date of birth
editI don't know his real date of birth, but I think the one in the article is incorrect. For one, the source is hardly reliable. Second, I've heard him in interviews talk the a year he spent abroad at around age 21, around 1996. Third, in interviews I've heard he and Paul Scheer imply that they are more or less the same age, and Scheer is born in 1976 (a birth year that would line up pretty well with his year abroad story). Like I said, I don't know the true birth date, but the date stated in the article is suspect at best. 50.72.166.225 (talk) 03:40, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
twitter account
editHe reveals at the end of this podcast https://soundcloud.com/hdtgm/69-crocodile-dundee-in-los that he had a twitter account for 30 minutes, as part of John Daily's 2:30 show @zukes230. He managed to get over 400 followers before deleting the account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.209.144.234 (talk) 10:02, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
In the Heights
editThere is no reliable source on the assertion that Jason Mantzoukas co-wrote the Broadway musical In the Heights. The only citations on the Internet seem to be citing this very article, rather than any other source. Accordingly, I've removed the assertion from this entry.

References
Mother's maiden name
editThe article claims his mother's maiden name is Mourousas but the pertinent sources do not support that. Actually none of the sources makes ANY reference to that name. Mourousas by the way does not sound like a Greek name so I highly doubt this reference is accurate. Please verify and correct or remove.

Born in Nahant?
editnahant is a tiny place with no hospitals. i guess home birth is possible, but most nahanters are born in next-door lynn. his father is a doctor employed in lynn, in fact.
is it normal procedure to cite one's home address as place of birth, rather than hospital? i actually do not know.
i suspect the family did indeed live in nahant full-time but mother (and kid) were at lynn hospital the 2-3 days of actual delivery.
one source even says they LIVED in lynn at the time. i dunno about that, but fwiw:
