Why We Love Him
From The Daily Show to Flight of the Conchords to his stand-up acts with his trusty easel, Demetri has earned his place in the comedic realm with his soothing monotone voice and geeky outfits. It’s true that he has a passion for palindromes and is allergic to peanuts, two exceptionally geeky qualities that seal Demetri’s fate as a comic nerd. But his tussled dark locks and deep chestnut eyes more than make up for it; so even though we live for PB&J sandwiches, we’d shun them for him any day!
