Cregger, along with the troupe, garnered great success while performing live in New York City at LES music venue Pianos and on the internet.

The Whitest Kids U' Know ran for five seasons first on FUSE and then on IFC.[7]

In 2008, Cregger made his first film appearance in Deb Hagan's directorial debut College, starring alongside Drake Bell.

He directed his second feature film with Moore called The Civil War on Drugs. It had a limited theatrical release and was ultimately aired during the fifth season of WKUK.[4] Afterwards, he toured with the WKUK and performed in live shows. He has participated in several independent movies.

Cregger joined the cast of the NBC sitcom Friends with Benefits, which began airing on August 5, 2011. He then starred on the NBC sitcom Guys with Kids, which aired for one season in 2012–2013.[8] Cregger next starred in the TBS show Wrecked.
