Frankie Quiñones On The Return Of “The Frankie Quiñones Show,” Working With iHeartMedia, Hulu’s “This Fool,” Stand-Up & More

Frankie Quiñones is a hard-working comedian, actor and creator who you may recognize from a variety of places. Beyond starring in the Hulu comedy This Fool as Luis, Quiñones recently appeared on FX’s What We Do In The Shadows and TBS’ The Dress Gang beyond voicing characters on the Cartoon Network’s Victor & Valentino and HBO Max’s Fired On Mars. Speaking of HBO Max, that channel featured a half-hour stand-up special starring Quiñones last year, as titled Superhomies.

Acting and stand-up comedy successes aside, Frankie Quiñones is the host of the acclaimed podcast The Frankie Quiñones Show, as produced by Will Ferrell and iHeartMedia’s Big Money Players Network. His podcast, which returns for a second season this week, features sketches of colorful characters created by Quiñones. This includes Creeper (a reformed cholo-turned-fitness sensation), perpetually-despondent cousin Emo Primo, and feel-good guardian angel Pachanga. That is the very same Creeper who has 600K+ Instagram followers, whose video content this writer personally cannot get enough of.

On October 11, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with Frankie Quiñones via Zoom, as embededed below. More on Quiñones and The Frankie Quiñones Show can be found here, here and here.
