On the DVD commentary for the West Coast version of the 30 Rock episode " Live Show", Tina Fey and Beth McCarthy Miller noted that Parnell was nicknamed "The Ice Man" while working at SNL, because of his apparent immunity to breaking character, citing the "More Cowbell" sketch in which he was the only actor not to break. He has performed raps about hosts Jennifer Garner, Britney Spears, Kirsten Dunst, and Ashton Kutcher. Among his notable sketches are " Lazy Sunday", a rap video he shot with Andy Samberg, and " More Cowbell". While on SNL, Parnell appeared in numerous sketches, and commercial parodies, and performed impressions of various celebrities. In the summer of 2001, because of budget cuts and the hiring of four new cast members, Lorne Michaels was required to dismiss two cast members he chose to lay off Parnell and Jerry Minor over Horatio Sanz, Rachel Dratch, and Maya Rudolph, but Parnell was rehired in the middle of the following season. He was promoted to repertory player the following season. He was hired to join the cast of Saturday Night Live as a featured player, and debuted on the show on September 26, 1998. While performing as a company player with the Groundlings for a number of years, Parnell began doing commercials and getting guest roles on various sitcoms, such as Seinfeld and Murphy Brown. He moved to Los Angeles and auditioned for the Groundlings in 1992. He became momentarily disenchanted with acting, and returned to his hometown and taught high school for a year. He moved to Houston, Texas after college to do an apprentice actor program for a season at the Alley Theatre, but did not get asked back to join the company. He attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts where he received his BFA in Drama.
