Frank Joseph Nicotero (born March 4, 1969 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American comedian widely known as the host of the syndicated comedy game show Street Smarts.
Frank Nicotero got his start in Pittsburgh doing stand up, quickly finding success when he landed his first stand-up gig at Pittsburgh's famed Funny Bone comedy club in 1988. Shortly afterward, he toured college circuits, appearing with other comedians including Drew Carey, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider – and appearing at more than 300 colleges and clubs throughout the country. He has been a regular for over 10 years at The World Famous Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip. He is also a regular at The Icehouse in Pasadena and The Comedy Magic Club in Hermosa Beach.
In 1996, Nicotero appeared as a contestant on Wink Martindale's Debt, winning the episode's grand prize of $14,106, retiring his debt of $7,053 and being awarded a corresponding cash prize. He later appeared on the Fox Sports Network trivia game The Ultimate Fan League where he won $10,000 in prizes. That same year, he was approached to write for the shows Peer Pressure and Outrageous. He later wrote and produced Gameworld and Faux Pause for the Game Show Network, and in the summer of 1999, was contacted by the producers of Street Smarts.
