Chris Duffy Biography

Chris Duffy is a comedian, television writer, and radio/podcast host. Aside from his comedy prowess, Duffy is also recognized for his hosting role on TED's popular podcast, "How to Be a Better Human," where he explores unexpected paths to self-improvement, offering sharp insights and fresh ideas for how we can show up for one another. His presence in the media is substantial, with appearances on "Good Morning America," ABC News, NPR, and National Geographic Explorer. His writing skills were also put to good use for both seasons of "Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas" on HBO, a show executive- produced by John Oliver.

Duffy's creativity is not just confined to television and radio. He forged a partnership with LabX at the National Academy of Sciences to create and host the innovative streaming game show "Wrong Answers Only." As part of this unique show, three comedians are tasked with guessing the daily activities of a leading scientist.

In addition to his work in the media, Duffy is also an accomplished live performer. He has entertained audiences in a wide range of venues, from the grandeur of a sold-out Lincoln Center to the intimacy of a walk-in closet (also sold out). Beyond his entertainment career, Duffy also has experience in education, having been both a fifth-grade teacher and a fifth-grade student.
