He is a founding member of the sketch comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U' Know, alongside Trevor Moore, Zach Cregger, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter. The troupe had their own show on IFC, which ran for five seasons between March 2007 and June 2011.
Early life and education
[edit]While attending Sandwich High School, Brown made a movie for his calculus class as part of a group. Following through with his passion, Brown enrolled at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.[1]
Career
[edit]While working New York City comedy clubs, he met Trevor Moore, who also attended SVA and lived in the same dormitory.[1] The two decided to start a comedy troupe, joined shortly thereafter by mutual friend Zach Cregger. It was in that first semester in college that they created the Whitest Kids U’ Know. Brown since then has graduated with a BFA in film from SVA, and has served as an associate producer at ImaginAsianTV.[2] Brown, Moore, and Cregger were later joined by Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter.
In 2008, Brown and Williams guest-starred in an episode of the Adult Swim series Fat Guy Stuck in Internet. In 2019, Brown voiced Manny and Schmaaron in the Netflix series Twelve Forever. In 2021, Brown worked on the Cartoon Network series Tig n' Seek as a writer.
In May 2024, Brown posted a lengthy message on the /r/WKUK subreddit. In it, Brown made reference to censorship of slurs and other inappropriate content that was incorporated into the rerelease of The Whitest Kids U' Know content online. Brown expressed personal approval of the updated content guidlines and expressed reget at his past use of racial and other slurs in his work.[3]
