ABOUT

 

As the Lead Editor for 40 outrageous episodes of Comedy Central's iconic prank show, Crank Yankers, Todd had the privilege of collaborating with an incredible team of filmmakers, puppeteers and comedians guided by showrunner, Jonathan Kimmel.

As lead editor, Todd delved deep into the footage to highlight and enhance the visual humor and he created preliminary composites to time out the VFX work. He also sound designed every segment he edited by building up layers of sound effects from library sounds to custom foley he created.

Todd and his editorial team’s efforts proved to be a resounding success. The Crank Yankers' relaunch marked Comedy Central's highest-rated series premiere since 2014. Additionally, star Wanda Sykes scored two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance for her portrayal of Gladys.
