A three-time Emmy Award winner hailing from Queens, NY, Glenn Giangrande performs multiple tasks in his job with the YES Network, including blogging for its website on a weekly basis during baseball season. He’s been mildly reprimanded for getting a little too personal with some of his entries, but that merely demonstrates his openness to communicate about pretty much anything going on in his life, whether it’s as interesting as dating/gambling or as mundane as making a sandwich/paying off credit card bills.

Glenn wound up at YES with help from a connection he made at Quinnipiac University, a school he had never even heard of when he decided to apply there. After taking one look at the campus, Glenn decided to attend the Q and spurn a chance to attend NYU, a fact that would raise multiple eyebrows through the years and serve as a great icebreaker at parties. Even though he spent the alleged best four years of his life in sleepy Hamden, Connecticut, Glenn thoroughly enjoyed his time there and still frequently mixes college-like behavior with his mid-level professionalism.

Somehow, he’s played more beer pong since graduating than he did when he was in school.
