In a smooth, soul-deep hum, Craig Robinson—our beloved sparkplug of comedy—stepped onto Instagram this week and dropped a truth bomb. In his trademark laid-back cadence, the fifty-three‑year‑old Office legend simply said:
“I am quitting comedy… it’s been an amazing run, y’all have been amazing and wonderful, but I’m following something bigger. So thank you so much. I love you, and stay tuned.”
Now, that’s Carey Harrison meets Maxwell Scott in tone—warm, introspective, and dripping with quiet confidence. Craig didn’t spill the beans on what’s next—but hinted he’s diving into small‑business territory and could use some tips. He confessed:
“Turns out having a dream and building a business with your friends are two VERY different things. … any help would be huge.”
So, is he pivoting toward entrepreneurial life? Maybe preaching? Or laying down soulful grooves with The Nasty Delicious? Time will tell—but one thing’s certain: This isn’t a goodbye, it’s an evolution.
Craig’s announcement hasn’t got that flash-news energy—it’s more like a late-night piano disclosure in a smoky Jazz club. There’s introspection, a sense of calm purpose, and a voice that says: “I’m done with one chapter, now let me tell you about the next.” You can practically hear the soft pedal under his words.

Craig Robinson, you gave us Darryl. You gave us laugh‑tears in Hot Tub Time Machine and soul‑stirring grooves with The Nasty Delicious. Now you’re chasing something bigger, and honestly, bruh—we got your back.
