Anthony Steven Kalloniatis (born August 23, 1967[1]), now known professionally and legally as Ant[2], is a Greek-American stand-up comedian and actor.[3] Ant prefers his name spelled in all capital letters.[4] A native of Londonderry, New Hampshire, Ant performed at comedy clubs across the nation. For four years starting in 1995, he was a semi regular cast member on the WB series Unhappily Ever After. With the end of that show and looking for ways to supplement his income, Ant recruited several men to become internet models. His involvement in the voyeur cam business is documented in the 2001 film WebCam Boys, which he also co-produced.[5] Ant appeared as a contestant on Last Comic Standing, and has appeared in four of that show's five seasons. That same year, he released a comedy album on Comedy Central Records, Follow My Ass. In 2005, he released the comedy DVD, "ANT: America's Ready." He is the host of VH1 reality series Celebrity Fit Club and was a regular judge of talent on Steve Harvey's Big Time. His television series, U.S. of ANT, premiered on MTV Network's gay-targeted Logo cable channel in the summer of 2006. Ant also frequently appears as a commentator on such shows as VH1's Best Week Ever and CNBC's Dennis Miller, and is a regular guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as well as "The Howard Stern Show". In 2007, he appeared along with Snoop Dogg as a guest star on MTV's sketch comedy show Short Circuitz. ANT also appeared as a regular celebrity guest on the game show, "To Tell The Truth," alongside Jacke Harry, Meshack Taylor and John O'Hurley.
He was a talent judge in NBC's 5th season of Last Comic Standing, along with Kathleen Madigan and Alonzo Bodden. On 30 September 2008 it was reported that Ant is suing British presenters Ant & Dec for using his name in the U.S. The suit, among other things, alleges trademark infringement and fraud. The case is still pending in the District Court of Boston.[6]
