After moving around the Midwest during his early years, Michael ended up in Wabash, Indiana– “The First Electrically Lighted City in the World.” He spent his formative years there, and then, after college, moved to Chicago to pursue a career in comedy and living at home with his parents.
Michael made his network debuts on The Late Show with David Letterman and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the same year. He followed that up with performances on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Comedy Central’s The Half Hour and most recently Conan. Currently you can see Michael as a contestant on NBC’s Last Comic Standing.
