Weiner is the son of neurologist Howard L. Weiner. During his job writing for Futurama Ron has noted in the audio commentary of Spanish Fry that he tries to get Bender to dance in every episode he writes (on a more comedic end, he noted in the commentary for A Pharaoh to Remember that he starts off writing his scripts by thinking of a series of dance moves, then building the episode around them).
He has worked as a writer on the NBC comedy series 30 Rock. He was nominated for the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Comedy Series at the February 2009 ceremony for his work on the third season. Later, he contacted producers for his father's screenplay The Last Poker Game, which was released in 2017.
