He has anchored Today in New York with Darlene Rodriguez since 2008, and has been embedded with United States military units in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and the Persian Gulf.
Gargiulo was born and raised in Manhattan, New York. He is of Italian ancestry and is the child of Mike Gargiulo and Dorothy Gargiulo.
