Joe "Monk" Pardavila

Monk, AKA Joe Pardavila, is Scott & Todd's Executive Producer and occasional voice of reason.

Born and raised in Northern New Jersey, in the shadow of New York City, Monk grew up dreaming of a career in show business.

A prepubescent Monk would put together shows that included magic, music, and celebrity impressions for anyone who would placate him.  His nights were spent studying Johnny Carson, David Lettermen, Eddie Murphy, and the legendary comic minds of the 1980's.

Lacking book smarts and athletic ability, he was virtually unemployable outside of the entertainment industry.  After a brief and unsuccessful run at William Patterson College in Wayne, New Jersey, Monk stumbled upon a job at legendary New York City radio station, 95.5 WPLJ.

Young Monk spent over a year driving the prize van and handing out free t-shirts when he was plucked from obscurity and given a job with the station's celebrated AM drive show, Scott & Todd in the Morning.

He started as a phone operated but immediately began contributing on-air with his sarcastic charm and vast knowledge of pop culture.  Eventually, Scott Shannon and Todd Pettengill named Monk their Executive Producer and right hand man.

Monk has dedicated the last 10 years to raising money and awareness for Huntington's Disease, a brain disorder that took his father's life.  HD is passed down through families in which nerve cells in certain parts of the brain waste away. In 2011, Monk raised over $15,000 by running the ING New York City Marathon and finishing in 4 hours and 12 minutes.

He's a huge sports enthusiast and glutton for punishment as a long suffering fan of the Mets and Jets. Monk stays sane with sporadic sleep, Crossfit, and long distance running.
