He has studied and performed regularly at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in NYC and LA and co-hosted the stand-up show Welcome to Our Week with Jessi Klein.

He is well known as a performer for his characters such as Bobby Bottleservice, who has been featured in a number of online videos for the Funny or Die website, including the Ed Hardy Boyz and an audition tape for the MTV show Jersey Shore . Other characters include Ref Jeff and Fabrice Fabrice, and Gil Faizon of The Oh, Hello Show , who he created with writing partner John Mulaney. His character work features prominently in Kroll Show , a sketch comedy show on Comedy Central. Kroll was honored with the Breakout Star of the Year award from the 2013 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The Oh, Hello Show

Kroll toured the U.S. alongside John Mulaney in a show called Oh, Hello , with both in character as Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland respectively. The show premiered on Broadway on September 23, 2016 and ran for six months to positive reviews. The Broadway performance was filmed and released on Netflix in 2017. [11]

Television

Kroll's first significant career success came when he co-starred in the ABC sitcom Cavemen, based on the Geico-insurance TV-commercial characters. Although the show was cancelled after seven episodes, he called his role "the most important experience of my professional career". [12] He went on to VH1's Best Week Ever , and to guest-starring roles on Parks and Recreation , Community , Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt , and New Girl . He made appearances on numerous Comedy Central series such as Reno 911! , [13] John Oliver's New York Stand Up Show , and The Benson Interruption , both performing as himself and in character.[ citation needed ]

Kroll had a recurring role on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim. His voice work includes the character Stu on the HBO animated series The Life & Times of Tim , as well as Andrew LeGustambos, the flamboyant, bisexual drama teacher in the animated Fox comedy series Sit Down, Shut Up . [14] voiced to sound like a "modern day Snagglepuss", [14] [15] and as Reuben Grinder in the PBS Kids GO! series WordGirl .

In 2017, Kroll co-created, wrote, and starred in Big Mouth , an animated television show on Netflix. [16] The show features the experiences of a group of 7th graders in the throes of puberty.

Film

Kroll starred in A Good Old Fashioned Orgy and had supporting roles in comedy films such as Sing , Dinner for Schmucks , Date Night , Get Him to the Greek , Adventures of Power , and I Love You Man .

In 2016, Kroll's first villain role was a vaginal douche in the adult animated film Sausage Party . Originally, he played Douche's voice in a British accent, but the team wanted to make a Pixar-like film instead of a Disney Renaissance-like film.[ citation needed ]

In 2017, Kroll then had a second villain voice role as a villainous mad scientist Professor Poopypants in the DreamWorks animated superhero film Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie . Although many critics only either mentioned his character in passing, some pointing out his similarities with Albert Einstein, [17] [18] [19] or his "committed" performance, [20] [21] Matt Zoller Seitz took particular note of his performance, praising it as "irrepressibly silly" with "an orange juice spit-take voice". Seitz further stated that "[t]he way Kroll savors every syllable of his alternately peevish, self-pitying and nonsensical dialogue—aided mightily by the animators, who've given the character a fireplug body and a waddling walk—transforms the ridiculous into the sublime." [22] In recent years, Kroll has taken several non-comedic acting roles, such as that of Bernie Cohen in Loving and Rafi Eitan in Operation Finale , both historical drama films.[ citation needed ]

Book

In 2005, Kroll published a book, Bar Mitzvah Disco, cowritten with Jules Shell and Roger Bennett. [23]

Personal life

In May 2013, Kroll began dating comedian and actress Amy Poehler. [24] They ended their relationship in 2015. [25]

Kroll's brother-in-law is journalist Roger Bennett. [30] Through his wife, his cousin-in-law is fashion designer Joseph Altuzarra. [31] [32] [33]

Before the general election in 2020, Kroll and other celebrities participated in the #IDCheck Challenge from VoteRiders to raise awareness about what identification voters need to cast a ballot in the election. [34]
