Andrew Michael Milonakis (born January 30, 1976, in Katonah, New York) is an American comedian who plays the role of a pre-pubescent boy on his television show, The Andy Milonakis Show. His fame began as an Internet phenomenon, rising when he released home webcam recordings of freestyle rhyming, silly and funny videos, and short films on the Internet previously credited to angrynakedpat.com, which aren't hosted there any longer. Some of these include "Crispy New Freestyle" and "The Super Bowl is Gay."
Milonakis has been compared to the Star Wars Kid and has since built a following, including comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who recruited him for regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live on television 2003–2004. Milonakis was also featured in a 2005 film, Waiting..., also starring Ryan Reynolds, Dane Cook, Justin Long, and Anna Faris. He has been a frequent co-host on the syndicated radio show Loveline with Dr. Drew Pinsky (from the radio station KROQ) ever since former co-host Adam Carolla left in November 2005.
Milonakis has a congenital growth-hormone condition that gives him the outward appearance and voice of an adolescent boy, when he is in fact a grown man. Early in life he was subjected to frequent prejudice in reference to his disorder, but he has strong hopes for biology to provide a cure. Contrary to popular belief, Milonakis was not the Man Show boy, a smart-mouthed boy who frequently appeared on The Man Show.
In 2005 he recorded a hip hop song “Like Dis” together with his friend, J-Kwon.
