Frank Santopadre
Frank Santopadre was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Queens, New York, a fan of Mad magazine, Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Top 40 radio and Adam West's "Batman." He was also an obsessive reader of screen credits, which made a career in entertainment seem strangely inevitable.

He's written talk shows, specials, award shows, animated series and even bubblegum cards and he co-hosted 639 episodes of "Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast!", providing him with an opportunity to interview many of the showbiz heroes who (unknowingly) changed his life. He resides in New York City with his wife, author Genevieve Sterbenz and two thoroughly unimpressed cats.
