As a composer, he wrote and performed music for comedian Louis CK's show, Louie, and created the theme songs for Key & Peele, Comedy Death-Ray Radio and Kristen Schaal's Penelope Princess of Pets. In 2010, Watts appeared on the Movie Network/Movie Central/HBO Canada produced Funny As Hell, a comedy series taped during the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, Quebec.
In the Adult Swim series Superjail!, Watts does voice-over work for one of the unnamed "Time Police" characters. The characters themselves are an homage to Cheap Trick's "Dream Police".
In 2012, Watts began starring alongside Scott Aukerman on the IFC series Comedy Bang Bang, based on the comedy podcast of the same name (formerly Comedy Death-Ray Radio). Also in 2012, Watts was in the Peter Serafinowicz-directed music video for the Hot Chip song "Night & Day".

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or video:
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
