Early life

Milonakis was born in Katonah, New York, to a Greek-American family. His father was born in Greece.{{cite tweet|number=1036737693454086147|user=andymilonakis|title=@HlPPIESCUM my dad is fully Greek and was born in Greece |accessdate=August 31, 2020|date=September 3, 2018}}{{Cite web|title=ANDY MILONAKIS - The Greek comedian that looks like a 14-year old|url=https://www.ellines.com/en/achievements/4575-o-komikos-pou-moiazei-me-14chrono-paidi/|access-date=January 28, 2020|website=www.ellines.com}} Milonakis was born with a growth hormone deficiency, causing him to have the appearance and voice of an adolescent.{{cite web|author=TV.com|date=January 30, 1976|title=Andy Milonakis|url=http://www.tv.com/people/andy-milonakis/|access-date=March 28, 2017|website=TV.com|archive-date=June 15, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615004515/http://www.tv.com/people/andy-milonakis/|url-status=dead}} He attended John Jay High School in Lewisboro.{{cite tweet |last=Milonakis |first=Andy |author-link=Andy Milonakis |user=andymilonakis |number=892679071611670528 |date=August 2, 2017 |title=@mpanzer55 fox lane and john jay |language=en |access-date=September 19, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200831205923/https://twitter.com/andymilonakis/status/892679071611670528 |archive-date=August 31, 2020 |url-status=live}} 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. 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.

Throughout 2017 and 2018, Milonakis was heavily involved with livestreamer Paul Denino, better known as Ice Poseidon, appearing in his livestreams and associating with his CX Network.{{Citation needed|date=February 2025}}

Personal life

After having lived in Los Angeles, California for much of his career, in September 2021 Milonakis moved to Astoria, Queens, New York City.{{cite tweet |last=Milonakis |first=Andy |author-link=Andy Milonakis |user=andymilonakis |number=1435664180036636673 |date=September 8, 2021 |title=Omw to get the keys to my new apartment in Astoria, Queens 🤩 |language=en |access-date=December 20, 2022}} In January 2025, Milonakis moved to Austin, Texas.{{cite tweet |number=1880455469506130089 |user=andymilonakis |title=Moved from queens to Austin |first=Andy |last=Milonakis |date=January 17, 2025 |access-date=January 18, 2025}}
