[edit] Question of age

Can anyone provide a reference for the claim that he was born in 1976? I can't find anything else to back that up, and frankly it's rather unbelievable. -Sam Walker (2005/7/4)

Public records aside, you could easily read any number of his interviews to glean this fact. —RaD Man (talk) 5 July 2005 06:24 (UTC)
Here is a quote:
"But Mr. Milonakis isn't a wise-ass junior high schooler. At 27, he's a wise-ass network administrator at a midtown accounting firm who's been quietly moonlighting in comedy for years.
Mr. Milonakis was completely up front about his age--it's no secret--but didn't want to go into great detail about his condition. Too "Barbara Walters Special," as he put it. "I do comedy," he said. Though his appearance did make it "harder to get girls," he said he's in good health. "I don't have any liver or kidney disease like Gary Coleman," he said."


The IMDb lists him as being born in 1976 http://imdb.com/name/nm1429102/


I have a hard time believing that this is a debate of sufficient magnitude as to require the locking of the article... He's clearly been identified as having been born in 1976. Themindset 23:38, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

It's not. It was requested to be protected due to vandalism. Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive35 I'll unprotect it for now. --Kbdank71 16:44, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Note: there is daily vandalism to this page, someone changes the age to make him 15. Sigh. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 03:39, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Note: there's daily vandalism to this talk page as well.. this is annoying. Hey, vandals, how about explaining why you're so committed to making this guy a teenager? Themindset 05:49, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

So are we settled on saying Andy was born in 76 or is it 69?

Look, I think people just think it's funny to make him a teen. If his show was funny, maybe nobody would. But you got to face facts that his show is not that good. That's not my opinion, it's a fact. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.148.78.242 (talk • contribs) 04:14, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

MTV has made a concerted effort to obfuscate Mr. Milonakis's real age now that his show is on the air. A 29 year old man performing like a child is somehow less funny. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.26.80.73 (talk • contribs) 21:06, 9 August 2005 (UTC) Okay, what the freak ever. You say what you want to say you retarded good for nothing whoever you are's. It's not a FACT that his show is bad. It's your OPINION. Some people think it's hilarious because it's dumb. Some people like to laugh at dumb stuff. It doesn't have to be the most hilarious joke or most hilarious whatever to laugh at it. Many people love that show and I THINK it's off air because I haven't seen it for awhile. I have friends at school that repeat stuff he says and everyone laughs and it's just a good show. Age doesn't matter. If he was 101 and still looked like that, and still did his show. I'd still laugh at it. Forget age. It's how funny/dumb it is.

The reason that Andy looks like a kid is because, according to a stupid negative review at imdb.com, it says he suffers from antipituitarism, something which Gary Coleman also has. He really is 29. And like the person who previously posted something, "A 29 year old man performing like a child is somehow less funny." --daunrealist 19:02, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

This age thing should be over: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/10/AR2005081002371.html Like Andy or not, but let him have his own page. plucas 19:32, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

According to Andy's Birth Certificate, obtained from the public records department of Katonah, New York, the information is: Date of birth (location) 30 January 1976 Katonah, New York, USA

If he was born in Katonah why does the Wikipedia entry say Queens? TaintedInk 31 January 2006


Can someone tell me what "antipituitarism" is and why I cannot find any actual information on it? I am not doubting that he has a growth-hormone disorder, however, I would feel more comfortable (and I am positive other readers would, as well) if there were more legitimate information on his disorder. If not for the sake of confirmation, for the sake of curiousity. Anyone have valid keywords? -- Yama Thi Khuu 8:25PM March 2, 2006

[edit] what's the point of vandalising the talk page?

98% of readers never look at the talk page, it's pretty much just wikipedians... i don't really understand what is to be gained by vandalising this page. Themindset 21:01, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

To be an Internet troll, of course. 204.52.215.107 22:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Before the Andy Milonakis Show

Additional information on Andy: Andy studied at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre NY for two years. He was in a show called Anydayville, directed by Paul Scheer which ran for several months. He also briefly did a one man show called Andy Milonakis Is Not Funny (http://www.ucbtheatre.com/schedule/showdetails.php?showid=396), a collection of sketches and videos. - unsigned comment by 66.108.145.122 14:50, 9 August 2005

[edit] Richard Leigh

Should we have a link to Richard Leigh's anti-Andy Milonakis video? Just a thought to the admins. --daunrealist 19:06, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

What's the link? Themindset 19:21, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Richard Leigh Link --daunrealist 18:35, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dying?

I have heard from several sources that Andy Milonakis is dying of whatever condition makes him look so young. Is there any truth to this, and if so, shouldn't the page be amended appropriately with a yes/no? -HX 21:18, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Please WP:CITE any of these several sources and then adjustments can be made if necessary. Hall Monitor 21:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Videosblog

Videosblog.com has been taken down, admins! take down the link! --daunrealist 18:36, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article is protected

Due to persistent vandalism, this article has been temporarily protected from editing for a minimum period of one week. Hall Monitor 17:18, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, it's certainly been more than a week. Seems like it should be unlocked (despite how much fun it is putting every small correction to the article that's needed on the talk page for an admin to do). Ethan0 05:44, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please fix grammar since the article is locked

Could someone please fix the last sentence, "Despite popular belief, Milonakis was not boy who frequently appeared on the Man Show." should have a "the" in between "not" and "boy", making it: "Despite popular belief, Milonakis was not the boy who frequently appeared on the Man Show." Thanks! (24.98.198.164 04:53, 12 September 2005 (UTC))

Thank you for pointing this out, the error has been corrected. Hall Monitor 23:12, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Remove double line

Can an admin please format the article so that the hidden comment does not create a superfluous double line at the top of the article? Or better yet, just erase the comment since the article is protected anyway. ♥purplefeltangel (talk) ♥ (contribs) 03:13, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] approval process

I am going to create a subpage for this one, please add a link to the subpage in the article. The subpage for Andy Milonakis will be Wikipedia:Andy Milonakis. --Nintendude 01:05, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

No. Articles don't belong in the Wikipedia: space. The best place to suggest additions is here at the talk page. I am deleting Wikipedia:Andy Milonakis. FreplySpang (talk) 16:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Well then, I will just create a page outside of the Wikipedia: namespace, how about Andy Milonakis (editable)? --Nintendude 17:26, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
No, that would describe an article about an editable person named Andy Milonakis. If you have changes to propose, the right place to do it is here on the talk page. FreplySpang (talk) 17:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Time to unprotect?

I've left a note for Hall Monitor asking if he has any objections. I'll unprotect in seven or eight hours if nobody objects. FreplySpang (talk) 18:04, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Unprotected. FreplySpang (talk) 13:20, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
No objections here, thanks for taking care of this FreplySpang. Hall Monitor 17:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Time to reprotect?

Can someone reprotect this article? The only changes to it since it was last unprotected have been vandalism. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 15:13, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I'd rather not protect it at this point. The vandalism is annoying but manageable. Protection should be a short-term response to a (more-or-less) directed attack. If another admin chooses to protect it, I won't go against that, but please don't leave it protected for months again!! FreplySpang (talk) 15:21, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Andy's Disease

Does anyone know the name of the disorder he has?

Also, there has been some more vandalism of his page, which I just removed. Opblaaskrokodil 02:39, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Can you please cite/prove that Andy has any disease? As far as I know, when he said he had one, he was joking.

[edit] Andy's Hobbies

"Andy's hobbies are hopscotch, GameCube, and lamp shopping."

This is what the article currently says... Lamp shopping? Is there something to support this? This seems like an odd hobby, and with no source to support it, it looks to me like some subtle vandalism. Hopscotch is also an odd hobby, and GameCube sounds entirely believable to me Opblaaskrokodil 02:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow!

I had no idea that he was 30 years old! I do think that, as another person mentioned, it is much less funny to watch a 30 year old do such stupid things on TV. I can see how MTV would not be willing to indicate his age in any way. By the way, vandalising wikipedia is stupid. Out. —This unsigned comment was added by 65.60.250.5 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] The Man Show

Does anyone else have information on Andy's supposed comment on Loveline about being the Man Show Boy? The wiki article and IMDB both credit this role to Aaron Hamill. Specifically I'm looking for the date that this episode aired. [[User:bengehlh|bengehlh


It aired December10,2005

[edit] Anon comment

You might want to protect it again, I just took out a line that said he was "pretty annoying not funny at all." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.181.108.241 (talk • contribs).

I heard he was born with a sickness that will kill the hormones over time giving him the appearance of a teenager. And he is dying, your body needs hormones to function in many different ways, and since the hormnes die over time, so will he.

Aren't we all? hormones die over time? i don't even know what to say. -XI

[edit] Current Residence?

Even if he really does live there, so what? -XI

[edit] Age

Do you people really fall for that "growth hormone disorder" story? How come Milonakis is the first person on earth to have it? I'd like to have it and stay young forever! Can't doctor's remove my grown hormone? Hasn't it occurred to anybody that Milonakis is a young version of Silvia Night or Andy Kaufman? His date of birth should not be stated as factual information. Miskin 14:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

PS, I don't believe that Milonakis has the disorder of Gary Coleman. Coleman _does_ look old, he's just very small [1], that is all. Milonakis looks, acts and thinks completely like a child, it's so obvious. Miskin 15:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

There is an article [2] from 2003 I found that briefly talks about his age. Something else I would like to mention is that Andy Milonakis has maintained a consistent appearance since the release of "The Super Bowl is Gay". If Andy Milonakis were indeed currently a prepubescent boy, he would have most likely gone through several physical changes since the release of the video on angrynakedpat.com.68.77.176.38 00:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
According to IMDB, the birthday here is correct, so this lends credence to the hormone-birth defect story. 68.165.57.107 07:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hoping for "Biology to provide a cure" ?

Seriously, that needs to be reworded, because, it sounds like a 10 year-old wrote it. While we're at it, how about a source for that statement? I tend to doubt that Andy is sitting around, crossing his fingers for a cure. Especially since he owes his livelihood to looking (and acting) like a young boy. -XI
