Charles Duncan Trussell was born on April 20, 1974. He gained initial recognition as a stand-up comedian, touring nationally with Joe Rogan. This collaboration extended to television with Trussell appearing as Rogan’s sidekick on the SYFY series, “Joe Rogan Questions Everything.” His early career also involved writing and appearing in sketches for various television shows, including two seasons of “Stupidface” on Fuel TV, “La La Land” on Showtime, “Nick Swardson’s Pretend Time” on Comedy Central, and both seasons of HBO’s “Funny or Die Presents.” These roles established him as a versatile performer and writer in the comedy landscape.
Trussell continued to expand his presence in television with appearances on “MADtv” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” He hosted “Thunderbrain,” a comedy science pilot for Comedy Central, and lent his voice to animated series such as Cartoon Network’s “Adventure Time.” His comedic storytelling was also featured on Comedy Central’s “This is Not Happening” and in five episodes of the Emmy-nominated “Drunk History.” Beyond performing, Trussell contributed to the writing and consulting for Jason Sudeikis’s hosting duties at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, further demonstrating his range in the entertainment industry.
A significant career turning point for Trussell came with his foray into podcasting. In 2010, he co-hosted “The Lavender Hour” before launching his own successful podcast, “The Duncan Trussell Family Hour” (DTFH), in 2012. The DTFH became a platform for conversations on spirituality, consciousness, and fringe theories, attracting a large audience with over 1,000,000 downloads per month. This podcast served as the foundation for “The Midnight Gospel,” an animated Netflix series that he co-created with Pendleton Ward, the Emmy-winning creator of “Adventure Time.” In this series, podcast interviews were adapted into story dialogue, with animation added to create a high-concept postmodern sci-fi sitcom. Most recently, Trussell has taken on the role of Hippocampus in the Fox animated series “Krapopolis.”
