Born to Willie and Irma Coleman and the youngest of three, Korey Coleman grew up loving animation and eventually got into
University of Texas hoping to major in film making, but eventually dropped out. While there, however, he met fellow artist and future co-host, Martin Thomas who took an interest in his comic strip
Eddie the Albino Squirrel. One of his classmates was future
Chowder and
Harvey Beaks creator
C. H. Greenblatt, where they both worked on the school’s newspaper. Coleman also attended school with Russell Neal of the R&B group
Hi-Five. Coleman was also an assistant animator during the production and making of
Space Jam.
Warner Bros. needed help finishing the project so they hired a team of animators which included Korey. "When they hired us to do effects animation for the movie I wasn't allowed anywhere near the project. One day, though, the team was so behind they pulled me on to do one shadow of
Tweety Bird, who in that particular scene is hooked up to an iron lung. I guessed they figured 'it's simple enough that even he can't screw that up'. It probably took ten minutes to do, but I still received a place in the closing credits, right up there with people who had spent weeks working on the film." Coleman reiterated his credit as an "assistant animator"; admitting he was not necessarily assisting, more so he supplied additional work. He also denounced
IMDb's claim that he worked on
Quest for Camelot, humorously stating, "I've never been to Camelot". Coleman started a cable access series called
The Reel Deal. The show reunited him with Martin and also brought on fellow reviewers Chris Cox,
C. Robert Cargill and Tony Guerrero. During this time, Coleman had directed and starred in a movie called
2 A.M. as a way of expanding his film making capabilities. Coleman grew bored of doing an access show and figured the next step would be to expand on a wider level. Taking the preexisting audio from their reviews, Coleman animated over them for comical effect. Cox had posted the videos online where they were seen by
Hollywood.com. After meeting the heads of the site, Coleman formed Spill.com. The site ran from 2007 to 2013 with
Saving Mr. Banks being their final review. Cox left to start
OneofUs.net, Cargill continued his career as a
screenwriter and Tony retired from podcasting to become an actor, appearing in
Alita: Battle Angel as a henchman (although he does return for a few special occasions). The character of Co-Host 3000 is owned by Hollywood.com. Coleman decided to start a
Kickstarter in launching a new site. The initial goal was $30,000, but by the end they earned $133,860. From there, DoubleToasted was created. ==Personal life==
