Early life

Milonakis was born in Katonah, New York, to a Greek-American family. His father was born in Greece.[4][5] Milonakis was born with a growth hormone deficiency, causing him to have the appearance and voice of an adolescent.[6] He attended John Jay High School in Lewisboro.[7] Milonakis turned to comedy and humor as a preemptive defense mechanism.[8]

Career

On January 26, 2003, the day of Super Bowl XXXVII, Milonakis decided not to attend a friend's Super Bowl party and instead recorded a video titled "The Super Bowl Is Gay". He posted the video to the website AngryNakedPat.com, and within two weeks it went viral. A writer for ABC's new late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, spotted it and got Milonakis on the program. At the time, Milonakis was working as a tech support staffer at a Manhattan accounting firm.[8][9][10]

Milonakis first started rapping on YouTube; his first song was called "The Andy Milonakis Rap". He was in Three Loco, a group that also included rap artists Dirt Nasty and Riff Raff, but on September 26, 2014, he announced that the group had broken up.[11]

From 2014 to 2015, Milonakis hosted and starred in a cooking show called "Fat Prince" on Munchies, a YouTube channel that is part of the Vice network.[12] In each episode, Milonakis and a changing cast of chefs combined cheap ingredients with expensive ingredients to make a unique meal.

In December 2016, Milonakis announced he was joining the Baited podcast, with YouTubers Anything4views and Keemstar.

On May 30, 2020, Milonakis tweeted the eighth-most-liked tweet of all time on Twitter, writing "Congratulations to the Astronauts that left Earth today. Good choice" referring to the Crew Dragon Demo-2 launch during the George Floyd protests and the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]

Personal life

After having lived in Los Angeles, California for much of his career, he currently lives in Astoria, Queens, New York City.[14]
