John Early has the skills of a classic song-and-dance man and the pop-culture-drenched perspective of an alt comedian. A frequent collaborator with Kate Berlant, he shares her love of the intensely absurd and the profoundly meaningless while bringing a Broadway-inspired gloss of glitz and desperation to the endeavor. As Above Average’s celebrity correspondent, he's made out with Scott Adsit and asked Kate McKinnon if she’d rather “experience love or be a series regular on a multi-cam half hour.” Having cameo’d on 30 Rock and Broad City, he’s set to appear in the Netflix revival of the cult favorite Wet Hot American Summer.
