Trevor Moore

A story I forgot to tell:

At the end of 2016, I became addicted to the sketch show “The Whitest Kids You Know”. I binged all the seasons on YouTube, and then a few seasons with narration. Then Trevor’s crazy talk show (recommended), and his extensive music career. The obsession lasted about a year.

Cut to 2020, I’m post surgery, wheelchair bound in a neurology B at Tel Hashomer when I discover that Trevor is gathering the gang to start streaming on Twitch. Twice a week (at least) between midnight and 1 am, I would watch them run gags, watching their old sketches, once or twice they even accidentally improvised a sketch live (google “bet you can’t get me”). They even started role-playing and it was incredibly chaotic. Trevor even responded to me on Twitter once about a tribute song to WKUK that I recorded a sketch for.

 In 2021, I woke up one morning after watching  Trevor and Zach Cregger’s show – Newsboys – the night before, to a WhatsApp message from Adam Robson, who asked if “I heard what happened?”. I hopped around news sites and the WKUK Discord and discovered that Trevor had been killed (domestic accident, fell off the balcony – but it took about a month for that to be corroborated).

The dude created so much art that made me cry of laughter, and then one morning he just disappeared, leaving behind a child with special needs and a widow. 

My father had passed away about two years before, and then too – one of the tools I used to deal with grief was writing songs, the kind that stay deep inside a drawer. 

With Trevor, I felt the need to grieve with the community, so I recorded the tribute again, and after the positive response – I wrote and recorded two more songs about him. Every now and then – to this day – I still get comments on them that melt my heart. 

 Zach Cregger just came out with a new movie called “Weapons” that was written while he was grieving Trevor, and it’s an awesome horror movie, and successful, and it basically brought me back to reflect on the whole ordeal. 

They’re a going to release WKUK’s last project, with Trevor dubbing characters, this year – WKUK’s Mars.

At the time, I was deep in my own mess, cocooning away. But now that I’ve returned to humanity, I see no reason it shouldn’t be out there, even if in a slightly rough around the edges version on YouTube.
