- Ron Funches signed with Artists First for management, while he continues to be represented by CAA, WME for comedy touring, and Cohen & Gardner.
- Eat Cookies & Die is Funches's second hour-long stand-up special, following his 2019 Comedy Central special Giggle Fit; it debuts on Gorilla Comedy+ on November 2 and reaches YouTube on December 1.
- The Kellys is a new Brad Peyton action film from Amazon MGM and Thunder Road that casts Funches alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Liam Hemsworth.
- The Traitors featured Funches as a fan favorite in Season 4 on Peacock.
- Ron Funches has voiced three films and four spin-off series across DreamWorks' Trolls franchise, alongside projects including Inside Out 2, The One and Only Ivan and Harley Quinn.
- Hexed, Disney's supernatural animated fantasy, is Funches's next voice role and is due out November 25.
- The Eric Andre Show credits Funches as a writer, along with Kroll Show and several television pilots.
Why it matters: Artists First gains a comedian with a November 2 Gorilla Comedy+ debut, a December 1 YouTube release and a new Amazon MGM action-film role. For Funches, however, CAA, WME for comedy touring, and Cohen & Gardner remain in his representation lineup, so the move adds an affiliation rather than replacing those relationships.
