His first full-length, ''Bo Burnham'', was released the following year. In 2010, Burnham's second album was released and ''Words Words Words'', his first live comedy special, aired on Comedy Central.

He is the youngest of three children; his siblings Pete and Samm are currently enrolled in their third and second years at Cornell University and Suffolk Law School, respectively.〔 Burnham graduated from St. John's Preparatory School in 2008, where he was on the honor roll and involved in theatre and the campus ministry program. The school's assistant principal remarked, "()he Bo on YouTube is not the Bo we see around here, () no one at St. John's is surprised at his creativity or that he's pursuing his dream, which is to make a name for himself." Burnham graduated from St. John's in the spring of 2008.〔〔 Burnham applied to University of Southern California, Yale University,〔 and was accepted to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Although expected to begin attending in autumn 2008, he deferred his enrollment for a year to focus on his burgeoning media career.〔 Burnham said that his first year on tour while friends began college made him want "to fucking die. I'd be on the road, in South Dakota, looking on Facebook at all my friends at parties." In a 2011 interview, Burnham said that he had a "girlfriend for five years". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bo Burnham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
