Knight’s career was not only in a good place but his star was on the rise. After writing for a string of hit shows — from Netflix’s critically acclaimed raunchy comedy Big Mouth (where he also voiced the character DeVon) to ABC’s beloved Black-ish — Knight segued to co-creating, executive producing and starring in Peacock’s new streaming series Bust Down.

Starring opposite his team of co-creators Chris Redd, Sam Jay and Langston Kerman, the series followed a group of friends working low-wage jobs at a casino in Gary, Indiana. Bust Down debuted in March. Also with Jay, Knight worked on the HBO series Pause with Sam Jay as a co-executive producer and writer.

Knight, who recently wrapped filming Chelsea Peretti’s feature directorial debut First Time Female Director, frequently toured with his stand-up act across the globe. He appeared in a half-hour Netflix special that aired in 2018 as part of The Comedy Lineup series.

More to come.
