Biography

Aukerman later added:

”I went to the Orange County High School of the Arts because that was the only place to do any kind of creative acting or anything like that; but it was very focused on sending people to Broadway.”

During high school, Scott hosted a public-access television show called Centurion Highlights, which was based on the school’s mascot.

While attending Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, Aukerman and fellow student B. J. Porter began writing together when they were both performing and scripting in a radio show called Lutz Radio.

In 1995, at the request of his friends, Porter and Scott started performing at The Comedy Store in LA under the moniker “The Fun Bunch.” This was a name that was meant to parody improvisation groups at the time.

Mr. Show co-creator Bob Odenkirk was in the audience and soon tapped Porter and Scott to write for and sometimes perform on the show in its 4th season.

After the show’s cancellation, Scott and Porter segued into writing television and film scripts, most notably the first draft of the film ”Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny” and ”Run Ronnie Run!.”

In 2007, Scott released a self-described “joke record,” Scott Aukerman’s Koo Koo Roo’s Greatest Hits.

In 2014, he started a limited-run podcast with actor Adam Scott entitled U Talkin’ U2 To Me?, which is ostensibly devoted to the career and discography of the band U2.
