Anthony Cumia, born on April 26, 1961, is a prominent American radio personality, actor, comedian, and podcaster. He is best known for his role as the co-host of the influential Opie and Anthony radio show, which captivated audiences from 1995 until its conclusion in 2014. Following his departure from SiriusXM Radio, Cumia embarked on a new journey in broadcasting.
In 2014, Cumia's career faced a significant turning point when he was dismissed from SiriusXM after a series of controversial tweets that sparked widespread backlash. This incident marked a pivotal moment in his career, leading him to explore new avenues in the podcasting world.
Shortly after his exit from traditional radio, Cumia launched The Anthony Cumia Show, which quickly gained traction among fans. In 2017, he transitioned to The Artie and Anthony Show alongside comedian Artie Lange, further diversifying his portfolio. However, after Lange's departure in May 2018, the show reverted to its original title, continuing to showcase Cumia's unique style and perspective.
