Cole's road to stardom differs from the path most have taken to strike gold within the entertainment industry. After a stand-up appearance on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" in 2009, Cole was offered a job as a staff writer for the show and quickly became known for his hilarious appearances as a commentator on the show.

In 2010, he was nominated for his first EMMY and Writers Guild Award along with the other writers of "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" and he was named one of the "Top 10 Comedians to Watch" by VARIETY. In 2011, he received his second Emmy Nomination for his work with the writers of TBS', "CONAN." In 2013 Cole went on to star in his own show for TBS entitled, "Deon Cole's Black Box."

Currently, Cole appears as "Charlie" on ABC's, "Black-ish" and will soon be one of the lead roles in TBS', "Angie Tribeca," which stars Rashida Jones and was created by Steve and Nancy Carell. He also recently guest starred on USA's, "Benched," and has been featured on FX's, "The League," "Wild N' Out with Nick Cannon," as well as the films, "Barbershop 1 and 2."
