GET UPDATES FROM Andy McDonald
 
Andy McDonald is a writer, comedian and all-around lifelike person from Wisconsin. His work appears mostly on his site I am Andy McDonald.

Before graduating with a degree in English -- recently voted MOST USEFUL DEGREE IN THE UNIVERSE by Useful Degree Magazine -- Andy lived in New York City where he worked at Comedy Central as an Editorial Intern.

He's written for Gawker, The Huffington Post, and various comedy sketch shows at Second City in Chicago.

He's interviewed for jobs at The Onion, Comedy Central, and even Groupon, but they opted instead for candidates with less Andy McDonald experience.

And that's okay. If she had time to conduct a search, Andy's grandma would have looked at other candidates to cut her grass before deciding to go with him.

But now she has the most hilarious lawn on the block.
