The Whitest Kids U' Know ( WKUK ) is an American sketch comedy show starring a comedy troupe of the same name. The group consisted of Trevor Moore , Zach Cregger , Sam Brown , Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter, though other actors occasionally appeared in their sketches. They were accepted into the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in 2006 and won the award for Best Sketch Group.
The Whitest Kids began in 1999 when Trevor Moore , a young comedian from Charlottesville, Virginia , transferred to New York's School of Visual Arts film program. Moore previously produced a local TV sketch-comedy show in Virginia titled The Trevor Moore Show , which was picked up by PAX Network .
After making the rounds at local New York City comedy clubs , he eventually met fellow SVA film student Sam Brown [1] from Massachusetts and SVA Graphic Design student/actor Zach Cregger , from Arlington, Virginia. By chance, all three lived in the same dormitory. According to an IFC interview, Trevor Moore said the group's name originated during a freestyle rapping session on a subway when one of their friends said, "You guys are the whitest kids I know". [2]
