Early life

Weitzman was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, the son of lawyer Howard Weitzman and Margaret. He is of Armenian and European Jewish descent. He attended Emerson College, where he met best friend and collaborator Harris Wittels, but did not graduate.

He has appeared in television and film projects such as Burning Love, The Sarah Silverman Program, Childrens Hospital, Role Models, School for Scoundrels, Love, and Ocean's Thirteen.

In 2009, he starred in the Say Anything music video for "Shiksa (Girlfriend)". Alongside Wittels, Weitzman made his directorial debut in 2014 with the short film The Badger's Promise, which the pair also co-starred in as fictionalized versions of themselves. He co-starred as the servant Garfield in the Comedy Central show Another Period, and appeared as Jeff in Silicon Valley, as Ruby in Netflix's Love, and as Lorne Michaels in A Futile and Stupid Gesture.
