Early life
Anderson was born in Sacramento County, California and attended Clayton Valley High School in Concord, California. He was ridiculed for his curly hair, so he shaved it off in 1998 due to peer pressure. He later moved to Los Angeles to work with improvisational comedy troupes such as The Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade. While working as a pizza delivery driver, he attended Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, where he met future co-star Adam DeVine.
Career
In 2006, Anderson formed the sketch comedy group Mail Order Comedy with Anders Holm, Adam DeVine, and Kyle Newacheck. He appeared on several episodes of the Fox show Traffic Light and has had small cameos in an episode of HBO's Entourage. He was also in National Lampoon's The Legend of Awesomest Maximus (2009) and an episode of the Fox show House. He has appeared on many YouTube shows such as Mail Order Comedy (for which he writes and produces all of the material) and Dungeon of the Nutsack. He starred on the Comedy Central show Workaholics between 2011 and 2017. He has had roles on Community, Arrested Development, and Loiter Squad. He also tours the country to perform his stand-up comedy. In June 2016 it was announced that Anderson, Devine, Holm and Newacheck are working on a film with Seth Rogen as producer.
Personal life
Anderson is an avid fan of the hip-hop music scene in the East Bay area, noting Lil B as one of his favorite performers.
On December 17, 2011, Anderson required surgery after fracturing his spine during a house party by jumping from his roof onto a beer pong table.
On September 7, 2012, Anderson married Rachael Finley. They have one daughter, Mars Ilah Anderson, born in 2014. The couple divorced in 2017.
