Elfin Singer Delights Viewers

I found this article in a search for Andy Milonakis' age. (27!)

Elfin Singer Delights Viewers

by Jason Gay

On the morning of Jan. 26, an apple-cheeked unknown from Astoria, Queens, named Andy Milonakis crawled out of bed and made the most important decision of his life.

He decided not to attend a friend's Super Bowl party.

Instead, Mr. Milonakis picked up a guitar he can't really play, turned on a video camera in his bedroom and began to sing a really, really, really stupid song.

The Super Bowl is gay, he sang.
The Super Bowl is gay.
Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl
Is gaaaaaaay.

At the top of his lungs, Mr. Milonakis went on to condemn the following things as "gay": the Oakland Raiders, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, water, cologne, DVD players, DVD's, stray cats, the sky, cottage cheese, yogurt, shirts, McDonald's, K.F.C., vacuum cleaners, dollar bills, coins, scanners and CD burners, among others. He concluded by singing, "We're all gaaaaaay!"

Then Mr. Milonakis posted the video, called "The Super Bowl Is Gay," on an Internet Web site, angrynakedpat.com, which contained a reservoir of his short, juvenile films.

That was it. Word spread, and "The Super Bowl Is Gay" received zillions of hits on the Internet. A writer for ABC’s new late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, spotted it and got Mr. Milonakis on the program. Mr. Kimmel joked that he wants to adopt him. He’s shown "The Super Bowl Is Gay" and two other videos Mr. Milonakis made, and wants him to cover spring break in Florida. MTV is calling. A guitarist from Ozzy Osbourne’s band who’s starting his own group wants Mr. Milonakis to sing "The Super Bowl Is Gay" before he plays. Adult women are sending him their photographs saying, "We love you, Andy."

...

What some of Mr. Milonakis’ fans may not have known is that the Chunky Peanut Butter Boy and Cuppy and the "Super Bowl Is Gay" kid isn’t a kid at all. Mr. Milonakis has a medical condition—"a growth-hormone thing," he said—that makes him look considerably younger than his age. He could easily pass for a wise-ass junior high schooler.

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.
