Biography

His first project, "The Trevor Moore Show" was canceled after 11 months due to offensive content.

At the age of 12, he became the world's youngest published cartoonist with his book "Scraps".

He toured the country when he was a kid with his parents, Mickey and Becki, as they performed and recorded original evangelical music.

In 1997, at the age of 15, Moore strode into the office of Charlottesville Public Access Television, took a class, got some friends together, and began working on the show that became possibly the biggest cable access hit in Charlottesville and that made the creator of The Trevor Moore Show something of a household name.

The WKUK success on the Internet and live shows led to an invitation to 2006 HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. The Whitest Kids did not disappoint, winning the award for Best Sketch and attracting the attention of many Hollywood executives.

We had a home in Louisa County, but we basically lived on a bus until I was 8 or 10. When you're in a new town every night, you have to make friends fast, so you try to be funny.

I was bored a lot, he recalls, and I started writing jokes because there was really nothing else to do.

I was a huge David Letterman fan, even going back to when he was on NBC. My parents would only let me watch a half hour of television a day, so I would record Letterman the night before and then watch it when I came home from school. That's what made me want to do a TV show.

We would call one of the hundreds of Shiffletts in the phone book and, for example, I'd tell them I was from a gay pride organization, thanking them for their donation, and saying I wanted to get the spelling of their name right because there was going to be a big color ad in the Daily Progress. They'd get furious and say, 'I'm gonna sue you!

I got a lot of hate mail for that. People said that it was mean, offensive, that I was making blanket statements, which I was. But most people got that it was a joke.
