## Career

Kinane's first television appearance was on *[The Nanny](/source/The_Nanny)* playing "Young [Roger Clinton](/source/Roger_Clinton,_Jr.)".[citation needed]

His debut album *Death of the Party*, recorded at the [Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre](/source/Upright_Citizens_Brigade_Theatre) in Los Angeles and released in 2010 on [Aspecialthing Records](/source/Aspecialthing_Records), was met with critical acclaim.[2] Kinane was named in *[Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine))'*s "Ten Comics to Watch in 2010".[3]

Kinane has had a longstanding relationship with the cable channel [Comedy Central](/source/Comedy_Central), including serving as the voice for their on-air announcements from 2011 until 2018.[4] His first *[Comedy Central Presents](/source/Comedy_Central_Presents)* half-hour special was on February 25, 2011. Other Comedy Central programs on which he has appeared include *[Drunk History](/source/Drunk_History)* (on which he retold the story of the [Haymarket affair](/source/Haymarket_affair) and the [Voskhod 2](/source/Voskhod_2) mission while drunk), the game show *[@midnight](/source/@midnight)*, which he won seven times,[5] and the 2014 animated series *[TripTank](/source/TripTank)*.[6]

Kinane's first stand-up comedy DVD special, *Whiskey Icarus*, was released in 2012. His second stand-up DVD special, *"I Liked His Old Stuff Better,"* was released in 2015.[7]

Kinane has performed his stand-up on television programs *[Last Call with Carson Daly](/source/Last_Call_with_Carson_Daly)*, *[Live at Gotham](/source/Live_at_Gotham)*, *[Conan](/source/Conan_(talk_show))* and *[The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon](/source/The_Tonight_Show_Starring_Jimmy_Fallon)*. He has opened for comedians [Patton Oswalt](/source/Patton_Oswalt) and [Daniel Tosh](/source/Daniel_Tosh) on tour.

He has appeared on many audio and video [podcasts](/source/Podcast), including *Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker*, *[Quorators](/source/Quorators)*, *[Comedy Bang!
