Early life

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. 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.{{cite news |last1=Segal |first1=David |title=Who's the Comedian? |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/10/AR2005081002371.html |access-date=October 26, 2014 |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=August 11, 2005}}{{cite web |last1=Gay |first1=Jason |title=Elfin Singer Delights Viewers |url=http://observer.com/2003/03/elfin-singer-delights-viewers/ |website=The Observer|access-date=October 26, 2014|date=March 24, 2003}}{{cite web |last1=Silver |first1=Stephen |title='The Super Bowl is Gay' Turns 10 |url=http://www.technologytell.com/entertainment/12210/the-super-bowl-is-gay-turns-10/ |website=TechnologyTell |publisher=GadgeTell |access-date=February 8, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906142043/http://www.technologytell.com/entertainment/12210/the-super-bowl-is-gay-turns-10/ |archive-date=September 6, 2017 |date=February 6, 2013 |url-status=usurped}}
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.{{cite web |last1=Goble |first1=Corban |title=Three Loco – "We Are Farmers" (Feat.

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.{{cite web |url=http://munchies.vice.com/show/fat-prince |title=Fat Prince | MUNCHIES |date=2017-02-07 |access-date=2021-06-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207154722/https://munchies.vice.com/show/fat-prince |archive-date=2017-02-07}} In each episode, he and a changing cast of chefs combined cheap ingredients with expensive ingredients to make a unique meal.
