Wyatt Cenac was born in New York City. After three years of big city life he had enough
and moved to Dallas, Texas. Missing the big city life, Wyatt moved to North Carolina.
After four years, he realized he got on the wrong plane and moved to the big city of Los
Angeles where he would spend the next bunch of years doing comedy and getting into
debt.

While in LA, Wyatt spent three seasons as a writer on FOX's animated show "King of the
Hill" and also did stand up at shows like "Comedy Death Ray" and "The Tomorrow
Show." To avoid his debt collectors, Wyatt spent most of his time performing at the
Upright Citizens Brigade and Improv Olympic, where he did shows like "Rap Crisis
Center," "The Armando Show" and did a regrettably terrible Barack Obama impression
that found its way onto the Internet. In 2008, Wyatt starred in the film "Medicine for
Melancholy" which was nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards and lost all three
(Thanks a lot, "Synecdoche, New York").

Wanting to return to the big city he gave the finger to as a toddler, Wyatt moved back to
New York in 2008 to join the news team of "The Daily Show" as a correspondent and
writer. He forgot how cold it gets in the winter.

Most recently, Wyatt’s one hour stand-up special “Wyatt Cenac: Comedy Person” for
Comedy Central that aired in May 2011.
