Planets. After graduating from the University of North Texas with a BA
in Radio, Television, and Film, he spent time playing in bands and
eventually started working as an ADR engineer and production assistant

Why can't he find any Little Mac amiibo's? Why does the song “Tank!”
groove so hard? And for the love of everything, why do some people
think it is okay to just pick someone up? (I MAY BE HOBBIT SIZED, BUT
THAT IS NOT AN INVITATION TO “TAKE ME TO ISENGARD.”) An Improviser,
Ian will often divert from his regular comedy show and rant about
something more interesting, more frustrating, or sometimes he'll just
get distracted by something shiny. He's the greatest comedian ever.*
