Early life
[edit]Yvette Nicole Brown was born on August 12, 1971, in East Cleveland, Ohio.[1] She graduated from Warrensville Heights High School in 1989.[2] Brown studied communication studies at the University of Akron and graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in communication in 1994.[3][4] While at Akron, she was selected for initiation into Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honors Society. She was initiated into the University of Akron's Delta Pi chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority on May 2, 1993.
After graduating, Brown took acting classes in Hollywood, Los Angeles.[5]
Career
[edit]Brown appeared as "Yvette" in the music video "1-4-All-4-1" by the East Coast Family, a Michael Bivins project, for Biv10 Records.[6] Brown said of the experience, "It was a great run, but I guess music was just never meant to be for me."[7]
Brown first appeared on commercials before entering television shows and films a few years later.[8] She has since played roles on television shows such as The War at Home, Girlfriends, Malcolm in the Middle, That's So Raven, Half & Half, and the American version of The Office. She had a recurring role as theater manager Helen Dubois in the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh. Frances Callier replaced Brown as Helen for one episode. Brown reprised the role in the Victorious episode "Helen Back Again".[5] She provided the voice of Cookie on The Hub's Pound Puppies.
In 2009, Brown began starring as Shirley Bennett on the comedy series Community. On September 30, 2014, Brown announced that she would be leaving the show after five seasons in order to take care of her ailing father. In her announcement she said, "My dad needs daily care and he needs me. The idea of being away 16 hours a day for five months, I couldn't do it. It was a difficult decision for me to make, but I had to choose my dad."[9]
She has appeared in television commercials for Hamburger Helper, Big Lots, Pine-Sol, Comcast, Aquapod, Shout, Fiber One, Yoplait Yogurt, DiGiorno Pizza, Dairy Queen, and Time Warner.[8] She has appeared on episodes of The Thrilling Adventure Hour as "The Troubleshooter" in the Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars series.
In 2012, Brown appeared as a celebrity contestant on GSN's The Pyramid with her Community co-star Danny Pudi.
In 2014, it was reported that Brown was set to recur on the USA Network series Benched.[10] Shortly after her exit of Community, Brown's role of Dani on the CBS sitcom The Odd Couple was upgraded to series regular.[11] She has been a regular guest on AMC's Talking Dead. She hosts Syfy cosplay series Cosplay Melee. Entertainment Weekly named her one of the 19th Best Guest Stars on 7th Heaven.
In July 2018, Brown temporarily replaced Chris Hardwick as the host of Talking Dead and served as moderator for The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead panels at San Diego Comic-Con during Hardwick's suspension.[12]
Brown has had a recurring role as Judge Anita Harper on the HBO series A Black Lady Sketch Show which earned her a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. In 2019, Brown wrote the independent romantic comedy feature Always a Bridesmaid.[13]
In 2020, Brown was a guest panelist in season three of The Masked Singer.[14] She later competed in season twelve as "Showbird" with recurring panelist Joel McHale as her Mask Ambassador. Brown was eliminated on "Footloose Night".[15]
In 2023, Brown voiced KRS, a robotic assistant, and recurring character in My Dad the Bounty Hunter.[16]
Personal life
[edit]Brown was inducted into Warrensville Heights High School's hall of fame in 2009.[2] Brown served on the SAG-AFTRA 2019–2021 National Board.
In 2023, she got engaged to actor Anthony Davis.[17]
Politics

Brown endorsed and campaigned for Elizabeth Warren in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.[18]
During the 2020 general election, Brown, along with several of her Community castmates, made a campaign video in support of Joe Biden, entitled "Human Beings For Biden."[19]
In 2022, Brown worked with VoteRiders on a campaign to help educate people about local voter ID requirements so that eligible voters would not be turned away at the polls.[20]
Controversy
[edit]In May 2023, Brown sparked a backlash on social media when she appeared to use a special needs child to attack Catherine, Princess of Wales during Catherine's charity hospital visit.[21][22] Brown tweeted a photo of Catherine meeting with a little black girl who suffers from achondroplasia wearing a contorted facial expression, and the caption "Let this be a lesson: Black women come here KNOWIN'." The tweet was one of several by Brown claiming that black children and small animals dislike Catherine and display their disapproval when being photographed with her. Reacting to Brown's comments, supporters of the British royal family posted other positive photos of the same interaction and called Brown "angry and bitter" for using an ailing child to "fuel her hate filled narrative".[21][22]
