premiere-to-Play-Hayworth-Theatre-27-317-20130206-page2 SKETCHES FROM THE NATIONAL LAMPOON World Premiere to Play Hayworth Theatre, 2/7-3/17 Page 2] 2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/credit-cards/matty-simmons-interview/|title=The Man Who Sold the World on Credit Cards|date=2017-02-13|work=NerdWallet|access-date=2018-07-19|language=en-US}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.popmatters.com/157950-fat-drunk-and-stupid-2495855965.html|title=Fat, Drunk, and Stupid: The Inside Story Behind the Making of Animal House|date=2012-05-10|work=PopMatters|access-date=2018-07-19|language=en}} External links
