Born in Brazil, Guterman became  interested in comedy after watching "Saturday Night Live" and "The Kids in the Hall" when he moved to Montreal at age 7 —shows that, he said, "genuinely frightened me," as comedy in Brazil was mostly lighthearted in tone. Having become a writer himself, Guterman later described his profession in writing comedy by saying, "You’re doing this very creative, often very personal thing, but you’re expected to produce in this totally noncreative way. My job is to churn out comedy, which is this intangible and temperamental thing, but at the rate and consistency of an assembly-line worker.". After  establishing his television writing presence as a writer on "The Colbert Report" and receiving an Emmy, Guterman began work with Dan Harmon on "Community" for its fifth season. This relationship continued, and in 2015 Guterman went on to write for both the sixth and second seasons of "Community" and "Rick and Morty", respectively. He then continued work writing for "Rick and Morty"'s third season, writing the "Ricklantis Mixup" episode and assisting on several others. Guterman co-wrote "Morty's Mind Blowers," which is referenced within the episode as the replacement to "Interdimensional Cable". In addition to his television writing  career, Guterman has penned short pieces of writing called "New Optical Illusions" for "The New Yorker".
