He was also the voice of Buck the Dog on Married...with Children (except for several episodes in which Buck was voiced by Cheech Marin). In the sixth season episode "Psychic Avengers", Curran appeared briefly onscreen during the end sequence where, thanks to Madam Inga's curse, the Bundy family is turned into monkeys and Buck is turned into a human, in which Curran is credited as "Buck the Man" above the usual final credited character of "Buck the Dog". In addition to writing episodes and voicing Buck, Curran served as a story editor and supervising producer on Married...with Children.

Curran attended Harvard College, where he was an editor of the Harvard Lampoon. He subsequently wrote for the National Lampoon and was the Editor of the Letters and Cartoon sections. He next wrote for Late Night with David Letterman for which he won three Emmys. He wrote Letterman's first "Top Ten List", "The Top 10 Things That Almost Rhyme With Peas". In 1989, he joined Married...with Children and in 2000 he joined The Simpsons where he is currently a Co-Executive Producer. At The Simpsons, Curran has won three additional Emmys and was nominated in 2010 for a Humanitas Award for his episode "The Greatest Story Ever D'ohed".

Curran was Co-Creator and Executive Producer of the shows The Good Life and Hardball. He was also an Executive Producer on the series Unhappily Ever After with Ron Leavitt from 1997-1999. He won a WGA Award for The Earth Day Special.
