Early life

[edit | edit source]

Morril was born in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York City.[3] In a 2024 episode of the We Might Be Drunk podcast, Morril said that according to his 23andMe test, his ancestry is "a lot of Ashkenazi Jew" and "twelve percent" Turkish.[4] Morril was known as Sam Greenberg before his mother married his stepfather, and Morril took his surname.[5] He has two step-siblings.[6] Through his biological father, whose surname is Elgort, Morril is the nephew of fashion photographer Arthur Elgort and the cousin of actor and singer Ansel Elgort.[7] He attended Tulane University in New Orleans before graduating from New York University.[8][9]

Career

Morril was named one of Comedy Central's "Comics to Watch" in 2011 and has worked with comedians including Dave Attell, Marc Maron, Conan O'Brien, and Amy Schumer.[10] He worked as an intern on The Colbert Report and later appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in April 2016.[11] He has also made multiple appearances on Conan since 2014.

His first one-hour special, Positive Influence, was released by Comedy Central in September 2018.[12] His second one-hour special, I Got This, was released via Comedy Central's YouTube channel in February 2020.[13] He is a regular on Comedy Central's This Week at the Comedy Cellar, performing frequently when not on tour.[citation needed] He had a cameo appearance as a comedian at an open mic night in the DC thriller film Joker (2019).[14] He appeared on the Netflix series, That's My Time with David Letterman.[15] He co-hosts the weekly podcast We Might Be Drunk with comedian Mark Normand.[16]

In 2025, Morril performed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, an event which Human Rights Watch characterized as an attempt by the Saudi government to whitewash its human rights abuses.[17]
