Hello. This is my first updated bio in quite some time. For that reason alone, I hope you enjoy it...

I was born on a day in Portland, Oregon. The year was 1981. I have the same birthday as Johnny Carson. As I  mentioned in my previous bio, I went on my first date when I was a child. My friend’s mom took us to see Joe vs. The Volcano. The first CD I bought with my own money was EPMD’s “Business Never Personal.” The first movie poster I hung in my room was “Deep Cover” starring Laurence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum. My first car was a 1986 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. It was 1999. I was a senior in high school and a Jew.

When I was 17, I started college in Los Angeles. When I was 18, I started doing stand-up. Coffee houses, youth hostels, and laundry mats later, and I eventually performed at a real club in front of people who weren’t there to not watch comedy.

First professional job: rapping with Dragon Boy Suede on late night television.

Second professional job: writing on BJ Porter and Scott Aukerman’s “The Offensive Show” (with pals and superstars Dan Mintz and BJ Novak)

Third professional job: two weeks as a waitress . Sort of fired.

Fourth professional job: writing on Crank Yankers

Crank Yankers led to my writing job on Jimmy Kimmel Live, my subsequent stand-up sets on that show, and my ability to buy a Honda Civic. Somewhere around this time (2004?) I performed on Premium Blend, and Last Call with Carson Daly. Bobcat Goldthwait cast me in his film, “Sleeping Dogs Lie,” (and later, in 2008, he cast me in “World’s Greatest Dad” starring Robin Williams). Both films went to Sundance. Bobcat is on of the best people you will ever meet. But you will probably never meet him.

Let’s see, what else…Kimmel has been good to me. Carson Daly, a man named “Premium Blend,” and the Starz network are some of the people and places that have also not hated me. I was a top 100 Jew in Heeb Magazine, and a Top 10 Comic in Variety. I’ve done festivals around the globe (many in the US, two in the UK, none in Vietnam).

I’ve loved touring with The Comedians of Comedy, and Aimee Mann’s Xmas Extravaganza. I’ve also loved watching documentaries and drinking whiskey alone at home. I’ve also also loved doing my live talk show, “Morgan Murphy Presents Jen Kirkman and Other Guests” at the UCB Theater in LA. Jen Kirkman is hilarious. If you don’t know her stuff, you should.

I’m currently writing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and doing a voice in a soon-to-air Nickelodeon cartoon called “Planet Sheen.” I got to film a SMALL part in the latest Dick Wolff pilot, “Lost & Found,” which was a mid-level dream come true because I’m a Law & Order junkie. All (both) of the pilots I’ve been in have not been picked up. That doesn’t bother me too much. I think that’s it. How are YOU?
