A biography for Kyle Mooneyhasn’t been written yet.
“A lot of my characters are people who are, in essence, lying to themselves. They present one thing, when in reality they're another thing. Maybe they're not as tough or as cool as they want to be.”
“I've always been kind of deep into thrifting and secondhand clothing.”
“One of the most positive takeaways I've had from 'SNL' is when we'd make videos back in the day: we'd just write material as we were inspired, and so, in a given year, we'd only put out two or three videos.”
“I immerse myself in things that meant something to me while I was growing up.”
“Generally, I'm attracted to videos that hit me some way nostalgically.”
“I definitely tried to skateboard in middle school, and being from San Diego, surf and skate culture is a big, prevalent thing. But I was not that good - I was kind of a chubby kid and didn't totally master skating.”
“I've got a massive VHS collection in my apartment. Some people think that it's not a good thing, but I find comfort in it.”
“I think, my first season on 'SNL,' I watched every single episode of 'Step by Step,' and a few years prior to that, I watched every single episode of 'Family Matters.'”
“I'm the youngest of three boys, and my oldest brother was super into Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton and played guitar. I wanted to be like him, so I asked for a guitar of my own for Christmas in '93.”
“I studied film studies at USC.”
“I am generally a nostalgic person and super into the pop culture that I grew up on - I've got a framed ALF poster above my bed and a Mickey Mouse poster, and I've got this big VHS collection.”
“I guess I always have been a collector.”
“I feel like I'm a relatively well-adjusted person.”
“My mother is a Trekkie, and we're from San Diego, so I was going to Comic-Con when I was, like, 7 years old.”
“I'm pretty deep into '80s nostalgia, specifically children's entertainment, so a lot of California Raisins, Garfield, Alf - that's kind of a lot of the clothes I have and cherish the most.”
“I'm always pretty influenced by stuff from when we were younger.”
“I am the youngest of three boys, and I was super-informed by what the older ones were into.”
“Whenever anybody says what you do isn't good, it's always unflattering and makes me feel uncomfortable. But when the person who's in charge of the United States of America says, 'Not good,' I'm like, 'Oh.' It's a little unflattering.”
“It's always exciting to create a character that people can relate to, where people are like, 'Oh, I know this dude,' but maybe you've never actually seen this type of character on TV.”
“When I was a kid, I was really into the shows my older brothers were into. I got all the action figures handed down to me, but I couldn't go to the store to buy new ones because they were discontinued; they didn't exist anymore.”
