Early life

Buckley was born in Salem, Massachusetts, the son of Barbara J. (King) and Andrew P. Buckley.[1] He has two brothers, Fred and Bradford and a sister, Barbara (Bonnie). He attended Pine Crest School, where he graduated in 1983, and Stanford University, where he graduated in 1987 with a bachelor's degree in political science.[2] He later studied sketch comedy and improvisation at the Groundlings Theatre, working with comedians Melissa McCarthy and Dax Shepard.[3]
