At the time, Fuse and IFC were both part of Rainbow Media. Then former head of Fuse programming, Jennifer Caserta, left to become the General Manager of the IFC network and brought the Whitest Kids along with her to IFC. The group considered walking away from the pick up order over the new content restrictions. However, due to what Fuse perceived as extreme comedy, the second season order came with limitations on content. It was an instant hit for Fuse, and the show was immediately picked up for a second season.
The first season of The Whitest Kids U' Know premiered in March 2007. Production of the first season took place in New York City, during the summer of 2006. In early 2006, Biederman and the Whitest Kids sold the show to the Fuse network after the Whitest Kids won the Best Sketch Group award at the Aspen Comedy Festival. In 2005, the group began working with noted comedy producer Jim Biederman. Starting in 2003, the reinvented troupe started touring the various comedy venues in New York City, concluding in early 2005 with a well-attended show at Caroline's, a famous stand-up comedy club in Times Square. Darren Trumeter, an actor and filmmaker who had worked previously with Cregger, was then added that same year. Finally, in 2003, as Moore approached graduation, the group separated officially from the school, and all but Moore, Brown, Cregger and Williams left the troupe.

The Whitest Kids U' Know held near-monthly free shows at SVA's amphitheater, which would frequently fill to capacity. Timmy Williams also joined in late 2001 and was the only member at the time who did not attend SVA. During the early years, WKUK included Jon Kovel, Oliver Lyons, Jordan Cooper, Anthony Mair, and singer Tina Tiongson. The troupe started off as an officially sanctioned club at School of Visual Arts. According to an IFC interview, Trevor Moore said the group's name originated during a freestyle rapping session on a subway when one of their friends said, "You guys are the whitest kids I know". By chance, all three lived in the same dormitory.

Moore previously produced a local TV sketch-comedy show in Virginia titled The Trevor Moore Show, which was picked up by PAX Network.Īfter making the rounds at local New York City comedy clubs, he eventually met fellow SVA film student Sam Brown from Massachusetts and SVA Graphic Design student/actor Zach Cregger, from Arlington, Virginia. The Whitest Kids began in 1999 when Trevor Moore, a young comedian from Charlottesville, Virginia, transferred to New York's School of Visual Arts film program.
