[edit] Life
Jonah was born in Brooklyn, New York, and attended school at Bronx High School of Science, graduating in 1988. He has identified himself as bisexual.[2]
[edit] Penis
Falcon gained media attention after appearing in the 1999 HBO's documentary Private Dicks: Men Exposed, in which men were interviewed in the nude about their penises. He also gained additional coverage after Rolling Stone did a feature story on him in June 2003. Falcon was reported as claiming in the article that his father was legendary porn star John Holmes, but "family members scoff at this suggestion" and Falcon himself retracted it. He said that he had mentioned a rumor to the writer of the article, which the writer attributed to fact.
In early 2006, he appeared in a documentary by UK Channel 4 called 'The World's Biggest Penis', and appeared in a Closer magazine shoot with model Jodie Marsh. His large size also led him to several appearances on the Howard Stern radio program. [2]
Jonah Falcon's penis is 9.5 inches (24 cm) flaccid, 13.5 inches (34 cm) erect.[3]

[edit] Talkin' Yankees
Falcon is an avid New York Yankees fan, and hosts an hour-long cable television call-in show devoted to the baseball team called Talkin' Yankees Hosted by Jonah Falcon, on Time Warner Cable Channel 56. Originally the show aired at 11PM, to 12 Midnight, but on September 18, 2006, the show changed its time slot to 4PM to 5PM.
The program has achieved a level of notability based on calls made by Sal Governale and Richard Christy, part of the crew at Howard Stern's show. The duo frequently call into the program, often in the form of a prank call, and replay the results on Stern's show.
Following the end of the Yankees season, however, he changes the format of the show to Talkin' X-Box, where he invites callers to discuss the X-Box 360, as well as its high profile games. However, he still receives crank calls from Governale and Christy (who try and instead discuss the Yankees now that the show's format changed), who then replay the results on Howard Stern's show.
