Andrew Michael Milonakis (born January 30, 1976, in Katonah, New York) is a Greek American comedian who plays the role of a pre-pubescent boy on his television show, The Andy Milonakis Show, which is now mostly played on the MTV2 channel. He has a congenital growth-hormone condition that gives him the outward appearance and voice of a pre-adolescent boy.
Milonakis has started a non profit organization for those suffering from this condition. The purpose of this organization is to increase awareness of this disease and to find newer and better treatments for the condition. The organization is called Andy's Hormonally Deficient Kiddo's.[1]
Milonakis' fame began as an Internet phenomenon after he released home webcam recordings of freestyle rhyming, humor videos, and short films. Some of these include "Crispy New Freestyle" and "The Super Bowl Is Gay." He has built a cult following, including comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who recruited him for regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live on television 2003–2004. Contrary to popular belief, Milonakis was not the Man Show Boy, a smart-mouthed boy who frequently appeared on The Man Show; that character was played by Aaron Hamill. He also pays to the Ronald McDonald fund for sick children.
Milonakis was also featured in a 2005 film, Waiting..., and starred in the 2007 comedy Who's Your Caddy?. He has been a frequent co-host on the syndicated radio show Loveline with Dr. Drew Pinsky[2] (from the radio station KROQ) since co-host Adam Carolla left in November 2005. In 2005 he recorded a hip hop song “Like Dis” together with his friend, J-Kwon.
