Jake Farrow

Jake Farrow, born October 18, 1972, out in Marin County, California—yeah, that’s NorCal for the uninitiated—has carved himself a pretty wild path through the TV world. The guy’s got this knack for comedy that pops up in places you wouldn’t even expect. Most folks probably know him for his behind-the-scenes magic on iCarly. That show? Absolutely everywhere for a while. Kids quoting it, adults secretly watching, the whole nine yards. Farrow wasn’t just some background dude, either—he was right in the thick of it, shaping the jokes, tweaking scripts, making sure every episode snapped with that weird, offbeat humor that made Nickelodeon so addictive in the 2000s. But, hey, he didn’t stop with iCarly. Jump ahead a bit and he’s involved with Henry Danger, a show that—let’s be real—has no business being as funny as it is for something aimed at kids. The banter, the gags, those wacky situations? Yeah, a lot of that is Farrow’s fingerprints all over it. And if you thought the guy was boxed into just Nickelodeon, think again. Arrested Development. That’s right. The cult classic. The absolute crown jewel of dysfunctional family sitcoms. Farrow’s credits there? Just another flex on his comedy résumé. Off screen, he’s been married to Jennifer Sunderland since 2008, and they’ve got two kids. Not much scandal, just a dude who loves his family and happens to be hilarious for a living. Honestly, if you’re into that sharp, off-center comedy, odds are you’ve laughed at something Jake Farrow wrote—even if you didn’t know it.
