Through his biological father, whose surname is Elgort, Morril is the nephew of fashion photographer Arthur Elgort and the cousin of actor and singer Ansel Elgort. He attended Tulane University in New Orleans before graduating from New York University.
Morril was named one of Comedy Central's "Comics to Watch" in 2011 and has worked with comedians including Dave Attell, Marc Maron, Conan O'Brien, and Amy Schumer.

In 2025, he performed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, an event which Human Rights Watch characterized as an attempt by the Saudi government to whitewash its human rights abuses.
