Yount was born in Virginia. From 2004 to 2012, he and his brother Clay produced a webcomic, Rob and Elliot, for the Boxcar Comics collective.[1] He first performed stand-up comedy in Blacksburg and Washington, D.C., later moving to Los Angeles.[2] His first experience in television was as a consulting producer and performer on Ridiculousness.
