Overview
Greg Miller (born April 27, 1983) is an American media personality who came to prominence as a former editor and video host for the entertainment website IGN. He is the co-founder and CEO of the entertainment company Kinda Funny, and has been employed by WWE as a host since 2022.
Early life
Miller was born in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, on April 27, 1983. Growing up, he was very interested in video games and dreamed of writing for Electronic Gaming Monthly or GamePro. He was the editor-in-chief of both of his high school's newspapers. In 2005, he graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, where he earned a degree in journalism and wrote for the Columbia Missourian, becoming the editor-in-chief Tom Warhover's go-to writer for video game content.
Career
Miller started his career at the Columbia Tribune in 2005, after he was unable to find a job writing about video games. There, he was a general assignment reporter working the weekend nightshift and covering everything from politics to sports to tragedies. In 2006, he convinced the paper to give him his own column called Game Over to write about video games in addition to the difficult subject matter of his general assignments.
Miller joined IGN in 2007. Miller was a frequent cast member and host on the IGN audio-video podcasts Game Scoop! and Podcast Beyond. Miller gained popularity with IGN fans hosting a video show called Up At Noon.
Miller started his YouTube channel GameOverGreggy in 2012, and he and IGN co-worker Colin Moriarty were allowed to produce content as long as it wasn't about video games. In 2013, they rebranded the channel to Kinda Funny, and produced a weekly show called GameOverGreggy, alongside fellow IGN colleagues Nick Scarpino and Tim Gettys. In 2014, they started a patreon to fund their side project. Miller and his castmates left IGN on January 5, 2015, to found a company named after their YouTube channel.
