Moore died Friday evening in an accident. "This is a tragic and sudden loss and we ask that you please respect our privacy during this time of grieving," Moore's family said in a statement. Moore co-founded the sketch comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U Know, which had its own Fuse and IFC series from 2007 to 2011, with Zach Cregger, Sam Brown, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter. The troupe gained national attention when it won Best Sketch Group at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in 2006. In 2019, he launched The Trevor Moore Show on Comedy Central. He also co-created Disney Channel's Just Roll With It in 2019. "I love you Trevor," tweeted Ron Funches, who starred on The Trevor Moore Show. "WKUK forever.  Kind Weirdness forever.  Truly a special man. RIP. I’m so glad I at least got to talk to you for an hour recently. Im so grateful for that.  Universe please protect his family." Funches added: "I interviewed Trevor for my podcast just before I left for vacation. He spoke so much of his joy in being a family man and working in children’s entertainment while still making WKUK. He also gave me one of the greatest compliments I’ve received.  I am stunned sad and motivated." Moore's comedy career started as a teenager when he created his own show for a local TV station in Virginia. Before turning 20, he interned with Lorne Michaels at Saturday Night Live and entered NBC's page program, where he met his wife Aimee Carlson. He is survived by Carlson and their son August.
