He created or co-created the sitcoms Father Ted (1995–1998), Black Books (2000–2004), The IT Crowd (2006–2013), and Count Arthur Strong (2013–2017), and has contributed to other comedy shows, including The Fast Show, The Day Today, and Brass Eye.

Linehan has won five BAFTA awards, including two awards for Best Comedy for Father Ted and one for Best Writer, Comedy, for The IT Crowd. In 2008, he was awarded an International Emmy for The IT Crowd.

Linehan became involved in anti-transgender activism after an episode of The IT Crowd was criticised as transphobic. He argues that transgender activism endangers women and has likened the use of puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics. As quoted in The Telegraph, Linehan says his views have "consumed his life", lost him work, and ended his marriage.
