Griffin McElroy Biography

Griffin McElroy is an American podcaster and former video game journalist. He is known for his work on podcasts such as "My Brother, My Brother and Me" and "The Adventure Zone," as well as for co-founding the video game journalism website Polygon. In 2017, Forbes named him a "30 Under 30" media luminary.

McElroy's journalism career began in 2007, when he began working as the weekend editor for Joystiq. During the 2008 United States presidential election, McElroy also acted as MTV's local journalist for his home state of West Virginia. He departed Joystiq in 2012 in order to found Polygon along with his brother Justin McElroy and Christopher Grant, going on to later become a senior video producer for the site. During his tenure, he oversaw a large volume of video content for the site, including their Monster Factory series and several let's plays. In 2018, Griffin and Justin both announced their departure from Polygon, in order to focus on their podcasting careers and families.

Since 2010, Griffin McElroy, along with his brothers Justin and Travis, has co-hosted the comedy podcast "My Brother, My Brother and Me," an "advice show for the modern era" hosted as part of the Maximum Fun network. The brothers also starred in a 2016 TV show based on the podcast, which originally aired on Seeso.

In 2014, the McElroy brothers launched a tabletop role-playing game podcast entitled "The Adventure Zone." Initially playing Dungeons & Dragons, the show moved into other game systems in later arcs. Griffin McElroy acted as the Dungeon Master for the initial 69-episode Balance arc, and later took on the similar role of "Keeper" for the Powered by the Apocalypse based Amnesty arc. Griffin McElroy also composes much of the original soundtrack for the series. The first sub-arc of "The Adventure Zone: Balance," named "Here There Be Gerblins," has been adapted into a graphic novel, published by First Second Books, with a sequel set to follow the plot of the second sub-arc "Murder on the Rockport Limited" coming soon.

Griffin and his brothers also co-host a yearly podcast with Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery, released every American Thanksgiving since 2015, called "Til Death Do Us Blart" where they review the film "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2." The brothers also host the documentary podcast "The McElroy Brothers Will Be in Trolls 2," which ultimately resulted in the announcement that all three were set to make cameo appearances in the film.

Since 2017, Griffin McElroy has also co-hosted the podcast "Wonderful!" with his wife, Rachel.The two had previously hosted another podcast named "Rose Buddies."

McElroy has appeared as a voice actor in several animated TV shows, including "Clarence." He also provided voice commentary for the 2017 video game "100ft Robot Golf," alongside his brothers. In 2018, McElroy appeared as a guest voice actor for the animated comedy series "Big City Greens," portraying a pepper merchant. He later appeared as a guest in the fourth season of We Bare Bears.
