Biography
Michael Swaim is an American actor, comedian, filmmaker, podcaster, and writer. While attending the University of California, San Diego, he became a columnist for the humor website Cracked.com, and after graduating from college in 2007, he joined with Abe Epperson to co-found the internet sketch comedy troupe Those Aren't Muskets. Along with Epperson and another frequent collaborator, Daniel O'Brien, he spent the late 2000s establishing a video department for Cracked. His subsequent tenure as Head of Video for the website produced several viral web series that he and O'Brien often starred in; these include the Webby Award-winning After Hours and the Streamy Award-winning Agents of Cracked.
Known For
After Hours is the fullest expression of what Cracked does best: dissect the minutiae of pop culture for comedy. In the Webby-award-winning monthly show, Cracked Staffers sit around at a diner way too late at night (and for way too long) and argue over a variety of topics ranging from which fictional apocalypse would be the most fun to why Batman might secretly be terrible for Gotham. Down some coffee and join us as we obsess over movies, comics, TV shows and more forever.
