Mikey Day recently completed his ninth season as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” after joining the show as a writer in the 39th season.
During his first season as a cast member, Day gained recognition for his wildly popular “Haunted Elevator (ft. David S. Pumpkins)” sketch with Tom Hanks as well as his Donald Trump Jr. impression. Day also co-wrote and starred in the viral sketches “Beavis and Butthead” and “Washington’s Dream.”
Day has appeared in Netflix’s “Unfrosted” and “Hubie Halloween,” Universal’s “Little” opposite Issa Rae, and the Amazon comedy “Brittany Runs a Marathon” opposite Jillian Bell. Additionally, Day and his writing partner Streeter Seidell co-wrote the 2021 comedy “Home Sweet Home Alone” for 20th Century, starring Ellie Kemper, Rob Delaney, Pete Holmes, and Kenan Thompson. The duo is currently writing the Disney reboots of “Inspector Gadget” and “Space Camp,” as well as “The Rugrats Movie” for Nickelodeon/Paramount.
Previously, Day was a member of the Groundlings comedy troupe in Los Angeles and Nick Cannon’s MTV comedy series “Wild ‘N Out” for seven seasons. He was also a head writer on Cartoon Network’s “Incredible Crew,” co-head writer and cast member on NBC’s “Maya & Marty” and co-writer for the 2016 comedy “Brother Nature.”
