Film and television

Schrab and long-time writing partner Dan Harmon wrote the 2006 feature film Monster House, along with Pamela Pettler.[1] They wrote the film based on a pitch they had originally made in 1998. It was Harmon and Schrab's first feature deal and launched their career in the movie business. He continued to collaborate with Dan Harmon, directing multiple episodes of Community.

Schrab worked as a writer, producer and director on three seasons of The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central. He also played the cross-dressing host of Cookie Party, Miniature "Mini" Coffee. Silverman wanted Schrab to play the character in the show after she saw him in "Thriller Chiller Theatre" (a short on Channel101.com)

Schrab was to mark his feature directorial debut with The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part[2] but he left the project in February 2017. He was replaced by Mike Mitchell as director in same month.

Other

Schrab is also a regular guest on the podcasts Fear Intiative and Harmontown.

"Schrabbing", the social media practice of deliberately asking "moronic and profoundly unnecessary questions", was named after Schrab by the comedy podcast "Harmontown".[3]
