Andy Milonakis

Andrew Michael Milonakis, born January 30, 1976, is an American comedian, actor, rapper, and internet personality. He is best known for creating and starring in The Andy Milonakis Show, a sketch comedy series that aired on MTV and MTV2 from 2005 to 2007. He has also appeared in various other television series and films, including Kroll Show, Waiting..., and Adventure Time.

Milonakis was born in Katonah, New York, to a Greek-American family, with his father originating from Greece. He was born with a growth hormone deficiency, which gives him the voice and appearance of an adolescent. During his youth, he attended John Jay High School in Lewisboro and turned to humor and comedy as a defense mechanism.

Before entering the entertainment industry, Milonakis worked in tech support at an accounting firm in Manhattan. On January 26, 2003, he recorded a video titled "The Super Bowl Is Gay" instead of attending a Super Bowl party. After posting the video to AngryNakedPat.com, it went viral within two weeks, leading a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! to discover him and bring him onto the program.

Following several guest appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, host Jimmy Kimmel shared a DVD of Milonakis's clips with MTV2 executive producer Tony DiSanto. This pitch led to MTV greenlighting The Andy Milonakis Show in 2005. The series featured an absurdist format blending man-on-the-street segments, sketches, and celebrity appearances, ultimately running for three seasons.

In addition to his television work, Milonakis pursued music and internet content creation. He initially began rapping on YouTube, releasing a song titled "The Andy Milonakis Rap." He later formed the hip-hop group Three Loco alongside Dirt Nasty and Riff Raff, active until Milonakis announced the group's breakup on September 26, 2014. From 2014 to 2015, he hosted and starred in the Vice network YouTube series Fat Prince on Munchies, a cooking show where he collaborated with various chefs to prepare meals mixing inexpensive and high-end ingredients.

Milonakis also expanded into online streaming and emerging technology. He built a presence through Twitch livestreams, and in 2017 and 2018, he frequently collaborated with streamer Paul Denino (Ice Poseidon) and associated with his CX Network. In 2022, Milonakis partnered with Voiceverse, a blockchain startup focused on non-fungible tokens tied to artificial intelligence voice cloning technology. After residing in Los Angeles, California for much of his career, he relocated to Astoria, Queens, New York City in September 2021, and later moved to Austin, Texas in January 2025.
