Dan Andros grew up in the rough suburban town of , a town just 2 hours away from . Inspired by his family's love for sports and other outdoor activities, Dan rarely focused on school and instead honed his skills in baseball, football, basketball, golf and motocross. He excelled particularly in basketball and golf, as he played both in high school and then went on to play basketball in college (although due to excessive partying in college he had a very lackluster career averaging a pathetic 6.7 points per game). His teams assistant coach, Del Jackson, has been portrayed by Jeff Fisher as a court-side reporter in several of the shows comedy bits. The real Del Jackson is most fondly remembered for always making the team bus drive far out of the way so they could eat at Wendy's.

After narrowly graduating from college Dan concentrated on one of the only careers dumb jocks can excel in, broadcasting. But before getting his big break broadcasting, Dan worked in the communications department of the multi billion dollar conglomerate Fortune 500 company (drive thru) to make ends meet. But it wasn’t long before Dan got his break and worked in one of the most storied sports towns in American history, Richmond Virginia, at Sports Radio WRNL 910. There he covered big sports franchises like The Richmond Braves (minor league affiliate of the Atlanta Braves) and the Media Softball league featuring all the local TV stations and their personalities. After a successful stint in Richmond, Dan moved on to WDAE 620 The Sports Animal in Tampa, FL and was an on air talent as he called each host everyday during their shows to be a “guest” for about :30 seconds to 1 minute per appearance.

His big break came while in Tampa when he was offered a chance to work with his childhood friend, Stu, at for the Glenn Beck Program. He began as a call screener, later moved up the ladder to board operator, and has now hit the glass ceiling as the voice talent behind each hour's opening announcement, "This half hour of the Glenn Beck Program is brought to you by ______".

During his stay in Florida Dan got married to his stunning wife Tara Schott, now aptly named Tara Andros. They have a daughter named Kaitlyn.

When asked what a guy with such a passion for sports and sports broadcasting would even find remotely fun about working for a host (Glenn) who is sobbing every other day, who is constantly dieting and worrying about his figure, who is into interior home design, a host who knows nothing about and who could care less about sports?? Dan responded by saying, “Nothing, really. But thanks for reminding me chief, I appreciate it, no really, I do. ”

No bio on Dan would be complete without mentioning his pride and joy. Beyond the impressive career for the Third Highest Rated Talk Show and the accompanying 4 digit salary, beyond the birth of his first child, the real motivation behind the man who is Dan Andros is his beloved 1997 .

Dan was killed in a 24 type bit after being shot with a nerve gas bullet on 03/21/06.

Dan has the ability to quote at least one line from the movie Willow: "Mad Mordigan!!!!!!". Hey, it could be worse... if he could quote a line from "AI" then we'd be very concerned.

Dan is a lover of mint chocolate chip ice cream but was recently defeated by Glenn in the great ice-cream eating challenge of 2006 when he failed to completely consume a quart of Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream. He continues to seek therapy to this day.
