Jordan David Morris is an American writer of television and comics, podcast personality and actor. In 2000, While attending UC Santa Cruz, Morris co-hosted The Sound of Young America radio show on the college station KZSC-FM along with Jesse Thorn, and Gene O'Neill. After graduation, Thorn and Morris started the comedy chat podcast Jordan, Jesse, Go! which would become the flagship show of Thorn's podcast network Maximum Fun.[1]
Starting as a production assistant on Living with Fran and The Ellen DeGeneres Show,[2] Morris worked on various comedy web series including Terry on Game Shop, Cotton Candy Randy on Good Mythical Morning, and segment producer on The Daily Habit on the cable channel Fuel TV.
In 2013 Morris started writing for the comedy quiz show @midnight, and soon became regular writer on animated shows such as Unikitty!, Jellystone, and the Jim Henson Company production Earth to Ned.
In 2018 Morris released the podcast Bubble, a scripted sci-fi horror about monster hunters who live in a bubble city. Morris adapted the eight part podcast into the 2022 graphic novel of the same name, which earned two Eisner Award nominations, and is in film development.[3] Drawing on his personal experiences attending youth ministry in the 1990s, Morris wrote Youth Group in 2024.[4]
Since the release of these graphic novels Morris has contributed to Archie, and IDW anthologies, and new Venom and Predator series from Marvel Comics.
