According to Kroll (via NowThis Entertainment), he was a "late bloomer" and actually did get "pantsed" in his front of his childhood crush, a life moment that is recreated in Big Mouth.

The duo co-created the series with Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett, and based the comedy on embarrassing real life-tales.

Big Mouth also includes a diverse supporting cast of teenage characters, including Jessi Glaser (Jessi Klein), Missy Foreman-Greenwald ( Jenny Slate, Ayo Edebiri), Jay Bilzerian (Jason Mantzoukas), and Matthew MacDell (Andrew Rannells). The Netflix comedy doesn't shy away from edgy and gross-out humor, as the writers embrace the scary nature of puberty through supporting characters such as Maury the Hormone Monster (Kroll), Connie the Hormone Monstress (Maya Rudolph), and Tito the Anxiety Mosquito (Maria Bamford), to name a few. As the boys try to understand their changing bodies, their classmates are also going through their own growing pains. Set in New York, Big Mouth follows two young teens called Nick Birch (Kroll) and Andrew Glouberman (John Mulaney). As it turns out, Big Mouth is a tale of two stories - one about Kroll's upbringing, and one about the modern puberty experience. Is Big Mouth actually based on the life of Nick Kroll? The American actor co-created the series and voices a character called Nick who is loosely based on himself - but as the hormone monsters and other surreal elements suggest, Big Mouth isn't a straightforward autobiography.
