Anthony Steven Kalloniatis (born August 22, 1967), known professionally as ANT, is an American stand-up comedian and actor.

A native of Londonderry, New Hampshire, ANT performed at comedy clubs across the nation. For four years starting in 1995, he was a semiregular cast member on the WB series Unhappily Ever After.

With the end of that show and looking for ways to supplement his income, ANT recruited several men to become internet models. His involvement in the internet sex trade is documented in the 2001 film WebCam Boys, which he also co-produced.[1]

Having gained nationwide attention in 2004 as a contestant on the second season of Last Comic Standing, ANT is the only comedian to appear in three of that show's four seasons. The same year, he released a comedy album, Follow My Ass.

He is the host of VH1 reality series Celebrity Fit Club and a regular judge of talent on Steve Harvey's Big Time. His television series, U.S. of ANT, premiered on MTV Network's gay-targeted Logo cable channel in the summer of 2006. ANT also frequently appears as a commentator on such shows as VH1's Best Week Ever and CNBC's Dennis Miller, and is a regular guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, most recently on August 4, 2006.
