Early life

Mooney was born in San Diego, California, to parents Linda (Kozub) and Brian Mooney. Linda is a former San Diego Union-Tribune reporter and Brian is an environmental consultant and planner. Kyle has two brothers, Sean and Ryan Mooney; he is the youngest of the three.

His Marshall Middle School class chose him as the most likely to become a T.V. star. He graduated from Scripps Ranch High School in 2003 where he won Best Actor as Prospero in Shakespeare's The Tempest and was hailed as class clown.

Mooney studied film at the University of Southern California. There, he performed improv and sketch comedy with collegiate group Commedus Interruptus. After a six-week audition process in 2003, the three new members added to Commedus were Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, and Nick Rutherford.

Career

Good Neighbor

In 2007, Mooney, Bennett, and Rutherford came together to form the sketch comedy group Good Neighbor, along with Mooney's friend, director, and editor, Dave McCary.

In 2014, Good Neighbor was featured on New Media Rockstars' Top 100 Channels, ranked at #98.

Bennett and McCary joined Mooney on SNL in 2013 (as a performer and director, respectively), and Rutherford was hired as a writer the following year.

Saturday Night Live

On September 28, 2013, Kyle Mooney made his debut on Saturday Night Live as a featured player along with Beck Bennett, John Milhiser, Mike O'Brien, Brooks Wheelan, and Noël Wells. Out of all of the new cast members announced, only Mooney, O'Brien, and Bennett returned for a second season. At the start of the forty-first season, Mooney and Bennett were upgraded to repertory status.

Mooney has brought some of his YouTube characters to SNL, including his person-on-the-street interviews, Chris Fitzpatrick, Todd from Inside SoCal, and Bruce Chandling.
