Scott Aukerman spent his childhood in Orange County, California, where he went to High School of the Arts, from which he graduated with a major in musical theater and theater. Later, he concurrently attended Orange Coast College and The Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts.
Scott’s professional career began as he became a performer on a musical theater tour. However, in 1995 he started performing with B.J Porter under the name “The Fun Bunch” at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, where they were spotted by Bob Odenkirk, who was one of the creators of the “Mr. Show”, who soon asked them to write for the show. Their collaboration led to an Emmy nomination in 1999, so Scott’s net worth began slowly to rise, as his career developed further, and he soon switched to writing scripts for films, the most notable being “Run Ronnie Run” (2002), and “Moral Orel” (2007). He also received “additional dialogue” credit for the 2004 film “Shark Tale”.
In 2002, Scott and Porter created an alternative comedy showcase, entitled “Comedy Death Ray”, which became an immediate success. They performed every Thursday at M Bar in Los Angeles, and recorded and released “Comedy Death Ray” in 2007, which further added to Scott’s overall net worth.
From the beginning of 2000, he became more focused on comedy shows, eventually parted ways with Porter, and then renamed the Comedy Death Ray to “Comedy Bang! Bang!” in 2011. However, before they split, Scott created a podcast under the name of “Comedy Death Ray”, in the beginning airing on the Indie 103.1 radio, but later switching to the Earwolf Network, a podcast website. It was made available for download from iTunes, and has been downloaded several million times. However, Scott changed the name of the podcast as well when Porter left, and two years later the show was named The Best Podcast Of The Year for 2013. He continues successfully to host “Comedy Bang! Bang!”, which has become the main source of his net worth since its creation, thanks to the popularity of the show.
When it comes to his personal life, Scott Aukerman has been married to actress Kulap Vilaysack since 2008; the couple doesn’t have any children. In his spare time, he is active on Twitter, on which he has over 200,000 followers.
