In 2012 Von became the host of Yahoo's TV recap show, Primetime in No Time, the most watched daily show on the internet, replacing former host Frank Nicotero.

In June 2012, Von's episode of The Half Hour premiered on Comedy Central, and he acted in his first film, InAPPropriate Comedy, which hit theaters in March 2013.

In the summer of 2013, Von hosted the new TBS hidden camera show Deal With It, executive produced by Howie Mandel.
