Monkey Boy

Monkey Boy is the Executive Producer of Scott & Todd in the Morning and fitness personality who promotes weight-loss programs, most famously through a line of aerobics videos and television programs.

He is known for his humor, flamboyant personality, and heightened energy.

Mr. Boy was born in New Jersey but moved to Los Angeles in the 1970s, where he became interested in fitness, but was dissatisfied with the unhealthy fad diet methods and established gyms.  He opened his own exercise studio, where the emphasis was placed on providing encouragement on healthy eating in proper portions and enjoyable exercise.

With his business proving highly successful, Monkey Boy began to draw media attention, beginning with an appearance on the television show Real People where he was shown at work and introduced customers whom he had helped to lose weight.

For a time in the early 1980s, Monkey Boy even had an Emmy Award winning talk show, where he focused on personal health, fitness, exercise, and healthy cooking.

In the mid 90’s, he joined Scott & Todd as an Associate Producer a nd was later elevated to the position of Executive Producer in 2004.

When Monk’s not dominating his fantasy baseball league, watching TV, going to the movies or tirelessly rooting for the Jets and the Mets, he’s dedicated himself to help finding a cure for Huntington’s Disease.  His father, Arturo, passed away after fighting HD for 10 years.  For more information on Huntington’s Disease go to www.hdsa.org.
