Mallory: Haha, I think I sort of gravitated toward comedy without realizing it. I never really thought I'd write comedy until my sophomore year in college when I got into BYU's Divine Comedy, and I've become a propagator of clean comedy ever since. I feel like the more I saw, the more I appreciated comedy. I've always loved SNL (earlier seasons, that is), The Simpsons and, later, The Office when I was in high school.
My mom loved Carol Burnett and shared that love with me. Whitney: Well, like I said, Carol Burnett was a big presence in our household growing up. Gavin: What first got each of you interested in comedy, and what were some early influences on you? I came to BYU with an eye to medical school, but found myself neck-deep in the film program by my sophomore year. Mallory: Well, I grew up in Portland, Ore. She thought I was a bit crazy pursuing this, but after a paycheck came in, she started to appreciate comedy more. I’ve been married two and a half years to my beautiful wife.
I graduated from BYU with a bachelor's in biology but decided that acting and sketch writing is far superior then pulling teeth, no matter how much those guys make. I have five brothers and no sisters (my poor mother). Jason: I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. I love sad movies (or any movies, for that matter), grape juice, and Carol Burnett, and I'm getting married in May. Whitney: I am graduating, this month, actually, with my master's in creative writing, so I'm trying to get a couple young-adult novels published when I'm not writing sketches. Things that I think are pretty great: elephants, The Beatles, peanut butter, very large sailing ships, games, Chicago-style pizza and probably other stuff. Matt: I grew up in Phoenix, and I don't tan. Gavin: Hey, everyone! First thing, tell us a little bit about yourselves.
