Bo Fo Sho was Burnham’s debut EP. The six-track comedy album was released on June 17, 2008 by Comedy Central Records, and charted well across the Billboard charts.

In a June 2008 interview with Wired Magazine, Burnham described himself as:

still a kid in his bedroom, writing songs and playing them

and that if Bo Fo Sho were anything else,

it would lose the whole DIY effect of how I started out.

Burnham co-created, co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in a TV series called Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous in 2013 for MTV, although it was cancelled after 12 episodes, running from May 2, 2013 to June 29, 2013.

Another book, currently referred to as Untitled Burnham 1 of 1, is thought to be an autobiography with approximately 280 pages, which was set to be released September 2017, although no such book has been published.

His film Eighth Grade was released on July 13, 2018 to widespread critical acclaim and currently holds a 98% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
