Matt Gourley
Matthew James Gourley (b. May 23, 1973) is an American actor, comedian, and podcaster best known for his work on the Superego, Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcasts, and Drunk History, as well as a stint as a spokesperson in US Volkswagen commercials. On Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend he's known for his banter (often poking fun at Conan O'Brien) with CONAF co-host Sona Movsesian and his comedic riffs and bits with host Conan O'Brien, which often include references to Presidents, retired game show hosts, film, and 20th-century-era TV shows
Matthew James Gourley was born and raised in Whittier, California, by his mother Welford. He grew up near Richard Nixon's childhood home. He was named after Marshal Matt Dillon, a character from the radio and television show Gunsmoke.
Gourley graduated from California State University, Long Beach, with a bachelor's degree in technical theater and an MFA in performance.
Gourley has acted in, directed, and worked on the technical side of productions in the Los Angeles area since the early 1990s, including as Curly in Of Mice and Men, Antipholus in The Comedy of Errors, Dogberry's henchman in Much Ado About Nothing, Orville in The Doctor In Spite of Himself, Hal in Loot, Brindsley in Black Comedy, the director of Tooth and Nail at the Little Fish Theatre, and as a set/lighting designer on The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). Gourley did video work and set design for multiple productions of Fellowship!.
Gourley began performing with ComedySportz in Los Angeles during elementary school. He met Jeremy Carter at a ComedySportz tournament in San Jose in the mid-90s. He spent years as an actor and improviser at various Disney theme parks along with Carter and Mark McConville, among others. Gourley has also performed at Second City, ImprovOlympic, and the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.
Gourley has taught theater and improvisation at Riverside City College, Long Beach City College, and College of the Canyons. He has also led workshops on Shakespearean improv at the Fracas! Improv Festival.
Gourley and Carter were founding contributors to Channel 101, producing and starring in the "retro futuristic action spectacular" Ultraforce. Ultraforce lasted three episodes and also featured Derek Mears, Jeff B. Davis, and Chris Tallman.
Gourley appeared in the late 90s on Kwik Witz, an Improvisational comedy program on NBC. At this time, he was one of the "mileage mules" employed by Steve Belkin, one of Kwik Witz' producers who later became a travel entrepreneur.
