Biography
Milonakis has a congenital growth-hormone condition that gives him the appearance of being much younger than he looks, when he is in fact an adult. In his high school years (John Jay High School, Cross River, New York) Andy used comedy as a means to handle being made fun of. "Humor is a great defense mechanism," Andy Milonakis says. "If you're a serious, fat, young-looking kid, you're not going to be the most popular guy in high school."12
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", "Cuppy", and "The Super Bowl Is Gay." Comedian Jimmy Kimmel later recruited him for regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on television from 2003 to 2004.
To this day, Milonakis still frequently creates webcam videos and posts them on his YouTube channel AMilonakis.
