Early life
editMilonakis 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
editOn 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, he 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.
Throughout 2017 and 2018, Milonakis was heavily involved with livestreamer Paul Denino, better known as Ice Poseidon, appearing in his livestreams and associating with his CX Network.
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" in reference to the Crew Dragon Demo-2 launch during the George Floyd protests and the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]
Personal life
editAfter having lived in Los Angeles, California, for much of his career, Milonakis currently lives in Astoria, Queens, New York City.[14]
