Schulz’s strategy of releasing his specials on YouTube and clips of his stand-up across social media platforms has become the new standard for comedians worldwide. He wrapped up a wild 2020 creating and starring in Netflix’s “Schulz Saves America,” taking on the year’s most divisive topics in a fearlessly raw and irreverent four-part special. The special was inspired by his weekly ‘Turn Your Phone’ rants, which exploded during the pandemic.
In the podcast sphere, Schulz’s wildly popular show, “Flagrant,” is viewed by four million devout fans weekly. He also co-hosts “The Brilliant Idiots” with legendary radio and television personality, Charlamagne Tha God.
Recent projects with Schulz as an actor include the remake of the classic streetball comedy, “White Men Can’t Jump,” which has him sharing the screen with Jack Harlow. He also appeared in Netflix’s romantic comedy “You People,” toplined by Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Schulz will soon be seen alongside Snoop Dogg in the MGM football comedy, “The Underdoggs,” and a drama titled, “The Thicket, starring Peter Dinklage.”
Nothing is off limits for Schulz, from culture to race to politics. His audiences are some of the most diverse among any working comedian, with fans vying to sit in the front rows of his shows to experience his merciless and masterful crowd work. There’s only one rule at his shows—everyone gets these jokes.
