Mallory Everton

Mallory Everton was born on September 20, 1989, in Portland, Oregon, to Bob and Colleen Everton. She is the youngest of their six children and has three older brothers, Travis, Zach, and Beau and two older sisters, Hailey and Melissa. Mallory is a devout Mormon.

She attended the Liberty High School in Hillsboro, Oregon and was the valedictorian of her class. After she graduated, she moved to Utah to attend the Brigham Young University. Her original plan was to pursue a medical degree and she enrolled in the university as a pre-med. However, she later changed her major and began studying film studies instead. She graduated in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Media Arts Studies with an emphasis in screenwriting, editing and directing. That year, she also received a scholarship from the Ray and Tye Noorda Foundation for her exceptional work in media arts fiction. She can play the guitar and is also a trained dancer.

While there are rumours and speculations that Everton is dating Matt Reese, a fellow ‘Studio C’ alumnus, nothing has been confirmed by either party. In fact, if anything, the statements that Everton and Reese and other members of ‘Studio C’ have made contradict the notion.

Mallory Everton loved watching TV shows and films from an early age. Despite being too young to watch ‘Saturday Night Live’ (1975-present), ‘Dumb and Dumber’ (1994), and ‘Tommy Boy’ (1995), Everton did exactly that with her siblings back in 1996. These films and TV shows helped her garner an appreciation for comedy. In 2012, she made TV debut in an episode of ‘Pretty Darn Funny’.

She went to see her best friend Whitney Call audition for ‘Divine Comedy’, a humour group at BYU, and then signed up as a videographer for the group. A year later, she herself gave a successful audition and became a member of the cast.

Matt Reese and Jared Shores created ‘Studio C’ in 2012 and many of their colleagues in the ‘Divine Comedy’ troupe, including Everton, soon joined them. Some of Everton’s most popular sketches are ‘The Smiths’, ‘Worst...Ever’, and ‘Bad Karma’. She also serves as the director and writer on the show.

In 2017, she made her cinematic debut in the comedy ‘We Love You, Sally Carmichael!’ Also starring Elizabeth Tulloch, Felicia Day, and Christopher Gorham, the film tells the story of Simon Hayes, a bitter, serious novelist, who uses the pseudonym Sally Carmichael to write a series of romance novels about a merman and a human girl.
