Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, I moved to Los Angeles after graduating from college (later than most people do). Growing up, I was always obsessed with comedy and always, as the expression goes, the "class clown." I never realized you could get paid for being obnoxious and disruptive until I moved to L.A. and got a job on E!'s hit show Chelsea Lately—Hollywood dreams, they do come true! Since Chelsea Lately ended, I have toured with Dana Gould and Chris Hardwick and appeared several times on Comedy Central's hit show @midnight. I co-hosted the weekly show Almost Genius on truTV with my friend Chris Fairbanks. I've also published my own photocopied zine since the age of 14, and have kept a blog since 1997. I used to work for MTV and regularly contributed pop-culture pieces. What else am I supposed to brag about here? I created and hosted the popular Go Bayside podcast for nearly two years. I've seen Morrissey live over 100 times. I make pretty good mixtapes. I think being able to make ends meet by doing comedy and comedy-related things is really wonderful and enjoyable and I feel very lucky. (And did I mention I made lord of the underworld Glenn Danzig laugh once? As far as I know, this qualifies me for a Nobel Prize nomination.)
