Comedian, Actor & Host Known for his Role on "Wild 'N Out"

Cortez Macklin is an American comedian, actor, and host. As of Season 12, he is one of the recurring cast members of the improv comedy show Wild 'N Out on MTV and VH1.

Macklin is a stand-up comedian and actor from Chicago. He revealed in an interview with "DJ Small Eyez" that he was adopted as a child due to his biological parents being drug addicts. He's been doing stand-up comedy for over a decade, hitting the stage for the first time at age 14.

Comedy became a passion after Macklin joined a youth program called "Phat Kids Comedy", which was run by Tyler Perry’s very own Quincy Bonds. From there, Macklin learned how to better develop his writing and improv skills. After graduating from the program, he's since known that comedy is his life's passion. In February 2019, he starred in a online series titled "The Real Dumbass World," which is available on the Zeus Network.
