Jemaine Clement mini-bio: Clement spent his formative years in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. Moving to New Zealand's capital, where he studied drama and film at Victoria University of Wellington, Clement met fellow student Taika Waititi (AKA Taika Cohen) with whom he went on to form the Humourbeasts.
In 2004 the Humourbeasts toured New Zealand in a stage show titled "The Untold Tales of Maui", rewriting the traditional Maori legends of Maui. The duo were the recipients of New Zealand's highest comedy honor the Billy T Award in 1999.
It was also at Victoria University that Clement met Bret McKenzie, and together they formed Flight of the Conchords. They have toured internationally and released a CD, Folk the World Tour in 2002. In 2005 Flight of the Conchords appeared on HBOs "One Night Stand". Clement played himself in a six-part improvisational comedy radio program on BBC2 and appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Late Late Show. They are now starring in their own 12-part HBO series "Flight of the Conchords".
