Andrew Michael Milonakis was born on January 30, 1976, in Katonah, New York. He grew up in Queens with Greek-American parents and an older sister, and he has a growth hormone shortage that makes him appear and sound like a teenager. Andy employed self-deprecation to avoid bullying while he was a student at John Jay High School, and he stated that “humour is a terrific defensive strategy.” Milonakis has a degree in computer engineering and formerly worked in tech assistance at an accounting business; the firm let him go after he began appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” because he wasn’t putting in enough time at work. Andy attended training at the renowned Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and performed improv and stand-up comedy in his spare time while working at the firm.

After a writer for the late-night talk programme “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” viewed the video, Andy received an email from one of the show’s producers telling him to call right away.
