He lived in London for four years when he was doing the show and lists McShane, Richard Vranch and Colin Mochrie among his best friends. After the show ended, he was recalled for the American version and was a frequent "fourth contestant".

On May 5, 2015, Proops released nonfiction book The Smartest Book in the World through publisher Touchstone.

The paperback version of the book was released from Touchstone on February 21, 2017.

In addition to his stand-up and improv acts, Proops has done voice work in various films and TV shows, including Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the miniseries Stripperella with Pamela Anderson.
