Eleanor and Lexi sit down with the super funny Sandy Danto and learn about his first 5 and the perks of going to sports camp. 

 Sandy moved to LA after studying at Indiana University while taking summer classes at the famed Second City in Detroit, then immediately starts working at National Lampoon. He is a character actor, but is equally comfortable playing himself and did so plenty during his stint with the Lampoon. In addition to his on camera work, he writes, directs and produces comedy shorts, which is what he was hired to do for National Lampoon. His work can be seen on NationalLampoon.com and on their college television networks.

Shortly after moving to Hollywood, he goes on to appear on Mad TV and Comedy Central's Mash-up, as well as co-hosts the web-series Fat Guy Nation. He eventually goes on tour with 90's icon Pauly Shore and builds a name for himself that he carries back to LA on his back and throws down at the steps of his apartment, where he gets back to work, writing jokes. Whether or not any success, paid gigs or applause fulfill him, and what he came to California to do, isn't even relevant at this point. His presence on stage as a performer and friend is relevant in itself. Anything else is bonus and whether or not you laugh, isn't. He'll be fine because, after all, he's just dreaming.
