John Derevlany Bio

(as of August 2009)

John Derevlany has been an investigative reporter, professional ukulele player, and a crime-fighting chicken named Crackers.  He has also created, developed, or written for more than 80 TV shows -- many of which were actually good!  Here's a big, dumb list of almost every TV or film project he's worked on.

Shows he created or developed include Wayside (Nickelodeon/Teletoons), Monster Buster Club (YTV/Disney XD/TF1/Jetix Europe), Gerald McBoing Boing (Cartoon Network/Teletoons), and Animal Jam (Discovery Kids/Jim Henson).  He was most recently Story Editor/Head Writer for Kid Knievel (a.k.a. Kick Buttowski) on Disney XD, and he wrote the pilot for Doki Adventures on Discovery Kids Latin America.  

Derevlany is also known for his role writing and performing  "Crackers the Corporate Crime Fighting Chicken" on Michael Moore's TV Nation (Fox, NBC), as well as being a co-founder of the seminal punk-rock ukulele band, Uke Til U Puke

He currently lives in Culver City, CA, with his family including Ava, Ian, and wife Kim (seen here on their wedding day outside a muffler shop in Van Nuys).
