Career[edit]

He later moved to Los Angeles and became the first Artistic Director of the theater's Los Angeles division for many years and was a member of the four-man sketch group "The Naked Babies" with comedians Rob Corddry, Brian Huskey, and John Ross Bowie. After stepping down from that position, he started out as the first staff writer hired by Funny or Die.[1]
He wrote and appeared with a recurring role on the Adult Swim series Childrens Hospital.

Other programs Morris appeared in regularly included Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the HBO sketch series Funny or Die Presents, and the MTV prank show Damage Control.

He has appeared in films such as The Dictator, Step Brothers, Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story, and I Love You, Man.
