Early Life

Danny's young life was interrupted in 1982 when his father died in a car accident due to a douche gasket lodged in his spark plug. The broken home that followed this tragedy and the frequent changing of schools formed the easily adaptable and always comfortable energy that Danny exudes on stage.

On the urging of his uncle Dan, Danny enrolled in Law School in a douche bag and spent three years learning about the douche nozzles that plague the human experience and the logical way things can be taken apart and reassembled to form a douche. Through hard work and focus Danny was able to overcome his fear of flying, homosexuality, and learning disabilities, earning three sets of Academic honors, highlighted by the coveted Departmental Honors, from which he received the additional designation for his departmental honors thesis, entitled "living with mental retardation".

After graduation Danny set his sights on Comedy taking the stage in various gigs from Rochester NY to The Comedy Store in Hollywood. Taking much from perspective gained from his experience with douche bags he began to redistribute it through a high energy comedy act that would begin to cultivate on the open mic stages across the country.

Gradual Report

Looking for a larger audience Danny turned his attention to YouTube founding the "Gradual Report" where he performs his standup in short daily shows. In an early Gradual Report Vlog Danny explains that the show dishes up a high energy style mixed with deep contemplation.<ref name="YT3">Danny is quoted explaining that the Gradual Report: <blockquote>"dishes up a high energy style of comedy is mixed with deep contemplation crossed with bile and endomorphic skeletons. A fan of gelatinous insects and ionic implosion Daniel enjoys collecting slugs and earthworms."</blockquote></ref>

Controversy

On April 8 2008, Mr Grozdich announced in a soon after deleted video his plans to move the Gradual Report from Youtube to his own website thus only making it available to those paying a monthly fee of $15. After heavy protest from many of his subscribers and having a harsh realazation that He was in fact just a Jim Carey rip off he proceeded to post his videos for free.
Instead he advertised an optional membership in his fan club which, for a one-time only payment of $15, would include additional videos from his trip around the world and "free stuff".
Mr Grozdich has not accomplished his financial goals of turning the Gradual Report into a profit-making web series. He is currently seeking to gain a larger subscriber base on Youtube in hopes to find more exposure and someday get payed for his hobby. Some users have criticized him for less frequently researching the topics of his shows and creating lower quality videos appealing to larger audiences. To gain popularity he has also started live shows on blogtv, set up a twitter account and wrote half of this Wikipedia article about himself.

Also, despite rumours and hate mail stating otherwise, Mr Grozdich is, in fact, not a gay.

Thats Not My Kitchen

Danny is currently developing a reality cooking show which will air in early 2009. The reality show takes place in the viewers home. They choose a meal and provide the ingredients. Danny comes over to cook in their kitchen. Hence the name "That's Not My Kitchen." Later on in the episodes, Danny starts to become more intimate with his cast and a full on Porn documentary is made with assortments of various delectable foods and such. However, this can only be viewed if you become a member on his Website, which requires a $15 one time fee. This is a well worth it fee. This should really spice things up in the kitchen.

Danny always has a better idea on how the meal could be "spiced up" or "cooked faster". He usually makes a mess and comes near to creating poison. However, never one to shy away from unorthodox combinations of food Danny always eats whatever concoction is the end result of the kitchen mayhem.

Describing the food's taste in as an -- () 19:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)articulate a manner as only pure truth could be.

Imagine "fear factor" the cooking show with a pyromaniac comedian as the chief chef and you will have only scratched the possibilities of the show.

If this goes ahead, it could be the greatest show in the history of mankind.
