I graduated from Oregon and was part of the SOJC’s New York Experience program. A few specific things I can remember making me want to do it professionally were the Chappelle's Show’s "Wayne Brady Sketch," Zoolander’s "What is this, a center for ants?" joke, "Step Brothers," "30 Rock" and "The Colbert Report." I come from a big family where everyone is very into comedy. I visited the University of Oregon, and it looked like it was "Lord of the Rings," so I was like, "All right, let's do it." Plus, the football uniforms were really cool. I knew I would eventually end up in either Los Angeles or New York, so I wanted to live somewhere completely different from that. I studied journalism with an emphasis on advertising. I went to the UO from 2011 through 2014 and graduated early because I'm a nerd. What did you study at the University of Oregon? After that, the rest of his future seemed to fall into place. From there, Hamilton got to write material for the Al Smith dinner, during which Hillary Clinton roasted Donald Trump with Hamilton’s joke. How do you go from helping start a standup club in college to writing with legends like Tina Fey, Robert Carlock and Mike Judge? First-generation Mexican-American comedy writer Brandt Hamilton '14 has done it all, and he got his start at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication.Īfter graduating from the UO, Hamilton dove into the NYC comedy scene, eventually landing a job at advertising agency Big Spaceship.
