Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Hearon was born on January 24, 1995[3] and grew up in the rural town of Chillicothe, Missouri.[4] He was raised in a Christian household by his young, single mother and was an active member of his church.[5] Hearon also has an older brother, and a distant relationship with his (now deceased) father.[6] He recognized he was gay from adolescence and, as a result of his religion, struggled with his sexuality.[5] Hearon came out as bisexual, via a Facebook post, during college and later came out as gay.[7]

Hearon attended Missouri State University as a sociopolitical communication major with plans to eventually attend law school or another graduate program.[8][9] He joined the improv team which catalyzed his decision to pursue a career in comedy.[5] After graduating in 2017, he moved to Chicago with other members of the team.[1][10]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Hearon's professional comedy career began in Chicago, where he performed a weekly variety show at iO Theater as well as a stand-up show, At What Cost?, every month at Lincoln Lodge.[10] He later toured the showcase At What Cost? with fellow comedian and collaborator Holmes in Los Angeles and New York.[10]

He gained wider prominence in 2019 for his comedic Twitter videos, which are frequently up close and forward-facing.[5][9] While he had not previously used his social media accounts for comedy, he began to do so after auditioning for Saturday Night Live.[8]

Hearon has acted in supporting roles on Work in Progress and Fargo.[10] In 2020, he joined the writing staff for Human Resources, a Big Mouth spin-off series that premiered in March 2022.[8][11]

He co-hosted the Headgum podcast Keeping Records with comedian Shelby Wolstein up until October 2022.[12]

In June 2021, Hearon was announced as a series regular in the TBS pilot Space.[13] He co-created and co-wrote Best Buds with Caitie Delaney, an animated series in development at Peacock and produced by Bandera Entertainment.[14] He also appeared in the music video for MUNA's "Silk Chiffon".[15]

Hearon acted in the 2023 film I Used to Be Funny.[16] He and collaborator Holmes sold a comedy pilot about two queer friends living in Kansas City, Missouri.[17] It is in production with Jax Media and Our Lady J is the showrunner.[17]

In 2024, he appears as Palmer in Sweethearts alongside co-stars Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga, released November 28, 2024, on Max.[18] He also created the podcast So True with Caleb Hearon, which debuted February 2024.[19] So True became a Headgum podcast on October 17, 2024, and currently has over three hundred thousand YouTube subscribers.[20]

Hearon is the co-writer and star of the upcoming film Trash Mountain directed by Lilly Wachowski.[21] He is also a co-star in upcoming The Devil Wears Prada 2.[22]

In August 2025, Hearon would get a small boost in popularity after being featured on a Rolling Stone article about the 25 most influential creators of 2025.[23] The list would go largely unnoticed until MrBeast tweeted about his dissatisfaction with Caleb Hearon ranking higher than him. However, MrBeast would quickly delete the tweet and personally call Caleb to apologise.[24]

Hearon taped his debut HBO comedy special in Chicago in June 2025.[25] Caleb Hearon: Model Comedian premiered in September 2025.[26]
