Source-derived summary

Andrew Michael Milonakis (; born January 30, 1976) is an American comedian, actor, rapper, and internet personality. He is best known for his work on The Andy Milonakis Show, a sketch comedy series that aired on MTV and MTV2 from 2005 to 2007. Other notable films and TV series in which Milonakis has appeared include Kroll Show, Waiting..., and Adventure Time.

Early life

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

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.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “american comedian” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q326440. VIAF identifies the subject as 9302527. The Library of Congress control number is n2007072519. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1976, 2005, 2007 and 2003.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
